Behind the scenes of Sorority Row
Check out some photos of makeup FX artist Gino Crognale on the set of Sorority Row. (May spoil some of the death scenes if you’re hoping for surprises in the cinema). Plot, such as it is, follows …
A group of sorority sisters try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked by a serial killer. It stars Rumer Willis, Briana Evigan, Leah Pipes, Jamie Chung, Margo Harshman, Audrina Partridge and Carrie Fisher.

Great example of horror/exploitation movie art from 1988, which also graced the VHS cover and was no doubt gazed at in many pre-Blockbuster video shops by young impressionables like myself.
The 80s were the glory days of horror art, when everything was hand-drawn (wistful sigh) and not cobbled together in five minutes on Photoshop by, erm, not-so-young impressionables like myself. Likewise, exploitation was something to be, well, expoloited.
As if the sexploitation of the concept and artwork wasn’t enough here, they manage to shoehorn a classic bit of clueless white-frat-boys-impersonate-Run-DMC mid-eighties rapsploitation, halfway through the trailer. Look upon thy works America, and despair:
