Hair High
Rod and Cherri are the unmistakable king and queen of Echo High. When new kid Spud arrives, he makes a faux pas so bad that Rod forces him to be his girl's slave. What unfolds is the tale of Cherri and Spud's blossoming relationship behind Rod's back, and their untimely demise on the night of the prom. A tale of tragedy that could only be as irreverent and sensational through the pen (or pencils, if you will) of Bill Plympton.
Why it matters
A deliriously twisted animated slasher that mashes high school melodrama with Bill Plympton’s signature hand-drawn oddball style.
- Plympton’s animation is a rare treat in horror — grotesque, fluid, and loaded with darkly comic exaggeration.
- A love triangle turned bloodbath that riffs on ’80s slasher tropes with sly irreverence and cartoonish carnage.
- Perfect for fans who want their gore with a side of surreal, offbeat humor rather than straight-up terror.
- More cult art-house oddity than traditional scare-fest, it’s a niche gem for those hungry for animation that courts the macabre.
