The 80s - Student Bodies(1981) - Beware Of The Breather!

Student Bodies was a 1981 horror/slasher film spoof. It came out during the hot period of the 80's slasher boom. Hit and miss in it's gags, it is still an amusing and bizarre 80's oddity. It's about a serial killer known as "The Breather", because he, well, breathes heavily. You never see him, but you see his green, rubber gloved hands, and his rain boots. Lol. He stalks the young students at a local high school. In a running gag, the killer always passes up obvious weapons of choice. When to kill a girl, he goes over a knife, gun, rope, etc., and settles on a....paper clip!.

You also see pop ups on the screen like this :

I haven't seen this, but it looks like something I would like. I like spoof.

Thats great, thanks for starting this. Man I dont know how many times I have seen this movie.

Melis - It's really silly and goofy and kinda weird too. Things would also pop up on screen like an arrow pointing to a door saying "Unlocked!". Lol.

Jenny - No problem. I get a kick out of this movie. I haven't seen it in a while. It got a new DVD release, so I am going to check that out.

I still have it on VHS but Im hoping to buy it on DVD someday.

I just taped it years ago. Old tape. Obviously, not very good quality.

Mine isnt too good shape either after watching it so many times when i was younger.

Barrybgb · 07-31-2009, 06:32 PM

I'm glad then that somebody got the idea to finally release it on DVD!.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 08-02-2009, 09:48 PM

No kidding, hopefully they have it where I live or I will just have to order it online.

Barrybgb · 08-03-2009, 08:57 AM

I haven't even looked yet. I hope we have it too!!.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 08-03-2009, 09:40 PM

I love in the beginning where she hears a cat meow and opens the door to see a dog meowing instead

Barrybgb · 08-04-2009, 08:01 AM

Oh yeah!. Lol. I remember. Geez, I need to watch this one again soon!.

That weird janitor guy was...well, weird. Lol.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 08-06-2009, 09:44 PM

Yeah he was with his blow up doll

Barrybgb · 08-07-2009, 08:18 AM

Malvert!. His long arms!. He was creepy. He's nicknamed "The Stick", and he is apparently a stand up comedian, but I can't find a single thing about him!. Lol.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 08-07-2009, 12:14 PM
