Michael Villella Dies: ‘The Slumber Party Massacre’ Actor Was 84
After reportedly suffering multiple organ failure, 'Slumber Party Massacre' actor Michael Villella has died at age 84.
The actor’s daughter Chloe Villella announced her father’s death Saturday on Facebook. Playing power drill-weilding killer Russ Thorn, Michael made his onscreen debut in co-writer/director Amy Holden Jones’ Slumber Party Massacre, which was conceived by co-writer and feminist activist Rita Mae Brown as a slasher parody but was ultimately filmed as a straightforward horror. Michael has also appeared in such films as Love Letters(1983), Gotham(1988) and Wild Orchid(1989), as well as episodes of Amazing Stories and Getting Away with Murder.
