Genre: Horror / Thriller
Director: Greydon Clark
Cast: John Ireland, Yvonne De Carlo, Jack Kruschen, John Carradine, Sydney Chaplin, Jacqueline Cole, Kerry Sherman, Hillary Horan, Sherry Marks, Joseph Carlo
Don't EVER make fun of the janitor. That's what the high-school cheerleaders do, and that makes him so mad that he captures them all and offers them for sacrifice by his Satan-worshipping group. I bet there won't be a lot of cheerleading at THAT gathering. Cheap, with a teeny bit of cult potential.
