What format is Slumber Party Massacre?
I was thinking of picking up Slumber Party Massacre (not to be confused with Sorority House Massacre). Alright, I know its a stupid movie and all, but there in lies its charm - I have a certain affinity for bad '80s slasher movies in the Friday the 13th vein. Anyway, I've been trying to determine what format its in, widescreen or fullscreen. It was originally shot in 1.85:1 widescreen, but the fact that it's an ultra-low-budget DVD makes me think its probably presented 1.33:1 probably using the same video transfer as the VHS and Laserdiscs of the past. None of the websites I checked seemed to answer the question, and the info is mysteriously absent from the DVD cover. Does anyone have this DVD and can verify its aspect ratio for me?

Yeah, I wasn't holding my breath for it being anamorphic, but I'd be glad if it's at least in its proper aspect ratio. But can you verify this for sure eiker_ir? DeepDiscountDVD has it listed as being Fullframe. Does anyone out there in DVDTalk land own the actual DVD and can tell me definitively?

One other thing. I just noticed that there is also a Double Feature DVD with SPM 1 & 2. Is this the same transfer as the stand-alone SPM 1? Are either versions in WS? Need some help.

i've checked 3 sites and all say that it's non-anamorphic widescreen like i said before.
the second one is in 1.33:1
i dont know about the duble feature, but my guess is that is just the two regular dvds in one package.
