A few years ago, a mysterious serial-killer caused panic on Crippen High School. The killer was never caught. A movie company, Cosmic Pictures, has decided to make a feature movie about these events - on location, at the now abandoned school. Since members of cast and crew disappear without a trace, it seems as if history is repeating itself...
A group of teenagers are stalked by a killer while making a movie at a remote high school. The film blends slasher tropes with meta-commentary on horror filmmaking itself. As the body count rises, the students and crew realize the danger is all too real, blurring the lines between their fictional horror film and their own terrifying reality.
Return to Horror High was a modest release that gained a cult following over time, primarily for its unconventional approach to the slasher genre. While not a critical darling upon release, its blend of humor and horror, along with its self-aware nature, has been appreciated by genre fans. It's often seen as a more unique entry in the late 1980s horror landscape.
