Student Body

Student Bodies is a 1981 American parody slasher comedy film written and directed by Mickey Rose. A spoof of slasher horror films such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Prom Night, the film focuses on a serial killer targeting students at a high school. Student Bodies was the first film to satirize the thriving slasher film genre. A prominent feature of the film is a body count that is superimposed onscreen whenever a death occurs. Principal photography of Student Bodies took place in and around Houston, Texas, with a cast made up entirely of unknown actors. Paramount Pictures released the film theatrically on August 7, 1981. The film was a moderate box office success, grossing $5.2 million in the United States against its $510,000 budget.
