DEATHS
Can somebody please explain all the deaths in the movie im having great difficulty finding it on dvd heck even video i would be greatful thanks
*WARNING: SPOILERS!*
Marty gets splashed with acid in the face. He doesn't die, but it sure is gross and worth mentioning.
1. Digby (the janitor/caretaker): head impaled on a coat hook and hands nailed to the door.
2. Ted: drinks poisoned beer, causing his intestines to spill out and his stomach to explode. (NASTY!)
3. Carl: impaled with javelin through car seat.
4. Shirley: bathtub fills up with acid while she's bathing. Her flesh is completely burnt off, leaving only her skeleton left. Also NASTY!! See, she takes a bath because Ted's blood splatters all over her, and causes her to go a little coo-coo. But don't ask me why there's a BATHTUB in a school. That's beyond explanation.
4. Susan: walks down a hallway and sees Marty standing in a doorway. She walks up closer and discovers it's a large picture of Marty pasted on a door. Suddenly, two arms burst out of the picture and grab her. She's killed off screen (dumb but creepy!).
5. Joe: pinned under tractor, forearms slashed with knife, and stomach shredded by the fan thing on the undercarriage.
6. Stella: while having sex with Frank, she grabs the steel bedposts and gets electrocuted (evidentially they were hooked up to jumper cables).
7. Frank: well, he jumps off of Stella while she's getting electrocuted, and that's the last he's seen alive. They never really specify if that killed him, or showed his dead body for that matter. And no, he's not the killer.
8. Nancy: drowned in a pit of sewage outside the school (Again, don't ask me why there just happened to be a pit of sewage by the school).
9. Skip: lynched with noose, but he gets himself down. Then Carol accidentally hits him in the face with a fire axe, mistaking him for Marty.
10. Carol: impaled in stomach with javelin.
11. Nurse (uncredited): killed offscreen.
12. Doctor (uncredited): impaled in the eye with a syringe.
The film has some fantastic special splatter FX, most of them unforgettable. Very impressive considering the low budget.
SCROLL DOWN TO HEAR THE "SURPRISE" ENDING:
*WARNING: HUGE MAJOR GIGANTIC SPOILER!!!
It turns out the "5 years later" part was a dream Marty had in the hospital after the accident. When he wakes up, he's pissed and rips his face off. Why some people find it puzzling is beyond me.
Wow, I haven't seen this movie in SO long but remember it like it was yesterday thanks to Cameo. I remember when I was real young, I had a bedroom in the basement and one night after watching this movie late on TV, going downstairs and getting freaked out by the shadow of a mini x-mas tree we had. I was sure that it was Marty in his hat. Ran to my room and laid in bed afraid to move. I also remember my mom trying to ban this movie from us kids because of a semi-gratuitous genital shot when Marty was being harassed in the bathroom. I dont remember it being that bad but you know how moms can be.
I'd love to see it again, but unfortunately, the good ol video stores are disappearing at an alarming rate and this movie simply can not be found near me.
Thanks Cameo

Actually, the humiliation scene in this flick is pretty graphic as far as male nudity goes. The overhead shot as they dunk Marty in the toilet is especially eye-opening.

Carl: I woun't be sure if that was a Javelin, it could've been either a Steel Pole, the Javelin that you mentioned or something else, it's does look like a "____" knife ("___" specific type of knife).
Joe: Forearms slashed with a Pocket Knife
Skip: Was hanged, but was killed by a Hatchet by accident

Glad somebody thinks so. Because I just watched this and literally fast-fwdd through most of it - except for 1 or 2 of the death scenes, it all was so embarrassingly forgettable and bad.
Even Terror Train was better than this. And the 1st end-scene, with Marty walking through the foggy room; the murdered group members popping up, one by one... giggling, laughing, etc was almost eye-roll.
I've seen better Halloween special FX theatrics at a local spook-house.
