Now that the horrors of school are behind us for the summer, you can enjoy these school-related thrillers and slashers. This list is a compilation of horror, slashers and/or thrillers that have a school as their setting, focus or plays some role in the overall plot. The list does not include camp movies. These will help you remember that no matter how bad your school years was, at least it wasn't like these movies.

1. Graduation Day


2. Final Destination 3

All of the final destination movies are great to watch, but the third installment begins at the end of the main character's senior year. Warning: This movie, and others in the series, might make you paranoid.

3. Detention

I was never a troublemaker, but I'm pretty sure detention is nothing like the gruesome antics that take place in Detention. If you're still on the fence about watching it, Dane Cook and Josh Hutcherson are in the movie, so what could be bad about it?

4. Most Likely To Die

As kind of a B-rate slasher, Most Likely To Die is the perfect movie to watch with some friend's this summer break.

5. House On Sorority Row (1963)

A sorority is more than a sisterhood in House on Sorority Row. When a graduation party get deadly the sorority sticks together or dies trying.

6. Sorority Row

While a remake of the aforementioned, Sorority Row takes a new look at the 1963 film with modern twists.

7. Final Exam

8. Jennifer's Body

I first heard of Jennifer's Body through the Panic At The Disco's New Perspective music video. While not exclusively about school all of the plot's events lead up to the character's prom.

9. Heathers

I often list this as my favorite romance movie, but it can easily fall into the horror genre as well. Revenge takes a whole new name in Heathers, as a student sheds their popular reputation.

10. Carrie

Speaking of revenge, Carrie takes it to another level. Based on the Stephen King Novel of the same name, it focuses on Carrie White who is bullied at school. While this movie has been remade twice over the years, I recommend the 2002 remake.

11. Rage

Also based on a Stephen King Novel, Rage is the sequel to Carrie.

12. Prom Night Series

A classic, Prom NIght is a must see slasher centered around, you guessed it, prom! Both the original and the remake are about the same, so watching either one works.

13. Scream 2

Another movie apart of a series is Scream 2, which is set on a college campus. It is a classic in its own right, and I recommend the other films in the series.

14. Detention Of The Dead

15. Class of Nuke 'Em High Series

Class of Nuke 'Em High is the typical 80's slasher/comedy and gives you exactly what you expect. If you're like me and don't like the raunchier movies I don't recommend this series.

16. Cutting Class

17. The Final

18. Friend Request

With a college campus as a setting and the overall plot focuses on bullying Friend Request makes the list. To be honest, It's not the best movies, but it's still a great one to watch with friends because of the jump scares.

19. Smiley

When I first heard about Shane Dawson being in a horror movie I thought it would be corny, but Smiley is a terrifying movie with a twist.

20. All Cheerleaders Die

This one might be a little bit of a stretch, but a lot of the setting does take place at school.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
