    • Trivia
      Final theatrical feature film directed by writer-director Ken Hughes.
    • Goofs
      When the second girl is being killed, after changing out of her scuba suit, her lips don't match her words several times during the attack.
    • Quotes

      Stevie Cabot: How do you want your eggs?

      Judd Austin: Cooked.

    • Alternate versions
      The film appeared (as "Terror Eyes") on the UK's list of video nasties. Both the cinema and 1987 Guild Home Video releases were cut by 1 minute 16 secs by the BBFC to heavily reduce the gore and shots of slashing during the changing room and café murders.

    Excellent American giallo

    Night School is an excellent, stylish American giallo with terrific set pieces and great use of Boston locations.

    Several coeds are being murdered with their severed heads found in submerged in water and the detectives believe a sleazy professor is behind it. Add in a jealous lover, a predatory lesbian headmistress, and a whole lot of slashing and we have ourselves a grand ol' time.

    Night School might just be a perfect mix of sleaze and class. It's hard to believe the same man made Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Brad Fidel's spooky, somber score sets the mood perfectly and helps it stand out among the pack.
