Zombie High (also known as The School That Ate My Brain) is a 1987 American comedy horror film directed by Ron Link.
The film was released theatrically on October 2, 1987, and stars Virginia Madsen as a beautiful young teenager who must fight against a boarding school that is intent on turning everyone into a Stepford-esque "perfect" student.
With nothing to lose, Barry plays a tape of rock music in its place, accomplishing the desired task of stopping the students and saving their lives.
Lana Cooper of Brutal as Hell wrote, "For unintentional humor and as an ‘80s genre horror timepiece, Zombie High cannot be beat.
"[2] The Chicago Tribune panned the film in a 1988 review, expressing surprise that Madsen would star in Zombie High, as they viewed it as a step down from her previous acting work.
