The Last Slumber Party (blu-ray upgrade)

[billythefist]

This is one for the history books, the movie was apparently not completed when originally shot on film and then finished a few years later on tape for release on VHS. The fine folks at AGFA (who just surfaced Guy From Harlem, praise be) have restored the film from its original film negatives and patching in workprint/VHS footage where needed so it matches the feature we know and love. This isnt some revelatory HD upgrade but the jump from VHS to 16mm is pretty damn big. I really love what those heroes are doing over there... and luckily they made my job pretty easy.

I only had to adjust the audio tempo to compensate for the jump to 24fps on the blu ray and line it up, no fuss no muss. Since it was a damn near perfect lineup for the audio, i decided to add the official Rifftrax subtitles for kicks. There are some minor video differences in this release like the opening credits being missing, so you'll hear the riff about Georges Cardona but not see his name (sidenote: old Georges sure got around, he was the cinematographer for not only The Last Slumber Party but also... David Duke's campaign commercials? You cant make this shit up)

As shitty as the movie is objectively, its got a surreal/dream vibe which i always appreciate. Of course, that vibe is probably just a product of the movie being made by inept morons but still. Enjoy!

Wow this is actually pretty impressive. I always wondered about the big dip in quality during the movie originally. What's funny (to me) is that now with the 16mm film grain easier to see, this looks way more like a 70's movie than an 80's one. Thanks billy!

My thanks, William, I do love me some cheeseball slasher fun!

EDIT: Look at 31:30 in the film, when the cat jumps out of the closet, just before the boyfriend's body swings down from the ceiling. The PA who tosses the cat is clearly visible and trying to hide from the camera as the shot lingers on the body.  High-larious. 

Thanks again Billy!

This is one of my all-time favorite riffs--I can probably do the jokes from beginning to end from memory but it's still fun to watch every time. Thanks!

Yeah its kinda hazy in the old version, the riffers didnt even notice apparently. Maybe she thought the camera was a t-rex?
