Cheerleader Massacre

Cheerleader Massacre is a 2003 American B-movie slasher film directed by Jim Wynorski and written by Lenny Juliano. The film stars Tamie Sheffield, Charity Rahmer, and Erin Byron. The film is a direct sequel to The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), with Brinke Stevens reprising her role as Linda Dawn Grant and including a flashback sequence to that film but with a story of its own. As in that film and its sequels, much of the film's appeal relies on female nudity, sex, and gore.
