8 Best College Campus Horror Movies You've Never Heard Of
4. After Midnight
This one is actually an anthology style film, but with the overarching story taking place in the context of a private lecture from a university professor.
Professor Edward Derek leads a class on the psychology of fear, and decides that it’s totally appropriate to subject students to in-class experiments without any proper informed consent or anything.
Unsurprisingly this backfires on him when one of his pranks/experiments has the undesired effect of making one poor student pee their pants in fear.
The kid is horribly embarrassed and the university steps in to censure the class, but in the meantime the shamed professor invites two of his students for a private lesson. He tells them three stories centred around fear, whilst unbeknownst to him there are people and forces at work against him the whole time.
Anthology films are always fun even when some of the stories are a bit crap, but most people are sold on this film as soon as they see the ridiculous prank that gets the professor in trouble in the first place.
It sets the tone for the kooky, darky funny adventure to come.
