I really liked Hide and Go Shriek... It was very entertaining and scary! See it if you are a horror fan! Slasher films around the late 80's were cheesy anyway...but this one stands out. The only thing that was weird was the killer...
Some friends spend the night in a furniture store one of their parents owns and are stalked and killed by a killer who likes to dress up as the victims they've just killed.
You have to admire a movie that features a killer with a flair for playing dress up. It's also nice that the characters in this movie aren't complete idiots. The minute they realize someone's killing their friends, they stick together and fight the killer together. It does lessen some of the suspense and leaves the body count a little low by slasher standards, but I liked the guts it took to stick by that choice.

Initially this appears to be the usual slasher formula of high schoolers sneaking into a furniture store to party throughout the night. Someone else is in the store killing the kids one by one. I won't give anything else away. There is a red herring, but this film is notable for giving a plot twist as we discover who the killer is and why they are doing what they are doing. All things considered I really enjoyed this film. It doesn't get remembered as much when 80's slashers are discussed. If you love horror films, go see this.
Hide and go shriek is an 80s slasher about some teen's having a sleepover in a furinture store.
I love the furniture store setting, i wish there were more horror movies set there.
The kills are good. And the acting is good.
There is some flawes as that it doesn't seem like they care about their friends dying, or how stupid the characters are, but that's a problem in most slashers.
So overall a suprisingly good slasher and i recommend watching it.

A must see! if you want to watch a movie with false scares, creepy environment, creepy music, and entertaining death sequences, then
"Hide and Go Shriek" is the perfect movie.
The flaws about this movie are bad actors, and a boring plot (8 teens stay in a place and get stalked and killed by someone). This movie is different from others because we get to know the killer at the end, and BELIEVE ME, it will be scary.
This movie will sure give you the creeps...
