"First you're another true blue vamp. Then someone's mother. Then you're camp." So sang Yvonne de Carlo six years before this wretched horror comedy that had me laughing at myself for subjecting my time to getting through this. Even the genius mind of Stephen Sondheim could not have come up with another line to describe what de Carlo did for love of career to continue working in film. Lily Munster would have gathered up every print of this and fed it to Spot, the dragon, if she could have.
This movie takes the most annoying cheerleaders of our high school nightmares and multiplies their caterwauling by ten to make you want to see them fall prey to some unknown terror as they end up the worst ride of their lives to a game and after believing the pervert janitor (Jack Kruschen) who picked them up is dead end up being aided by Sheriff John Ireland and wife de Carlo who are looking for a virgin to sacrifice.
Movies of this nature are usually just automatically bad simply out of unbelievable storylines and dialog, but this is just wretchedly stupid and annoying from start to finish. Jacqulin Cole is perhaps the biggest offender for a bad performance as the adult cheerleading monitor who couldn't get a smart sentence out of her mouth if she was reading a law book aloud. I give this an extra star for the presence of the few veterans which makes this a curiosity piece. And yes, once again, John Carradine pops up, simply just to add his name to another of the four hundred something horror films he appeared in, and gets a few unintentional laughs.
