Night School (1981)
Pull that severed head out of the aquarium and grab a pomegranate to take with you into the shower (seriously) because we're discussing Ken Hughes' Boston-set slasher Night School (1981)!
Join us as we go all in on this forgotten film, from its original title of Terror Eyes (get it?) to its notorious status as a video nasty. And on top of everything, it's got a predatory lesbian character to boot!
Plus: lauding that "is the head in the pot?" diner sequence, wondering why no one gets killed at the titular school, and debating whether or not the killer's M.O. counts as cultural appropriation (spoiler alert: it does).
Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on BlueSky, Instagram, Youtube, Letterboxd, Facebook, or join the Facebook Group or the Horror Queers Discord to get in touch with other listeners.
