what was the ending?
I'm curious to know because I like learning about shocking ends to films.
share*******SPOILER ALERT!*******
The killer turns out to be "Katie Cavanaugh" who is "Barney's" twin sister and she kind of preserved her twin brother's cadaver. I find the ending to be very disturbing. The final image scares me.
I heard that it was similar in shock value as the ending to Sleepaway Camp and that was very scary.
shareNot sure if I'd say it was the same shock value as SC, but it's a very creepy image.
No pulse, no heartbeat. If condition does not change, this man is dead.share
The ending is interesting,but nonsense. I wish the rest of the movie would have actually had half the intrigue as the weird ending.

This reminds me of back in the day, when slasher films had good endings to them instead of some lame ending where the killer gets caught or he kills someone and walks off-screen, leaving about five other characters alve.
shareI still don't get the ending? If Katie is Barney's twin then why didn't Barney mention anything about the brother Dickie hanging himself? Plus Barney is all jolly through the whole film? and when those lads at the party are talking about Dickie they didn't mention anything about his sisters. A crappy ending to a good little slasher film.
share-SPOILER-
The poster who originally explained the end is incorrect. They said that "Katie" is "Barney's" sister. But in actuality, "Katie" IS "Barney".
Years ago, Dickie Cavanaugh was locked up for killing his girlfriend (as far as I remember, or something)...He goes to the loony bin. Meanwhile, Dickie's sister Katie is under the alias of 'Barney', the school cook, (probably not wanting to have people know she is the sister of famed killer Dickie Cavanaugh).
What we learn is that, Dickie, who actually DID commit suicide at the beginning, was innocent of the original murder. Katie (aka, BARNEY) was the original murderer, but he covered for her. Now, she steals the body from the gravediggers or such, and keeps him in the freezer, using Dickie as a cover-up for her murderous rampage. It was Katie/Barney all along. They are the same person.
Also, I have to add: 2.6/10? WTF? Girls Nite Out may not be a masterpiece, but it is one of the finer slasher flicks out there. Just cuz a bear mascot costume looks a little silly, doesn't mean this movie sucks. I love it.

2.6/10 is pretty low. One of the finer slashers? I wouldn't go that far - it's entertaining enough and with some likable actors and a fun twist. And technically, it's definitely more competent that The Forest (1982), which right now has an average of 2.7...
shareWell I'm glad someone explained that Katie and the food lady were the same person because I missed that entirely. She just didn't look the same to me and that hilarious moment where Hal Holbrook draws long curly hair around the picture of Dickie was of no help whatsoever in recognizing the killer.
shareThere was also that part where someone talks about how Dickie had lost his mind when he was taken into the woods one night - I think possibly as part of a scavenger hunt. That coupled with being dumped by his girlfriend would have presumably caused his madness, even though he wasn't the one who killed her as you say.
