Ghoul School (1990 74 minutes)

At Trenchcoat Mafia High (somewhere in the middle of New Jersey), 2 former students have a plan to rob the janitor's secret stash of something - unfortunately while messing around in the basement they release some kind of toxic chemical that gets into the water that turns the swim team into zombies. Meanwhile, old-timey New York TV personality Joe Franklin has a phone conversation where he acts like the phone is going to give him cooties and then Jackie the Joke Man Martling shows up for rapid fire joke time. Back at the school, 2 nerds watch a bootleg video of Robot Ninja while the struggling rock band Bloodsucking Ghouls practice for their big gig coming up at the school dance. All you need to know is the lead singer's name is Blade and he has a knee length leather jacket with fringes on it. Finally the zombies start attacking and everyone goes bonkers. This is all full of off-kilter elements - the members of Bloodsucking Ghouls have obviously never touched instruments before, the basketball team has only 5 guys and can't even do a lay up drill , the cops that show up have a shotgun that's about a foot too short, and everyone has their shirts way too tucked in. Luckily, you get an axe in the crotch here and a nail in the eye there so its' all good in the end. The origins of Jersey Shore? Right here, brother.
