Somewhere between Slumber Party Massacre and Club Dread... WITH BEETLEJUICE!

Warning: Spoilers
I'll admit that I originally decided to watch "Girls Gone Dead" because Sal and Beetlejuice of The Howard Stern Show fame are in it, and I've been BIG FAN of the show and especially Beet since adolescence. For what it is, this movie is actually pretty well done, and of course, entertaining. The cast is outrageous, and in addition to the Stern favorites mentioned above, professional wrestler Jerry Lawler and the legendary Ron Jeremey are both in it as well.

A group of girls get together to spend spring break at one of their parents' summer home, and proceed to get wasted, meet a group of guys, run into a stalker ex, and get killed off one by one. The gore is plentiful, with the slayings at the mansion where the massive spring break filming party is taking place being among the best. The movie is also propelled along by the massive amount of eye candy, with almost every scene featuring girls in swimwear or topless. The reveal of the killer, the motive, and the overall blatant anti-religious message is pretty humorous as well.

Of course, this is no masterpiece of cinema, but it isn't trying to be. I like that while never taking itself seriously, it still comes off as a watchable homage to the golden age of slasher flicks. Throw this one on with a group of friends, it's a lot of fun.
