This corny 80’s horror flick has a film company (Cosmic Pictures) shooting a movie at an abandoned high school, Crippen High, where a series of brutal unsolved murders had taken place in 1982.
Cast and crew members begin disappearing, and it seems the events that took place years before are repeating themselves.
A young George Clooney plays a film cast member in his feature film debut (he’s on-screen for about five minutes), and Maureen McCormick (who famously played Marcia on The Brady Bunch) appears as a female cop. Vince Edwards (Ben Casey) is a mean, lecherous biology teacher named Richard Bimbaum.
There is abundant fake blood, campy murder sequences, and mediocre acting. The horror isn’t remotely scary, and there is very little humour for a purported horror spoof.
At least it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
