School’s out… forever.

Step into the corridors of Horror High, where an after-school special takes a sharp left turn into the supernatural. Schoolyard drama, teenage crushes and looming exams meet buckets of blood, vengeful spirits, and monsters lurking behind the lockers.

Completely unscripted, every scene is made up on the spot by our fearless cast. No one knows who’ll make it out alive—or in how many pieces.

It’s camp. It’s creepy. It’s hilarious. And it’s the perfect way to spend Halloween.
