Student Bodies is a 1981 horror comedy that was written and directed by Mickey Rose . It is a satire of many popular horror films of the time.

The movie uses the same type of humor seen in other movies, such as "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun". In one scene, for example, hand language is used. Everytime somebody dies, an on-screen body count appears.

Sypnosis

"Student Bodies" is about a serial killer who stalks female students at a high school, while at the same time, voyeuring on them as they walk around the school's locker room. The killer's name is "The Breather", because the killer has trouble breathing, therefore, he breaths very hard all the time.

"The Breather" enjoys stalking victims over the telephone, and, much like Jason Voorhies of Friday the 13th, he hates seeing youngsters having sex. He usually stabs his victims.

It is initially suspected that the school's principal is the killer. While the principal has a killing instinct, that theory was later proven wrong, as he became "body number 12" when he slipped over some marbles and stabbed himself to death while trying to attack a student.

"Student Bodies" had small box office success. Nevertheless, it was one of a group of movies that were directed towards teenaged audiences during the early 1980s. Other movies in this group included Porky's, Meatballs and Revenge of The Nerds .
