Ghoul School is an independent American horror film of the zombie comedy genre. It was written, directed and produced by Timothy O'Rawe and released in the direct-to-video market in VHS format in 1990 by O'Gore Productions and Cinema Home Video. The premise of the movie plays along a "Rock-n-Roll High School meets The Evil Dead" motif with the student body of a New Jersey high school suddenly turning into flesh-eating ghouls after drinking tainted water. The only hope against the undead is a group of social outcasts and a band of misfit amateur musicians.
