Pre-viewed for quality and played great on my Sony vcr deck. Duplicated in the superior Standard Play mode, beware of other offers in the inferior ep mode. Everything is nice and clean.

Box still has nice color, light shelf wear around the bottom edges with a small crease on the bottom mid-cover (see photo). Has a small sticker shadow on the bottom left spine and top endflap. Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being produced.

Heres how the characters get knocked off by a slasher in high school:

A teacher gets a fireaxe through the brain.

An art teacher is baked alive in his kiln.

A gym instructor is pinioned with a U.S. flag pole.

A vice principal is strangled with her face against a Xerox machine.

A teenager has his throat mundanely cut open with a knife.

It's the usual body count with the usual suspects:

Brian (Donovan Leitch), a confused, "new wave" look guy who had undergone shock treatments in a mental hospital and sneeks around on a bicycle.

Dwight (Brad Pitt in his second feature), an irresponsible, hot-headed, beer drinking basketball player who claims "I don't get mad, I get even!"

Or maybe it's the weird janitor.

Dwight's girlfriend (Jill Schoelen, from the film 'Stepfather') has to decide who the killer is in time and a running joke is her dad (Martin Mull), left for dead while hunting, trying to crawl home. With Roddy McDowall as a perverted principal, Brenda Lynne Klemme (red haired friend) and Dirk Blocker son of Dan (Hoss of 'Bonanza' TV series) as a gym teacher.

The leads are all very good (especially for a "slasher" movie). There's not a lot of blood and no full nudity but the camera seems to linger on Schoelen's butt a lot. Director debut of Rospo Pallenberg who wrote 'Excalibur' and the 'Emerald Forest'. Three soundtrack songs are by Wall of Voodoo.
