What happens
Pandemonium is a 1982 American parody slasher film. It was directed by Alfred Sole and features an ensemble cast including Tom Smothers, Eileen Brennan, Phil Hartman, Tab Hunter, Judge Reinhold, Carol Kane, David Lander, Eve Arden, and Paul Reubens. The film went into production under the working title of Thursday the 12th. The film was the last feature in which Eve Arden appeared and also the last feature film Sole directed in his career. The film is set in Indiana, focusing on a fictional cheerleading camp. The camp closed in 1963, following the murders of several cheerleaders at an affiliated university. Nearly twenty years later, a veteran cheerleader re-opens the camp and ignores warnings about a supposed curse on the camp. The killings soon start again. The killer turns out to be a local celebrity, who never fulfilled his dreams of becoming a cheerleader. Pandemonium was released in theatres on April 2, 1982. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
