Blood Theater (a.k.a. Movie House Massacre) is an Independent Film Slasher/Horror Comedy that doesn't take itself seriously and is often thought of as a spoof. It was the first feature for director Rick Sloane who was 21 at the time of its making.
Cult star Mary Woronov plays the evil assistant owner of the theater chain. This was one of the very first direct to video releases. Sloane would later go on to direct Hobgoblins and Vice Academy.
The film includes many bizarre movie theater related deaths, such as being fried inside a popcorn machine, stabbed in the ticket booth, electrocuted by a film projector, decapitated by a projection booth partition, stabbed while a movie is playing on screen, smoke inhalation from burning film and a telephone receiver which breaks apart while a dying girl screams hysterically into it.
The majority of the movie was shot at the historic Beverly Warner Theater in Beverly Hills, which was also a location in the film Xanadu. It was later demolished and the site became a bank building.
All the movies which play at the Spotlite Theater Multiplex in this film, were short films made by Rick Sloane while he attended Los Angeles City College. They include Clown Whores of Hollywood, Chainsaw Chicks, Amputee Hookers and Nightmare Of The Lost Whores.
