Plot summary
At his high school, Vernon Potts frequently takes cruelty from the bullies and from his teachers. He has a friendship with his classmate Robin Jones, which her boyfriend, the football player Roger Davis, does not approve of. His biology project is a drug of his own invention that changes the body, and the class guinea pig, Mr. Mumps, is its test subject. One night after school he lets himself into the science lab to feed the animal and finds it turned by the drug into a small, snarling beast that has killed a cat belonging to the school's janitor, Mr. Griggs.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Horror High (1973)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Horror High was rated X until it was sold to Crown International Pictures, whose cuts to the kill scenes earned it a PG. Crown's then-president Mark Tenser had about 8 minutes of new footage shot to restore the runtime, and he played Vernon's father himself.
- Screenwriter J.D. Feigelson got the idea for Horror High by wondering what the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde would be like if it were set in a high school.
