Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film suffered severe cuts by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and as a result most of the murders occur off-camera and feature little to no gore or violence. Because of this, the filmmakers edited the film in such a way that the murders seem to happen immediately after each other in quick succession. When the film was originally shot, more time had passed between each murder, which included special effects and on-screen violence. Ironically, the promotional material released feature several shots of the excised deaths, including Pam (Deborah Hancock) getting skewered by a trident and Virgil (Jeff Pustil) with his hand chopped off.
- GoofsWhen April is walking around the abandoned snack bar in the cinema, the crew is reflected in the silver metal of the candy case, at the snack area.
- Alternate versionsPrior to release, MGM cut bloody details from almost every on-screen murder in the film. Just before its release American horror magazine Fangoria published photos of the numerous death scenes pruned from the final cut. These scenes have not been restored back into the film.

Featured review
College pranks are mixed with murder, madness and demonic possession in this suspenseful thriller set on a university campus. Phoebe, Vivia and Jennifer are three pretty coeds enduring the rigors of pledging a popular sorority. But hazing is nothing compared to what's in store for them at the annual April Fools party in the abandoned Delta Sigma fraternity house. The cold, brooding structure has been boarded up and off limits to two decades, ever since the death of a student in a practical joke gone awry. But the house isn't empty and whatever's inside has been waiting 20 years. Now its time has come at a party that's going to be a real killer!
