"Grunzke stretches the history of education to unexamined places of learning brilliantly, with acid irony and scholarly verve. He makes the horror film, a storied cinematic genre, a teaching institution. It mirrors adolescent angst, lacing the picture with personal terrors and humor, experiences routinely omitted from historical excursions. Grunzke gives them life and consequence." - Donald Warren, Professor Emeritus, Education History and Policy, Indiana University, USA
