The blood is flowing on campus and it has trickled down to us, as we’ve got three exclusive pics from the currently lensing MURDER UNIVERSITY to share with you.

Shooting on Rhode Island locations and presently three weeks into production, MURDER UNIVERSITY is being directed by Richard Griffin, marking a change of pace from his previous, more humorously inclined outings like THE DISCO EXORCIST and NUN OF THAT. This one, scripted by acclaimed New England playwright Lenny Schwartz, is a homage to ’80s slasher fare, and Griffin says, “Even though we’re just past the one-third mark of production, MURDER UNIVERSITY has turned out to be our most bloodsoaked feature to date. It’s wonderful having such talented special effects artists as Eric Rodrigues and Jordan Pacheco to create such gruesome works of art. I know horror fans are pretty much fed up to the eyeballs with CG gore and want a return to the hand-crafted artistry of practical makeup effects, and MURDER UNIVERSITY delivers bucketfuls of the gruesome groceries. For all those horror fans who are sick to death of found-footage films and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY riffs, I promise MURDER UNIVERSITY will be a gore-filled, gourmet cinematic cheeseburger you can enjoy with a bunch of friends and your best six-pack!"

Producer Ted Marr adds, “The entire cast is really topnotch, with our three leads, Jamie Dufault, Michael Thurber and Sammi Acampora, giving performances that easily rival anything seen in a multimillion-dollar blockbuster. It’s so important in a horror film that you actually care about the characters you put in harm’s way, and our actors really make these people three-dimensional, and not just the typical ‘dead meat characters’ you see in most slasher films of this type.” You can visit MURDER UNIVERSITY on Facebook here.
