13 High School Horror Movies on Tubi to Watch in September 2023
Tragedy Girls (2017)
Why Watch It? Tragedy Girls is a smart and funny dark comedy for fans of movies like The Babysitter (2017) and Happy Death Day (2017).
Official Description: Two death-obsessed high school girls aim to gain fame by making their local-crime-reporting social media presence a household name.
Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987)
Why Watch It? Michael Ironside is great as a high school principal being tormented by his dark past. Part possession movie, part slasher, and all camp, Hell Mary Lou is cheesy 1980s fun.
Official Description: A prom queen’s tortured spirit rises to get revenge against the boyfriend responsible for her fiery death. He’s now the high-school principal.
Horror High (2021)
Why Watch It? The monster in Horror High looks really good, and the movie’s premise is weird enough to hold your attention.
Official Description: In a hypnotized town, a monster lurks near a high school and picks off tardy students one by one. Can an unlikely band of teen heroes end the terror?
Dance of the Dead (2008)
Why Watch It? Dance of the Dead is silly, bloody, and it depicts a school dance full of zombies who are soothed by music. It’s a zombie comedy gem.
Official Description: A high school prom goes to hell when the undead rise to feast on teen couples whose only chance for survival are the students who couldn’t get dates!
All Cheerleaders Die (2013)
Why Watch It? The cheerleader horror movie is a horribly underappreciated category, but All Cheerleaders Die is one of the best examples of this rare and wonderful genre.
Official Description: A high school misfit joins the cheerleading squad for revenge against the football captain, but a fatal accident turns the team into the walking dead.
The Club (1994)
Why Watch It? The Club is kind of a demonic fantasy ghostly mystery movie that is hard to explain, but a lot of fun to watch.
Official Description: A high school prom becomes a deadly affair, when a student initiates his classmates into a society of evil, by having them face their greatest fears.
Tomie: Beginning (2005)
Why Watch It? Tomie: Beginning is based on the popular manga series created by Junji Ito. Like many super-low-budget Japanese horror movies, it manages to be both cheesy and disturbing at the same time.
Official Description: When an enchanting new student arrives at school, her classmates fall under her spell and soon discover that her beauty hides an unexplainable evil.
Black Rat (2010)
Why Watch It? This fun slasher movie is bloody and melodramatic in a way that Japan has perfected. It also has an interesting mystery that turns it into a whodunnit style slasher despite it seeming like a fairly straightforward story when it begins.
Official Description: Six classmates receive an e-mail from a student who’d committed suicide telling them to return to their classroom in the middle of the night. There, they meet a killer wearing a bloody rat mask who seeks revenge.
Ghoul School (1990)
Why Watch It? Ghoul School is awful, but awful in a way that is sure to please fans of terrible movies. It’s also pretty funny.
Official Description: Two lowlifes accidentally release a powerful chemical into their school’s water supply, turning the students into flesh-eating ghouls.
Tormented (2009)
Why Watch It? Tormented is a well-made British slasher movie with a supernatural twist. It uses the familiar premise of past misdeeds coming back to haunt (and kill) the people responsible for a tragedy, making the movie feel familiar in a good way.
Official Description: A social-climbing high school senior who spurned the advances of a bullied teen must fend for her life when he returns from the dead as a ghost.
The Dead Ones (2019)
Why Watch It? As a warning, The Dead Ones contains disturbing depictions of shooters in a high school, so it won’t be for everyone. Those who do choose to watch will find an ambitious horror movie that may not accomplish all of its lofty narrative goals, but it absolutely is something worth watching.
Official Description: High school is hell for four high school social outcasts in detention for a horrific event who get locked in school with maniacs hunting for them.
