SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its single-night setup turns a seemingly ordinary encounter into an increasingly vicious game, with the same low-budget, pitch-black comic energy and escalating social discomfort as Murder Party.
02
Why this pick
This British splatter-comedy traps an inept, bickering group in a hostile isolated setting, delivering a similarly gleeful mix of absurd personalities, sudden gore, and escalating chaos.
03
Why this pick
A proudly campy, blood-soaked cult comedy centered on performance and artistic spectacle, it matches Murder Party’s affection for eccentric misfits, theatrical violence, and Halloween-season grime.
04
Why this pick
What starts as a bumbling criminal farce veers into nasty backwoods horror, retaining the same pleasure in watching foolish, quarrelsome characters make every situation much worse.
05
Why this pick
Far more hyperactive than Murder Party, but similarly irreverent and genre-aware: a deliberately chaotic horror-comedy with eccentric young characters, sharp tonal swerves, and cult-film energy.

01 / THE STORY
Christopher, a lonely and plain man, finds an invitation to a Halloween costume party entitled "Murder Party", on the street. Constructing a knight costume out of cardboard, he makes his way to Brooklyn to attend the party, only to discover it is actually a trap set by a group of deranged art students. The art students, in costume, include Paul (a gothic vampire), Macon (a werewolf), Sky (a zombie cheerleader), Lexi (Daryl Hannah's replicant character from ''Blade Runner''), and Bill (a Baseball Fury from The Warriors (film)). They intend to commit a murder as a piece of artwork to impress Alexander, their wealthy and sinister patron, in the hopes that they will receive a large arts grant from Alexander. Christopher has brought along a loaf of pumpkin raisin bread, which Sky starts to eat. She then reveals that she is allergic to non-organic raisins, and didn't know about them. The group asks if she'll be OK, and she agrees explaining she's only a little dizzy and needs to sit down, however she falls over and hits her head on some old machinery and dies. The group hides the body, as they are embarrassed and don't want their patron to see it when he arrives. After dumping the body in a deep freezer, Macon blames Christopher for Sky's death and attempts to murder him before Alexander arrives by pouring a jar of acid on him. The acid has no effect as it is only a jar of Acetic Acid (vinegar).
