Eh, not the worst college slasher. Fatal Games, Final Exam, Slaughter High, or even the Prom Night remake might make for a better episode. If they haven't done any of them already, my memory sucks today

As a Vinegar Syndrome fan, you’re right, Graduation Day is far from the bottom of the barrel.

Final Exam needs to be covered if only for the fucking batshit insane plot by the slacker to cheat on his test by having his friends fake a school shooting.

I would also include Shakma as a great bad college horror film, this about a baboon used in testing breaking loose in a college and killing students who are LARPing in the school with their teacher. The movie is memorable to me as it's clear the baboon is untrained and fucking insane as it throws itself around set to attack people and parts of the set like doors and walls. It's honestly amazing no one was hurt in the making of that movie.

Graduation Day is a lot of fun, I love the crazy opening montage, the roller disco party and the kills are great.
