10 Episodes

Is there anything scarier than being a teenager? Relive your high school nightmares with these tales of terror unleashed in classrooms, gyms, locker-lined halls, and cafeterias, where psychotic slashers and supernatural monsters pursue jocks, nerds, and prom queens alike. The everyday fears of adolescence—social anxiety! changing bodies!—have inspired some of horror cinema’s most giddily bloodthirsty visions, from VHS-era exploitation shockers like MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH and SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE to ’90s teen-movie touchstones like I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and THE FACULTY and cult favorites like DONNIE DARKO and BATTLE ROYALE.
