The Last Slumber Party is a 1988 American slasher film directed by Stephen Tyler and starring Jan Jensen, Nancy Meyer, and Joann Whitley. It follows three teenage girls whose slumber party is infiltrated by a psychopath who recently escaped from a local hospital.[2] The film was featured on RiffTrax in 2014.[3]
The Last Slumber Party was release directly-to-video in 1988 by United Home Video. VCI Entertainment released the film on DVD in 2004 as part of a double feature with Terror at Tenkiller (1986).[4] In 2024, the American Genre Film Archive (AFGA) released the film for the first time on Blu-ray.[1]
In his book The Gorehound's Guide to Splatter Films of the 1980s (2015), writer Scott Aaron Stine compared the film negatively to The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), deeming it an ineffective "rehash".[2] In 2015, journalist Erik Piepenburg of The New York Times noted similarities between both films as well, but profiled the film in an article on underrated "final girls" in slasher films.[5]
