Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's original title was "Bloody Pom Poms." This title is still used in various countries such as Germany.
- GoofsWhen Timmy records himself on the tape recorder he says, "A monster is stirring, it needs to get out, it needs relief." But when the rest of the gang watch the tape later, what he says and how he says it is different. It changes to "I hear something stirring. I think it's gonna need relief."
- Alternate versionsDespite the Anchor Bay DVD box claiming the film is uncut and uncensored, the DVD release is actually the censored "R" rated version. According to the director's commentary, the following scenes were cut to achieve an "R" rating:
- The "dream" sex scenes were trimmed.
- The shears killing was trimmed so that we only briefly see the shears getting rammed into the back of the girl's head.
- Due to time restrictions, a scene near the beginning of the van breaking down was deleted.
- Also, the ambulance attendant tells Alison to "calm down" at the end. This line was cut because according to the director, it sounded bad.

Featured review
If there had been a bigger budget, this would have been THE slasher flick of the 1980's. It was much better then another camp series, sleepaway camp, and the acting was much better then other b-movies. One thing that worked against it, however,was the rather generic title, and it's alternate title, bloody pom poms, wasn't any better. Had more attention been paid to this movie, Leif Garrett would have been on a major comeback, and Besty Russell, perhaps the least known, and most eye pleasing of any 80's starlet, would have been a a list star. Alas, in 1987, this good movie came and went, while much attention was paid to big studio stinkers like ishtar, The Golden Child, among others. How Besty Russell was never an a list star, is a loss.
