This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kess) was limited to 1,500 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Years ago, a madman escaped from an asylum, slashing his way through to freedom and continuing his bloody rampage at nearby Saint Trinian's College. Now, years later, new teacher Julie Parker, begins to sense that something isn't quite right at the small town college and it's not long before her students and fellow faculty members begin disappearing or, worse yet, are found brutally butchered. Determined to uncover the truth behind the ongoing violence, Julie begins her own investigation, unaware that she's putting herself at risk of becoming the ruthless murderer's next target.

A classic of no-budget horror filmmaking, Richard W. Haines' SPLATTER UNIVERSITY is a trashy and consciously absurd 80s slasher that revels in the best (and worst) tropes of the genre. Sporting bloody kills, absurd twists, and a face smacking finale, Vinegar Syndrome presents SPLATTER UNIVERSITY in its North American Blu-ray debut, sporting a brand new (and first ever) restoration from its original 16mm camera negative.

Reviews

Fantastic Packaging and a Premium Presentation for a True Horror Obscurity.

"I viewed this film on the Splatter University Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray physical media release and it is the same great premium level of packaging and presentation that you’ve come to expect from the generic releases of this boutique label. No other brand beats Vinegar Syndrome at the cardboard game and this great slipcover is no exception to the consistently fantastic artwork and component quality this company produces. For my full detailed review of Splatter University, see my entry on Letterboxd: @M4N14K"

Splatter uni

"Such a fun little slasher with some pretty bloody kills. It’s about time this one got a decent release as it was long forgotten about. Definitely worth a watch if you enjoy your low budget, early slashers."

Splatter University review by mark and a movie

"“Splatter University” (1984) is a prime example of the glut of Horror flicks flooding the market produced to cash in on popularity of the Slasher craze. This low budget fright film adheres closely to the then new, but already expected troupes established by its cinematic predecessors. What director Richard W. Haines (Class of Nuke ‘Em High 1986) does here, is manages to infuse a little fun between the prerequisite gory kills."

— Mark H. (5/5)

I Question Splatter University’s Accreditation

"It's a blood-soaked, intentionally and unintentionally funny ride that revels in its low-budget charm. If you're a fan of over-the-top kills and questionable acting, enroll in Splatter University today!"

— Bryan K. (4/5)
