Laura, played very briefly by Ruth Ann Llorens (The Comeback Kid) is a talented high school track runner who meets her demise during a race, where she collapses and dies on the spot in front of her whole school (how embarrassing! Even more so due to the fact she won!) Fingers are immediately pointed towards Coach Michaels, played by the ever charming Christopher George (City of the Living Dead, The Exterminator) because he is a determined and often ruthless son of a gun! A couple of months pass and Laura’s sister Anne, played by Patch Mackenzie (Serial, It’s Alive 3) returns home from the Navy to honour her sister’s graduation.

They had nearly survived the high school experience, and with one week left of school, it should have been their time to celebrate. But in the 1981 slasher film Graduation Day, someone wants certain seniors on Midvale High’s track team to die before they can turn their tassels. It was recently revealed that Graduation Day will be released in the UK on Blu-ray, and now Vinegar Syndrome has announced a Us high-definition upgrade of Troma’s high school horror flick.

Set for a September 9th release, the Us Blu-ray of Graduation Day comes with a handful of bonus feature interviews:
