Girls Nite Out (1982)

"Girls Nite Out" is another in a line of forgettable, one-off slasher flicks that pretty much flooded theaters throughout the '80s.

It seems a deranged mental patient survived his suicide-by-hanging, has escaped and is prowling around an Ohio college campus in a stolen bear suit, looking for cheerleaders to kill. His weapon: homemade "claws" made out of kitchen knives.

The bulk of this one focuses more on strained relationships and frat boy camaraderie then anything else. Most of the kills (of which, there aren't many) are off screen and the ones that aren't are notably  weak, save for the bear killer's furiously misogynistic rantings while he's offing these ladies. Speaking of which, the fucking costume is incredibly stupid and laughable looking, which definitely  cuts down on any 'menace factor' surrounding this lameass antagonist. As far as the end reveal - it was alright. Easily the most memorable part of this otherwise dull slasher joint. I can't go about recommending "Girls Nite Out" unless you're a seriously all about seeing everything within this particular sub-genre.
