Hide and Go Shriek

A group of teens sneak into a furniture store where a twisted killer is hiding out. Once the maniac starts stalking the schoolkids, their game of hide and seek takes on life-or-death proportions. Though it’s one of the many ‘80s horror films which featured a transphobic depiction of a transgender villain (see also: SLEEPAWAY CAMP, DRESSED TO KILL), HAGS has a gritty 80s slasher sensibility that makes it a frightening and fun watch nonetheless. The film was the sole feature credit for Skip Schoolnik, who later worked on scary shows like “Salem” and “The Walking Dead”.
