Pranks | 1982 | USA | Stephen Carpenter/Jeffrey Obrow

A relatively run-of-the-mill slasher picture, the film was directed by two budding film students who did the film as kind of a school project. Sometimes known as The Dorm That Dripped Blood or Death Dorm, the film focuses on a small group of students who stay behind to strip their old dormitory building of anything useful during the Christmas holidays, only to become systematically slaughtered by a mysterious killer wielding a spiked baseball bat. Well-crafted and bleak for such a cheap film, it contains some rather brutish gore effects too, which is presumably why it was picked upon.
