Production
The film was originally shot as Slumber Party Massacre 4 and contained various links to the first film, even having Brinke Stevens reprise her role as Linda Dawn Grant. However, production company New Concorde felt that there had been too many sequels to the Slumber Party series. The title was then changed to Cheerleader Massacre and character names, plus backstories, was altered so the film could become a standalone feature[2]
Sequel
The film was followed by a very loose sequel named Cheerleader Massacre 2 in 2011.[3]
