If you’re a fan of slasher films with a retro appeal, consider checking out the crowdfunding campaign for the Last Sleepover.

The Last Sleepover is a revenge slasher currently in development by indie filmmakers Gregory W. Brock and Austin Rutherford. Their “elevator pitch” for the movie is “Mean Girls meets I Know What You Did Last Summer.” To expand on that, here’s the plot synopsis from the press release:

A group of former high school friends reuniting on the night of their 20th-year class reunion. Once part of an elite clique called ‘The Pastels,’ they harbored a dark secret—years ago, they tormented a less fortunate girl in a cruel prank that ended in tragedy. After the reunion, they continue the night at an Airbnb for one last sleepover, but the celebration quickly turns into a nightmare. A masked killer begins hunting them down one by one, seeking revenge for the sins of their past.

The clique of high-school girls and the tale of revenge definitely brings to mind the two movies described by the filmmakers. For longtime slasher fans, the plot synopsis might also sound a little like “prank gone wrong” slashers like Terror Train (1980), and other revenge slashers like Prom Night (1980). In fact, the press release states that The Last Sleepover “promises a blood-chilling experience for fans of classic revenge thrillers.” So, the connections feel intentional.

So far, the biggest horror icon announced for the cast of The Last Sleepover is Felissa Rose, star of Sleepaway Camp (1983) and appearing in well over a hundred horror movies since then.
