Plot: The day after a homecomming basketball game and the victory party, an all-nighter scavenger hunt is held on the campus of a small Ohio collge. But also in attendence is a killer, wearing the dancing bear costume of the school mascot whom gets killed, is around stalking a number of cheerleaders and killing them with a variety of sharp knifes. The campus chief securty officer Mac (Hal Holbrook) whose daughter was a victim of a similar killer, tries to find out whose behind it before more killings happen. This movie i recomend plus it has Lauren-Marie Taylor who plays Vicki in Friday The 13th part 2.The killer is way creative to!

I like this flick a lot too. The bear costume is classic.

You've gotta pick it up FireStar. When I first heard about the plot, I thought it would be lame. Turns out it's one of the best early 80's slashers out there.

It's not bad. Some over the top characters and some giallo type stuff which is good. Not bloody enough though. Kind of like the R rated version of MBV
Give it a rent though. If you can look past the stuff you don't like, it is enjoyable enough.
6/10

I'm a big fan, one of the later slashers i saw - by that i mean i was about 12 or 13 when i got hold of it, It was released as The Scaremaker on oz vhs.
I loved the Scavenger hunt idea, the costume ( the knives were a precurser to Freddy) and the sprinkling of 60's songs throughout the movie including The Lovin' Spoonful's Summer in the City.
