The Massacre films are three series of slasher films executive-produced by Roger Corman: the Slumber Party Massacre series (1982–1990), the Sorority House Massacre series (1986–1990) and the Cheerleader Massacre series (2003–2011), distributed by New World Pictures and New Concorde.[1] The series also features the standalone film Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre (2015), and the reboot film Slumber Party Massacre (2021).

All three Slumber Party Massacre films, and the first Sorority House Massacre were given limited theatrical releases, while Sorority House Massacre II and III, and both Cheerleader Massacre films were released direct-to-video.

Background

The title Massacre Collection was utilized in the marketing of the DVD releases of the films, and was not a part of their theatrical or initial home video releases. The films, the first six of which were each produced by Roger Corman, were marketed as an analogous series based on their related content as well as the inclusion of "massacre" in their respective titles.[2]

The Slumber Party Massacre trilogy has the distinction of being the first horror film series in history whose films were exclusively written and directed by women, in addition to the first spin-off film forming the Sorority House Massacre sub-series.[3]
