About this listen
The sleepy town of Cedar Lake is best known as the shooting location of the campy ’80s horror flick Slasher. In high school, preppy Patrick, jock Jason, cheerleader Tiffany, stoner Freddy, goth Jennifer, and nerdy Mikey had played the cast of Slasher during midnight showings, with virginal Carrie as the Final Girl, of course.
Years later, the friends reunite at the remote cabin where Slasher was filmed. They've changed since high school—Carrie found a boyfriend, Patrick came out, Mikey bulked up, and, well, Freddy's still stoned—and they're looking forward to a weekend to catch up. But when night falls, and the eponymous masked killer is spotted, the reunion takes a deadly turn. The friends discover their tires deflated and the phone line disconnected, and soon they’re being stalked by a mysterious assailant. Is someone trying to make their Slasher experience as authentic as possible?
One thing is for sure. Before the night is over, they each will have to take on the role they thought they'd left behind.
Critic reviews
“A smart, disturbing homage to the slasher tradition, reimagined with contemporary teeth. Slasher Summer will stay with you long after the blood dries.”—Daphne Fama, author of House of Monstrous Women
“Slasher Summer is a bloody Valentine love letter to slasher films and asks the question:[IF1] What if the cast of The Breakfast Club ended up in the world of Scream? It’s a terrifying and exhilarating deconstruction of the subgenre that’s chock-full of the devilishly clever easter eggs horror fans love. Chen knows how to bring the blood and the scares, but she also explores the multi-chambered heart of friendship in a way that is both powerful and poignant. I give this one two severed thumbs-up—and a Lynchian severed ear for good measure!”—Ian Rogers, author of Family and Every House Is Haunted
