In the early 1980s, a series of gruesome murders occurred at Crippen High School. The killer was never apprehended. A few years later, a film crew uses the now-abandoned Crippen High as the set for a film about the murders. But an uninvited guest star -- the killer the film is based on -- makes a cameo appearance on the set. As the murderous madman terrorizes the cast and crew, leading man Steven Blake and leading lady Callie Cassidy set out to stop him.

The problem is that the premise, once compromised by an inadequate director, inept actors, horrific dialogue, and a host of other problems, is unable to rise to the surface. It sinks in the muck, leaving behind only a vague trace of what might have been.

The premise is admittedly pretty crafty, but other than that two-minute distraction, Return to Horror High is certainly no great shake.

Is this a horror movie or a April Fools Prank? And there's no connection/sequel of original 1974 Horror High.
