This answer is no, but the end scene where Marty was dressed up like the nurse was similar in style to how The Joker dressed up like the nurse to talk to Harvey Dent. Maybe a nice homage to this forgotten slasher? One can only hope.

It's forgotten because it's terrible. Worst movie, I ever saw. It was so bad, the actor who played Marty killed himself shortly after because it was such an abomination.
shareHmm, worst movie ever? It's apparent that you have not witnessed the atrocity that is Strange Wilderness or The Heartbreak kid.
Slaughter High is not a good movie. It's a fun and campy movie that will never be praised for being "good", but it's an entertaining way to spend an Hour and a half.

Slaughter High is awesome and hysterical...and best watched in good company.
shareI like "Slaughter High" in a cult horror sense.
Far from the worst. If you want the worst, check out SyFy channel weekend movies. "Kraken : Tentacles Of The Deep" makes "Slaughter High" look like "West Side Story".

^Are you *beep* kidding me. Even if you don't find Strange Wilderness or The Heartbreak Kid to be good, you'd be crazy to say they're worse than this abysmal film. If those movies are "bad" than this movie is just on a different level of awfulness then.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.
Different times. Bad is subjective, but at least 'Slaughter High' knew what it was before going in; a cheap slasher. 'Heartbreak Kid' is just like every other Ben Stiller comedy, but it became unbearable at the halfway mark. 'Strange Wilderness' had no coherency other than the "Let's Find Bigfoot" plot, and just had stale jokes that went nowhere.
With 'Slaughter High' I got exactly what I wanted out of it. Nudity, Violence, and hilarity. I never watch slasher movies with the intent of finding some great film. I watch cheap slashers with the same mentality that I watch 50's monster movies, or 70's exploitation films with. They may be bad, but I feel they're made with more heart than either of the aforementioned attempts at comedy.
Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds. - Suspiria (1977)
I actually like this movie. It still manages to creep me out just a little. But I'm not arguing; it definitely is a terrible movie.
shareI promise you that unless you have seen '2 Gs and a Key' you haven't seen the worst film ever. See if you can download it (trust me the filmmakers don't deserve your money) and at least watch 20 mins or so. It's worth seeing if only to inform you of how far down it is to the floor of the cinematic well.
There are undoubtedly other films as bad as 2 Gs, mostly from the same genre of ultra cheap gangs in the hood movies (trust me, the dire one's starring Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg are as good as this pitifull genre gets), but they can't be worse as this is as bad as filmmaking can possibly get.

I watched it again after 20 years last night. And it was one of those horror cliche crappy films but it was creepy and somewhat fun. I thought it was funny that during the sex scene it ripped music right out Friday the 13th.
I don't think Dark Knight ripped it off but the novel "Valentine" took the basic story from it. Unless Valentine was published first which I don't think it was.

The Dark Knight totally ripped off this movie. Like how the main antagonist died of a possibly intentional overdose right after filming - yeah, I'd say Heath Ledger just wanted to copy Marty.

That is one of stupdiest things I ever heard ShotgunHemingway!
shareShort answer... probably not
The same trick was used at the end of Dressed to Kill, which is probably where Slaughter High ripped it off from.
"I've made over 100 films, sir. How many have you made?"
"One GOOD one."
I think TDK ripped off "Slaughter High" and superhero movies suck anyway.

Some Superhero movies don't really suck and TDK didn't ripped off Slaughter High that's just plain stupid!
shareProbably not an homage or anything- dressing up like a nurse is something that the Joker is just likely to do, and probably has done several times in various Batman stories.
(As for the worst movie ever made, that was Ang Lee's "Hulk.")
When I saw The Dark Knight in theaters back in 2008, that's exactly what I was thinking. For the rest of the night, that's all I could think of.
I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands!
There's a similar nurse sight gag in a 1987 episode of MacGyver called Partners.
