    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The film suffered severe cuts by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and as a result most of the murders occur off-camera and feature little to no gore or violence. Because of this, the filmmakers edited the film in such a way that the murders seem to happen immediately after each other in quick succession. When the film was originally shot, more time had passed between each murder, which included special effects and on-screen violence. Ironically, the promotional material released feature several shots of the excised deaths, including Pam (Deborah Hancock) getting skewered by a trident and Virgil (Jeff Pustil) with his hand chopped off.
    • Goofs
      When April is walking around the abandoned snack bar in the cinema, the crew is reflected in the silver metal of the candy case, at the snack area.
    • Quotes

      Veronica: OK, slime-buckets, listen up! The phrase for today is: 'I myself prefer a big, fat cucumber.' Let's hear it.

    • Alternate versions
      Prior to release, MGM cut bloody details from almost every on-screen murder in the film. Just before its release American horror magazine Fangoria published photos of the numerous death scenes pruned from the final cut. These scenes have not been restored back into the film.

    Could Have Been A Classic

    "Killer Party" could have been right there with the best 80s horrors made during that wonderful decade.

    Sadly it ends up being as mediocre as a horror/slasher can be, thanks to the MPAA making the filmmakers cut and slash the film to pieces. All of the deaths are instantly cut away from, and come too quickly after the previous one. The tempo and story suffer greatly because of this.

    The actors and atmosphere are fine, but the movie starts out kind of slow, and then because of all the cuts, once things get going, the movie ends quite quickly. Sad, because "Killer Party" could have been special in the horror genre.
