Trivia
The policeman were played by members of the Dallas Cowboys football team. Craig Morton, D.D. Lewis, Bill Truax, and Calvin Hill (father of NBA all-star Grant Hill) were the big name players who appeared.

Alternate versions
The original version of "Horror High" was given an R rating by the MPAA. When the film was sold to Crown International, they cut some of the gore effects to make the film suitable for a PG rating. Mark Tenser, then president of Crown International, had additional scenes shot to pad out the run time that featured himself as Vernon's absent father, depicting brief events that have almost no connection to the story and do not feature any of the original actors seen in the film.

Twisted Brain Revival!

I am so pleased to see so many people have seen this movie....of course...late night on Elvira or Grimsley. My sister and I used to laugh hysterically at this. I mean with a name like Vernon Potts..you're going to get picked on! We used to say lines from this movie...we knew it word for word!

So now we are in the DVD age and I am looking to replace the really bad and really old VHS copy I made from one of our late night viewings! I need to add this one to my collection.

But on to the film......Everything about it shows the start of teen horror flicks. These guys pioneered the "outcast teenager". This is Carrie, Prom Night......all the horror flicks of the eighties.

I especially like the drawn out interogation of Vernon by the detective. The delays in response, as if they are reading from cue cards, is hysterical.

I really am pleased, like the rest of you, to know that I am not the only one who watched this movie and remembered it all these years.
