SYNOPSIS: A university professor is conducting research into brain cell regeneration. Unfortunately, the only effect of his drug is to make the experimental macaque go insane. When one escapes, it turns out that it's bite infects humans with the same thing, turning them into homicidal killers. Now it's up to a crusading reporter from the student newspaper and his plucky girlfriend to stop it before the Halloween Ball becomes the Halloween Massacre. Or, even better, just after that.

Death by Bleachers A chase is being concluded through a high school. The victim ducks beneath the bleachers, and -- the killer follows! She runs, he follows, she runs, he seems implacable -- unstoppable. She ducks out of the bleachers and hits the button that automatically collapses them against the wall. They start to move inward. The killer runs for the edge of the bleachers ... but is too late, crunch crackle smoosh.
