The Dorm That Dripped Blood, originally released under the title Pranks,[i] is a 1982 American slasher film directed by Stephen Carpenter and Jeffrey Obrow, written by Carpenter and Stacey Giachino,[3] and starring Laurie Lapinski, Stephen Sachs, David Snow, Pamela Holland, and Daphne Zuniga in her film debut. It follows four college students who stay on campus over the Christmas holiday to clean out a condemned dormitory, where an unknown assailant begins stalking and murdering them.
Filmed on the University of California, Los Angeles campus in December 1981, the film was originally released in the United States and United Kingdom under the title Pranks in 1982. When its distributors found this title non-conducive to box-office sales, the film was re-titled The Dorm That Dripped Blood and re-released in 1983. In the United Kingdom, it suffered significant censorship due to its graphic violence, earning its inclusion on the British Board of Film Classification's "video nasty" list, though it was later removed.
