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.

The film was produced by Roger Corman and lensed by Jim Wynorski.[1]

The DVD was released on March 25, 2003. The special features include trailers, actor bios, audio commentaries, and a making of featurette.
