Back to Ghoul: High School Horror Movies

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some high school horror movies into the ol’ VCR.

Friends, summer is finally coming to an end, which fortunately means that spooky season isn’t far behind. To help ease the pain of school restarting, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite high school horror movies for your eviscerated education, if you will.

Now, I know we previously discussed some shows and movies that would fit the bill, but we’re shaking it up with some straight slashers. Grab your backpacks, pencils, and library card for when you’ll have to dig through old microfiche to solve a mystery.

Cry Wolf: I could see the kids at Chilton playing this behind the scenes.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later: Starring Josh Hartnett’s infamously bad haircut

Final Destination: It’s the John Denver playing in the background for me.

Freaky: Let’s remake this with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan but with Jamie Lee Curtis playing Laurie Strode.

The Faculty: Are we ever going to talk about how Famke Janssen’s head CAME OFF and then she was fine?

Maybe this haircut is meant to be a defense mechanism like those spiky vests they put on tiny dogs.

Dance of the Dead: This still looks like more fun than the dances I went to in school.

Prom Night (1980): How many other horror movies can say they have their own disco number?

Student Bodies: If Leslie Nielsen wrote Scream.

Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): I have insomnia. Your move, Freddy.

Tamara: I’m the leader of the #JusticeforTamara fan club.

I know I’m over 30 because the last time I watched this all I could think about is how diminished the property value would be after all the damages, like melted stairs.
