Student Bodies is a 1981 American parody slasher comedy film written and directed by Mickey Rose. A spoof of slasher horror films such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Prom Night, the film focuses on a serial killer targeting students at a high school. Student Bodies was the first film to satirize the thriving slasher film genre. A prominent feature of the film is a body count that is superimposed onscreen whenever a death occurs.

Production

Mickey Rose wrote and directed the film, with executive producer Jerry Belson offering additional material; however, Michael Ritchie was placed on set as an overseeing producer to guide Rose should he need it. The film's production budget was $510,000.

Student Bodies features a cast of true unknowns; most of them, including leads Riter and Goldsby, have never made another feature film. Future Travis County Judge and Texas State Senator Sarah Eckhardt appears in a small role.

Principal photography of Student Bodies took place on location in Houston and Katy, Texas. Lamar High School in Houston was used as the school in the film. Additional locations included the campus of Texas Southern University and the James E. Taylor High School football field in Katy.
