Here's a description of The Slaughter from the MySpace SF Indie Fest page: "In an old school camp-o-rama bloodfest, IndieFest alumnus Jay Lee (Noon Blue Apples, The Affairs of God), returns to San Francisco and slashes, drowns, spears, rips, squishes and burns people in The Slaughter. With his tongue so firmly in cheek that it nearly rips a hole, Lee delivers a perfectly pitched horror-comedy romp that never takes the easy road, and respects both the audience, the characters, the zombies and the Demon. ¶ When six college students take a job cleaning up an abandoned house their plans are to work hard by day, and play hard by night. However, their careful planning is disrupted when they discover and ancient Tome and (wouldn't you know it) awake Cthulha, an ancient female demon. ¶ A turn of the century ritual to raise the feminine evil goes horribly awry and leaves a she-demon dormant on the ceremonial grounds waiting for the conclusion of the arcane ceremony. Sixty years later a young couple moves into a house built on the ancient grounds and their young daughter's murder leaves the house abandoned for yet another forty years (and fulfills the next part of the ritual). Now, six college students are hired to clean up the house for a greedy real estate mogul and his hemchwoman who plan to sell it for a huge profit. When they unwittingly complete the century long ritual and fully awake the demon from her ancient slumber, it is literally Hell on Earth - and only the ultimate sacrifice can save the world from a future of unspeakable evil."
