Girls School Screamers

A group of seven senior students travels to the now-empty Welles mansion to catalog its art collection for Trinity College. Sister Urban oversees the project, and Dr. Robert Fisher appears as a prospective buyer, adding an uneasy undertone. The mansion's eerie reputation foreshadows the danger that will unfold during their stay.

On the first day, Jackie discovers a diary dating back to the 1930s belonging to Jennifer Welles. The diary mentions Sister Urban by name and hints at Jennifer's longing to become a nun. This discovery begins to connect the mansion's past to the present danger.

During dinner, Sister Urban recounts the orphan Jennifer's fate, revealing she was killed at the mansion in what is described as an accident. Her tale foreshadows the haunting that the students feel creeping around the house. The revelation unsettles the group and raises questions about the mansion's past.

That night, all the girls except Jackie and Adelle suggested summoning Jennifer's spirit through a seance. The séance ends with apparent poltergeist activity, rattling the house and heightening the sense of danger. The supernatural events set the stage for the subsequent killings.

Jackie and Elizabeth find a large portrait of Jennifer in the parlor that bears a striking resemblance to Jackie. The uncanny likeness deepens the sense that Jennifer's spirit may be lingering in the mansion. The discovery intensifies the secrecy the girls try to maintain about what they are learning.

Jackie reads more from Jennifer's diary and learns that Jennifer faced sexual advances from her uncle Tyler. The diary implies an incestuous relationship developed during the time the two stayed in the house. This ominous revelation foreshadows Tyler's role in the present danger.

The group tries to conceal the portrait from the others to avoid further tension. Meanwhile, Sister Urban grows increasingly ill and is bedridden for the remainder of the night. The atmosphere grows more oppressive as the mansion seems to close in around the students.

Rosemary is found dead after being murdered with a meat cleaver by an unseen assailant while riding in the dumbwaiter. Her body is discovered, sending shockwaves through the group. The murder confirms that the haunting has turned deadly.

Karen goes to the basement to search for Rosemary and finds her body hidden in the dumbwaiter. Shortly after, Karen herself is killed in the same general area. The students realize the danger is real and the killer is among them.

Kate is murdered outside when she is dragged into the pond by a rotting, decomposed hand. The grisly method underscores the killer's supernatural or ritualistic nature. The group is terrorized as more deaths occur.

Jackie's boyfriend Paul and his friend Bruce arrive at the mansion, hoping to find Jackie. Bruce is killed when run over by Paul's car outside, a shocking and confusing incident. Paul continues searching for Jackie, unaware of the danger inside the house.

Elizabeth and Susan keep vigil by Sister Urban, but Susan is lured into the attic where she is electrocuted to death. Meanwhile, Paul is stabbed to death with a pitchfork by the killer outside. The killer's methods reveal a ritualistic, sadistic intent.

Jackie discovers her classmates' corpses seated in chairs before a ceremonial altar in the basement. Dr. Robert Fisher is revealed to be Tyler Welles, the killer who orchestrated the horror from behind the scenes. The revelation explains the killer's long-term presence in the mansion and his fixation on Jackie.

Sister Urban summons Jennifer's spirit, which possesses Jackie and drives her to retaliate against Tyler. Jackie gouges Tyler's eyeballs, avenging Jennifer's murder decades prior. The three survivors—Jackie, Elizabeth, and Sister Urban—flee the mansion in an ambulance, while an apparition of Jennifer looks down from an upstairs window.
