[edit] Plot Summary
Bizarre and unspeakable events begin unfolding at Yorktown, North Dakota Vo-Tech, where cheerleading coach Rebecca and new biology teacher Alex Sharpe "join forces" to face the evil. A pitch-forked farmer and a doom-saying Elvis foretell the outlandish horror to come when classrooms turn to bloody battlegrounds pitting teacher against pupil, leading our two valiant heroes on a hilarious, nightmarish adventure to discover the terrifying truth behind the carnage, madness and devilishly sexy goings-on.
[edit] Production Information
4 Cheerleaders of the Apocalypse was shot on 16mm film, mainly in Grand Forks. It was the first feature by Ted Roesgen, who at the time owned a film and video production company in Grand Forks that specialized in commercials and industrial films. After Roesgen was persuaded to insert some sexier scenes, the film was distributed nationally by Blockbuster Video and became something of a cult favorite, usually as part of drinking games. The film's ultra-low budget resulted in a planned school bus explosion being substituted with a chase by a lawnmower. 4 Cheerleaders of the Apocalypse spawned a sequel, of sorts, two years later with Dead and Too Stupid to Know It (which finally did include a burning school bus).
