Sorority House Massacre II

Sorority House Massacre II (1990)

It's Cleavage vs. Cleavers and the result is Delta Delta Deadly!

Five college women buy the old Hokstedter place for their new sorority house. They got it cheap because of the bloody incidents from five years before. They decide to stay in it for the night so they can meet the movers in the morning, but begin to get the creeps when the weird (but extraordinarily attractive) neighbor Orville Ketchum starts poking around. Shortly after the women take showers and consult a Ouija board they begin experiencing an attrition problem.

Interesting facts

Sorority House Massacre II is a 1990 American slasher film directed by Jim Wynorski, featuring scream queens Melissa Ann Moore and Gail Harris. It follows five sorority sisters who are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant after purchasing a large house. Much like its predecessors, Sorority House Massacre II has received a cult following over the years.

Production

An early draft of the film was written by Mark Thomas McGee. McGee had written a book about Roger Corman and told Corman he wanted to write a film for him. Corman paid him to write Sorority House Massacre II, assigning Beverly Gray to work with him. McGee later said that Gray:

Was more of a critic than a collaborator. She’d tell me what she didn’t like, which was just about everything, but she never told me what she would like in its place. She spoke in generalities. Never specifics. My third draft was no closer to pleasing her than the first one had been. So when she asked for another rewrite I came to the conclusion that I would be writing Sorority House Massacre II for the rest of my life.

Roger Corman and his wife Julie were going away to Europe for a week. Jim Wynorski, who had made a number of films for the two, went to Julie with the idea of making a slasher film on the sets of Slumber Party Massacre 2 and Rock and Roll High School Forever which were both scheduled to be dismantled. Julie Corman put a hold on striking the sets and told Wynorski to make the film while they were gone without telling Roger.

Wynorski says: "I wrote the script in four days, cast it in two and started shooting the moment they left town. Roger only got wind of it after they returned".

The film was originally titled Jim Wynorski’s House of Babes then Nightie Nightmares but was ultimately called Sorority House Massacre 2. Wynorski had never seen the original.
