Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 1987 Horror film that's tremendously self-aware and very solidly a B-Movie. But it was George Clooney's film debut as well as Philip McKeon's film debut.In 1982, a series of murders happened at Crippen High School and the killer was never caught. Years later, Harry Sleerik, a sleazy movie producer, has decided to film a horror movie at the site of the school. As filming goes underway, the actors start disappearing... Is it the sole survivor of the original massacre who's returned as the film's screenwriter? The principal of the school who insists on playing the same role in the movie? The creepy school janitor? The former high school jock playing the leading man?

Engineered Public Confession: Subverted. There's a good chance the film crew had discovered the corpse-filled classroom and used the movie as a way to draw out the real killer, the principal, and expose him to the police.

Clown Car Base: An understated version where, in the background of a scene, a dozen crew members and actors emerge from a single bathroom stall.

Mind Screw: The movie routinely mixes actual scenes with scenes where the camera cuts back to show it's part of the movie they're filming. And in the end, the film crew faked almost all of it.
