Zombie High (also known as The School That Ate My Brain) is a 1987 American comedy horror film directed by Ron Link. The film was released theatrically on October 2, 1987, and stars Virginia Madsen as a beautiful young teenager who must fight against a boarding school that is intent on turning everyone into a "perfect" student. In the film, classical music is used for the mental conditioning of the brainwashed victims. A character accidentally finds out that rock music has the opposite effect, restoring human traits to the victims. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
