Night Visitor (1989)

As mentioned in a previous post (here), Night Visitor (1989) was filmed in the same Venice neighborhood as The Slumber Party Massacre (1982).

In Night Visitor, Kelly (the girlfriend of main character Billy) lives in the same house used as Mr. Contant’s house in The Slumber Party Massacre. This house is located right next door to the “slumber party” house.

Billy's House

Lisa's House

On the same street, just one block from the “slumber party” house, is the large blue house used as Billy’s home in Night Visitor. The house to the right of Billy’s was used as his neighbor Lisa’s house. The upstairs window on the left side of Lisa's house is where Billy sees her being murdered by his history teacher.
