It's a silly little forgotten slasher flick, but damnit, I had fun with it! There was something about the mix of likeable characters and the music that just did it for me. And the furry killer is the stuff that today's Five Nights at Freddy's fans could probably even enjoy. I'll definitely give this one another spin.

This one is pretty generic as far as 80s slashers go but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Primarily because the idea of a killer in a mascot bear costume is on the loose during a scavenger hunt is really cool. Unfortunately, it takes a while to get there and there's just too much unnecessary partying scene. Not to mention the kills and gore are average at best, although there's a few parts that I liked. I couldn't guess who the killer is and the mystery surrounding it make this film more than watchable, so that's a plus. The one who plays Teddy is also really cute and I wasn't expecting the amount of male flesh this film has. Overall, it's certainly not the best slashers out there but it's also not the worst.

Nothing makes me more mad in these old slashers than the “comic relief” and there’s way too much in this one. In the first 20 minutes almost any word a guy says is some shitty impression or “funny” voice or some prolonged bit that never ends. Almost made me turn off the movie. The bodies couldn’t start piling up fast enough.

The first 45 minutes I was bored and didn't care about any of these characters and their relationships being set up, and honestly there were a few I couldn't distinguish from others. The remaining 40-minutes had a couple okay kills but I found myself zoning out a time or two. This is just another forgettable (and bland) slasher film to come out of the early 80s. **1.5/5**

**_College campus slasher with the slayer in a goofy bear costume_** At a college in Westerville, Ohio, bodies start mounting up during an all-night scavenger hunt for the female students in which the killer is dressed in the mascot costume. Hal Holbrook is on hand as the chief security guard. “Girls Nite Out” (1982) is a slasher in the mold of "Final Exam" and "Happy Birthday to Me" from the year prior, which were two of the first slashers to take place at a college campus (or prep school in the latter case), not counting "Black Christmas" (1974), which focused on a sorority house. The milieu is similar to the contemporaneous "Pieces,” a Euro-slasher. These flicks paved the way for college slashers of the future, such as the "Urban Legends" trilogy (1998, 2000 & 2005). The production values are superior to “Final Exam” and about on par with, say, “Silent Night, Bloody Night” (1972). The no-name cast are surprisingly good with zesty performances, verging on over-the-top, which I chalked up to youthful enthusiasm after winning a big basketball game. The female cast is fine (for example, Julia Montgomery as Lynn and Suzanne Barnes as Dawn), but the director evidently didn’t know how to shoot women (not talkin’ ’bout nudity or sleaze). Despite being a bit obscure, this is a decent early 80’s slasher. But, for some strange reason, the story didn’t pull me in, like with the other ones mentioned. I also had a hard time distinguishing some of the key characters. It’s okay, though, and certainly worth checking out for aficionados of the genre. The film runs 1 hour, 36 minutes, and was shot at Upsala College, East Orange, New Jersey, and Dobbs Ferry, New York. GRADE: B-/C+
