On this day, January 21, 1983, the cult horror film The House on Sorority Row expanded to major cities, including Los Angeles, after a limited release in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 19, 1982. Directed by Mark Rosman, this slasher classic quickly gained a following for its suspenseful plot, eerie atmosphere, and memorable twists.

The film follows a group of sorority sisters whose prank on their housemother goes tragically wrong, only to find themselves stalked by a mysterious killer during their graduation party. The House on Sorority Row has since become a beloved entry in the 80s slasher genre, known for its chilling scenes and haunting score.
