Time to meet the squad! Carol Kane is in fine form here as horny goody two shoes Candy, but then again, I’ve never seen her in a film where she wasn’t great. Luckily, the cast would go on to bigger and better things, mostly. Co-screenwriter Richard Whitley, of Rock and Roll High School (1979), would take the success of this project and go on to disappear until the 1990s when he began writing for television. And the rest is history! I should probably mention that by “history” I mean that this film didn’t do very well and no one remembers it except me (and Vinegar Syndrome). Let’s not focus on the details.Īlfred Sole, best known to horror fans as the director of Alice, Sweet Alice (1976), tried his hand at a Zucker Brothers style comedy and gave the world Pandemonium (1982). Too bad the killer doesn’t know about cheerleading hopeful Candy’s (Carol Kane) telekinetic powers and the keen intellect of former Canadian Mountie Cooper (Tom Smothers) who just took the case! Well, actually he’s been on the case for years but is too incompetent to solve it. So, it’s no surprise when the new squad starts getting knocked off almost immediately. Years later, cheer wannabe Bambi (Candice Azzara) starts her own cheerleading camp at the very school where the murders took place.
After the big game, a high school cheerleading squad is skewered on a javelin, thus kicking off a rash of brutal cheerleader murders.
