Trivia:

When released in 1986 the title was changed from "The April Fools" to "Killer Party" because the distributors feared that it would be confused with the film April Fool's Day (1986/I) which was also released around that time.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: Forearm splints visible under Jennifer's sleeves whenever she blocks the blows from wooden beams. Her sleeves also become rolled up at one point when she's posessed, then back down again later to hide the splints.

Evil lurks around campus

This movie for one thing is very low-budget which probably saved it from becoming a really bad movie. At that time (the 80s) slasher movies was the thing. The quality of the movie fits perfectly for the horror flick. An evil spirit lurks inside of a sorority house. The same house I believe a maniac was tortured or killed twenty years before. The spirit possesses a young girl who felt uneasy about pledging at the house. You know the rest one by one each member of the student body gets killed. A cheesy movie if you look at it today,but back then maybe one will enjoy it.
