Horror High
There is something evil out there... Possessed by a force that doesn't belong to this world - and it's going to kill me!
A nerdy high school super whiz experiments with a chemical which will transform his guinea pig "Mr. Mumps" from a gentle pet into a ravenous monster. In a fit of rage against his tormentors at the high school, Vernon Potts goes on a killing spree, eliminating all of those who ever picked on him - the Gym Coach, the School Jock, The Creepy Janitor & his hated teacher, Ms. Grindstaff.

**_Teen Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at an American high school_** A bullied science whiz at a high school in the Dallas area (Pat Cardi) develops a potion that darkly empowers him to get back at those who abuse him. "Horror High" (1974) is also known as “Twisted Brain” and written by the writer of the later “Dark Night of the Scarecrow.” The basic premise with its stock werewolf-formula hails back to 1958’s “Monster on the Campus” just mixed with the bullied teen in high school angle, which inspired future flicks like “Carrie,” "Christine" and "The Unhealer" (2021). “Primal Rage” (1988) was no doubt influenced by it. The viewer’s sympathies are with the commendable nerd. His relationships with a striking redhead (Rosie Holotik) and the lead detective (Austin Stoker) are well written
