Blood Theater (a.k.a. Movie House Massacre) is an Independent Film Slasher/Horror Comedy. It was the first feature film by director Rick Sloane.
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, face removed by an escalator, decapitated by a projection booth partition, stabbed while a movie is playing on screen, electrocuted in a fountain, 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 Warner's Beverly Hills Theater at 9404 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills. It was demolished in 1989 and the site became a parking lot.
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.
A group of teenagers, including Ellen and Danny, sneak into a movie theater after hours. A masked killer stalks them and then begins killing them. When Jane, Larry and Kyle have a threesome in the bathroom, he beats Kyle to death with a faucet, beheads Larry by slamming his neck into the rim of a metal toilet, and drowns Jane in the sink. Sue goes to look for Larry, her boyfriend, and is violently stabbed by the killer. She escapes and reaches a phone, but the phone's receiver falls apart for seemingly no reason and she dies. Ellen and Danny discover the bodies of their friends before they too are attacked. Danny manages to incapacitate the killer with a movie theater seat before they flee the theater. Ellen and Danny identify their killer as Dean, a local teenager who was dating June, Ellen's twin sister.
Three months later, another eleven teenagers, consisting of Angi, Bethanie, Bobby, Craig, Darryl, Hank, Lisa, Melanie, Zach, and Zariah, as well as June, sneak into the theater to memorialize Kyle, Larry, Jane and Sue. They enter a theater and start watching a film, but Zariah sits away from the others because she is bitter after her breakup with Craig. Meanwhile, Danny drops Ellen off at her house after a date. Late at night, Ellen looks out her bedroom window and sees that Danny's car is still in her driveway. She goes outside and finds the dead body of Danny in his car. Before she can react, she too is killed.
