The Blood Slaughter Massacre Shorts are a series of Faux Trailers, which are viewed in succession and tell the full story of The Ripper. Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been completed. The stories for 1, 2, and 3 were combined to create the Blood Slaughter Massacre feature length film from Mass Grave Pictures.
After screening the series at a short film competition at the Saturday Nightmares convention in New Jersey, the creator of the NYC Horror Film Festival, the late Michael J Hein, spoke with the creators of the Blood Slaughter Massacre trailers. Telling them how much he enjoyed the trailers, he urged them to do a full narrative feature length film, which then prompted Mass Grave Pictures to go into production on the feature a few months later.
Many of the people featured in the Blood Slaughter Massacre shorts returned to work on the feature length film, but only actress, Danielle Lenore, returned to play the same character.
The first in the series was completed and uploaded to YoutTube in June of 2008, by combining camera test shots, and scenes from a different short film that Mass Grave Pictures began shooting, but never completed.
The film features many of the stereotypical horror scenarios that made films of the 80's so wildly popular. A slaughtered party (A Nightmare On Elm Street 2), the girl chased through the woods (Friday The 13th), the babysitter (Halloween), the girl killed in the shower (Psycho) and the party girl and her boyfriend having sex (April Fools Day).
