Student Bodies is a 1981 American parody slasher comedy film[1] written and directed by Mickey Rose, with an uncredited Michael Ritchie co-directing. A spoof of slasher horror films such as Halloween, Friday the 13th and Prom Night, 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.
The film depicts the Breather, a serial killer who stalks and preys on high school students. Eventually, the majority of the film's events are depicted as part of the fevered dream of a sexually repressed hospital patient. But the patient's boyfriend then turns out to be a Breather-like killer. The patient's violent death resembles the scenes from her dreams.
