- Features footage from a film called "The Storm Breaker"

- Launched it's leading actor to stardom

- Due to a possibly implied gay subtext, the studio ordered that the main villain was only to attack women. (Thankfully, this order was not obeyed.)

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge?

Nope, not even remotely close...there isnt even any atempt to hide the gay subtext in that one!

The lead role was originally considered for a classic silent film star, but after his death an unknown was cast instead.

Dracula?

Yep, that's correct. If I was only a little earlier...

Exactly!

Surprised it took that long, to be honest.

Okay...here goes:

All the characters in this film are named after horror film directors.

The university where all the action takes place is named Corman University, after director Roger Corman.

The movie the house mother is watching before she dies is Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Guess the movie?

Night of the Creeps

I think that's Scream 2, isn't it?

Im pretty sure Austin's right.
