Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama
8/26/02
I saw this
gem from a far one summer evening. Its cover winked at me
and pulled me aside saying: “C’mon, look at this title, look at this
mediocre cover art of scantily clad young ladies, read this synopsis. I
say try and not rent me, just try.” Needless to say, I succumbed to its
wily charms, and took Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama home
for a couple drinks, some laughs, and maybe a little of the good stuff.
I gently slid this fine videocassette into my VCR; I kicked back,
cracked a beer, and snuggled up close to Sorority Babes in the Slimeball
Bowl-O-Rama.
The movie starts out well enough, a few jackass looking college kids
kickin’ back, guzzlin’ some beers, and lookin’ for some hot action. One
of them knows where a sorority is having initiation of its new members,
and just like I envision all sorority initiations, there’s nudity and
bondage, specifically hot chicks in robes spanking other hot chicks
who’re in their underwear. Then there’s the whipcream shenanigans, after
which a shower is in order. This flick is proving thus far to be one
hell of a date. The three guys sneak into the house for a closer look,
duh, and get caught watching the girls shower. Uh-oh! Now the
leaders
of the sorority, all three of them (apparently, this is the smallest
sorority ever, with 3 members and 2 inductees, but whatever) decide that
the recruits and the 3 pervos have to go to the bowling alley and steal
a trophy to complete the initiation.
This is where the movie gets really good, cause right after they get
to the bowling alley, we meet our good (not to mention hot) friend
Linnea Quigley as the tough, punk rocker hooligan, Spider. Spider is
breaking into the bowling alley to pinch the cash register, and she gets
mixed up in the initiation prank. Now, here’s the Important part of this
movie. They accidentally drop the trophy they’re trying to take and let
loose an imp, voiced by what sounds like a cross between an old pimp
and Tim Meadows’ impersonation of Ike Turner. He sounds like a good guy
to begin with, granting the kids wishes, but he turns out to be evil,
(shocker!) and their merry prank goes awry. All the wishes backfire,
and the killing ensues. The sorority sisters have followed them to the
alley and are planning on playing tricks on them, but they get corrupted
by the imp and help with the killing. Thankfully, most of the killing
involves sex, bondage, or other really neat uses of bowling alley
equipment, fryers and the like. There’s even an old custodian with a
hearing problem that explains the legend of the imp and tells Spider and one
of the dorkier dorks how to take care of the imp.
I bought this flick for 2 dollars, and it was worth every penny. The
imp is a terrible looking puppet with a ridiculous voice and horrible
jokes, and he refers to himself as “Uncle Impy.” Who the fuck would be
intimidated by a bad puppet that would self-apply a moniker that
stupid? Linnea Quigley sure as fuck isn’t! Watching her dressed in
bondage
gear kickin ass was good enough, but this movie delivers on every
level. It has everything that a bad horror fan could want: cheap naked
girls, made in the eighties, dominatrix villainy, bad effects, a dominatrix
heroine, a stupid title, Linnea Quigley, and cheap naked girls.
Anyone looking to make a bad horror movie could learn a thing or two
from Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, and anyone looking for
great movie should not over look this cult classic. This movie will
bring back fond memories of the USA networks “Up All Night,” and spawn
fond memories for years to come.
