Meeting in the empty school auditorium one stormy night, these adventurous high school students' ultimate mission is to learn the identity of the enigmatic Locker Stalker.  What begins as a half-hearted prank turns into a roller coaster night of great tunes, hilarious goons and side-splitting laughter as each student is confronted by his or her nightmare...  literally!  What are we to think when a living, growing blob of the school cafeteria's potatoes confronts Colin, bringing on the "smashing" 'tater tune "Spudzilla"?!  Charlene is chased by a crazed "cereal" killer with a questionable taste in victims.  Todd's worst fantasies about science lab are seen through the hilarious jingle "Teachers on Weekends."  The whole show is like nothing you have ever seen or heard!  Your audiences will be screaming — with laughter and suspense!
