Synopsis

This killer comedy is every teenage horror film you've ever seen, taken to the farthest extreme of laughter. The screams are as frequent as the giggles as a crazed murderer terrorizes Lamab High. But the senior class is not going to take it lying down. Dodging such lethal weapons as paper clips and blackboard erasers, they set about confronting the mysterious "Breather" and other things that go bump in the night. No one is safe from the hilarious twists and turns of the madcap plot, least of all the student bodies themselves. Football games, pep rallies, and senior proms provide background for a romp that leaves no satirical possibility unexplored.
