Bikini Bloodbath is a 2007 comedy film that parodies the horror-slasher movies of the 1980s. Written and directed by Thomas Edward Seymour and Jonathan Gorman, the film focuses on a high school girls’ volleyball team that plans to host an end-of-semester party. Two members of the boys’ football team crash the party, but problems begin when the maniacal Chef Death, a serial killer who wields meat cleavers and culinary one-liners, interrupts the proceedings by slaying the partygoers. Shot on locations across Connecticut in 2005, Bikini Bloodbath was planned as the first in an ongoing horror/comedy series. The film was released on DVD in December 2007, and its sequels – Bikini Bloodbath Car Wash and Bikini Bloodbath Christmas – have already been filmed and are being prepared for release in late 2008. Co-director Seymour cited the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy for the inspiration of creating back-to-back films. Additional films in the Bikini Bloodbath series are being planned. Debbie Rochon stars in all three films as a lesbian volleyball coach.
