The 15 Best School Horror Movies Set in High School or College (Whatnerd)

"Horror movies can take place almost anywhere. In a graveyard? Lost in the woods? Out in deep space? Yeah, those are all great. But how about in a school where young folks just want to make it to graduation? School brings out feelings of anxiety and dread in most students, but with these horror movies, those feelings turn to outright fear and terror. There's an entire subgenre of flicks where going back to school can turn deadly, whether it's due to supernatural entities or deranged serial killers. Here are the best school horror movies that take place in high schools and universities, which can be scarier than any graveyard." - whatnerd.com
