"How about we watch a horror movie to cheer you up," you say as you lean over Raven.

You give her a kiss on the head and she chuckles.

"In that case," Raven says as she takes the remote.

Raven goes to the search function and types in "Slumber Party Massacre."

"Oh good, the original is on here," Raven says as she selects the 1982 film.

"Oh ha ha, I get it," Jinx says. "We're staying over so you're gonna make us watch a slasher about a slumber party with a stalker."

"This is a slumber party?" Raven says. "Not if the boys are around."

"And isn't this movie Rated R?" Robin asks.

"You gonna tell on us?" Raven smirks.

"N-No...!" Robin says nervously.

Raven selects the movie and it begins.

Early morning in suburban Venice, Los Angeles, California. A paperboy bikes through the neighborhood. The headline is pretty straightforward, a serial killer named Russ Thorn is on the loose. 18-year-old high school senior, Trish Deveraux, wakes up and dresses, full view of the window and there's nudity already.

"Wow, two minutes in," you say while sitting down right next to Raven.

"Awesome...!" Beast Boy says, eyes wide as he leans against the back of the couch.

Trish packs up some toys, those she's grown past. But she does hold on to her favorite plush sheep dog. Her mother calls, her and Mr. Deveraux are heading out. Trish heads downstairs just as the radio also reports of Thorn's release, and the horrible crime of five victims at once, all in Venice, LA.

Mr. & Mrs. Deveraux finish packing and Mrs. Deveraux makes sure she has everything she needs. Trish promises everything will be fine while they're away. Mrs. Deveraux knows, but still has their neighbor, Mr. Contant, keep an eye on things. And Mr. Contant promises the girls won't get up to any trouble. Trish is not happy about that, though. Mrs. Deveraux wants Trish to lock the doors and windows but Trish brushes it off like she's just being babied. Trish then throws away her old toys and heads to school. But someone takes her Barbie...

Cut to school, senior boys, Jeff and Neil, discuss what girls to ask out. Maybe hte new girl? Valerie seems a bit intimidating to Jeff. Jeff and Neil then peep on the lady electrician, and Neil does his best to flirt with her. Would she consider dating a younger man? She hasn't thought about it. Jeff stops Neil there and they move on. But then sadly, she's the first victim! Her van is so soundproofed no one hears her screaming for help! The killer uses the power drill!

"Oh no!" Starfire says as blood splatters against the walls, but nothing else is shown.

Cut again to a girls Phys. Ed. class. They're playing basketball, all in brightly colored short shorts. Trish's team is in all blue, up against the girls in white shirts and yellow shorts. Diane gets isolated, passes to Trish, and the boys are watching. The ball is passed around, but Jackie makes a bad shot. Blue team hussles, Valerie is on the yellow shorts team. She passes inside, that girl passes back out, then back to Valerie. Valerie makes a lay-up. Trish's team grumbles that Valerie's some kinda teacher's pet.

But on the blue team's possession, Diane solos to score! Teacher says this is the last week for baseketball, next week begins baseball. Hit the showers!

"Wow...!" Beast Boy says again as the girls in fact do shower.

The girls talk about sports, the strong and attractive men that play. Trish invites girls over to a sleepover. Jackie gets razzed on for messing up the play, and there's a staredown between Trish and Valerie. Trish compliments Valerie on her playing, then talks with the others about inviting Valerie. And no boys. Well, that part isn't as fun.

The discussion continues as the girls dress. Diane might just be jealous of Valerie's height, skills and looks, but Trish just calls her a snob. Well only the best people are. And of course Valerie can hear all of this. Trish still wants to invite her, but Valerie turns her down. And Trish puts it together, she overheard them.

Jeff and Neil talk with the girls, but Trish points out that the boys can't come over. They're all being watched by Thorn... The rest of the group goes on ahead as Linda has to double back for something she forgot. Trish says she secured "provisions" for the party, and the boys joke that's code for drugs.

Linda returns to the locker room, and the teacher warns her things are locking up for the day. The teacher passes by the van, Thorn's not in it...

"Linda no!" Starfire says. "Linda, you must the get out now!"

"Shh, Star, wait," Raven says.

But as Linda tries to find a door the janitors haven't locked up, she doubles back again, to the door with grafitti. It's also locked, and there's the killer! He stalks up behind her, armed with the power drill! Linda sees him in time, only gets hit in the arm, and the chase is on! She uses what she can to block his path, then she snakes through the locker room to hide in a closet. Thorn hunts through the aisles, passes by the closet, and goes to the showers.

Linda is hiding under a desk in the faculty room, but there's a window Thorn peers through. He doesn't see her, and goes to the shower stalls. Unfortunately, Linda is bleeding badly, so she needs to patch herself up. She grabs for a towel on the desk, brings it down without a sound, and Thorn moves on. But Linda's blood has dripped out under the door! The door is locked, but that doesn't matter to a power drill! Linda screams, but there's no one to hear her.

"Welp, two down," Raven says.

"Well, for being a slasher, this isn't quite as gory as expected," Jinx says.

Diane is walking home, someone is stalking her. She leans down to check her shoe, he reaches out, and she throws him down!

"John Miner," Diane says, "what do you think you're doing, scaring me to death like that?"

"I won't try it again, that's for sure," John says as she helps him up.

John asks about the slumber party, Diane says it's no boys allowed. For old time's sake, y'know. Well she can get out of it, right? Maybe. She promises to see him later and continues on.

The PE teacher arrives home, fiddles with her keys, but almost gets hit by a drill! It was her handywoman putting in a peep hole but that was a close one. The phone repairman stopped by, the van is down the street. Foreshadowing...

Trish talks with Diane on the phone. Obviousy Diane brings up John and Trish says her mom would be upset if John was in the house. But they'll worry about it later. Trish hears a noise, excuses herself from the phone call, and does in fact do what her mother told her in locking the door and windows. Trish then turns on some lamps and plays the piano. But the camera moves upstairs, because someone IS in the house! Trish goes to the door, struggles to unlock it, but it's Mr. Contant! He apologizes for scaring her. Trish apologizes for being scared, being alone was more unsettling than she realized.

Back to the teacher, now she's the one hearing strange noises. and she ends up spilling her glass of wine. She picks up the glass shards carefully, but then hears the strange noise again. She goes looking and the music is ominous. She held onto a piece of glass as a makeshift weapon.

"Oooh, smart move there," Argent says quickly and quietly.

The teacher hears something from behind a door. She opens it, and it's her cat! She apologizes to "Muffin" and cuddles with it.
