Don't Take A Bath In An Abandoned Building (Slaughter High - 1985)

Ep. 46
•

Originally titled April Fool's Day (though not to be confused with several other horror films of the same name), Slaughter High is the story of a high school reunion gone awry when a bullied classmate takes his revenge on his tormentors. Join Juliet and Theresa to talk about this classic 80s slasher and its extraordinary kills, the benefits of back to school season for Virgos, and why it's probably not the best idea to bathe in an abandoned building.


Content warnings: conversations about bullying throughout, a brief mention of self harm
