7. Slaughter High

Playing very much like Troma's beloved first Toxic Avenger movie during its open moments, 1986's Slaughter High begins as nerdy Marty Rantzen gets seduced by one of the popular girls of his high school class. Of course, this is all a setup for a prank that leaves poor Marty naked and embarrassed by a bunch of your standard d**khead bullies, but things turn even more sour when Marty is left horrendously disfigured due to a further prank in the school's science lab.

When a high school reunion takes place ten years later, it turns out the only ones to receive an invite are these bullying sorts. Arriving at the closed, dilapidated school locale, the group decide to break in and have a party regardless. Here, they're offed one by one by a strange figure wearing a jester mask.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that this killer is indeed Marty, and Slaughter High doesn't do too much to hide this fact, as this troubled fella has some mighty fun ways to dispatch of those who made his school years such a misery. Acid-laced beer causing someone's insides to explode? Check. Filling someone's bathtub with acid? Check. Electrocuting a couple while they have sex? Double check.
