Terror Train

Terror Train is a 1980 slasher film starring Jamie Lee Curtis
I think the really neat thing about Terror Train is the setting its a costume party on a train I cant think of another movie I have seen that in its just a really great idea!


At the start of the film they are having a New years eve party and Alana ( Jamie Lee Curtis ) is talked into playing a prank on Kenny Hampstead a shy and very awkward pledge ..he comes into the room thinking he is going to get laid ( which is part of the pledge ) some of the frat boys who are pre med have placed a dead womans corpse in the bed..Kenny is traumatized and is sent to a mental hospital.

Now its three years later and the same members of the fraternity and Sorority are having a costume party on a train..The class clown dressed as Groucho Marx is killed before getting on the train and the killer takes his costume and blends in.
Next he kills Jackson who is dressed like some sort of Dinosaur alien thing and takes his costume and then after that Docs girlfriend Mitchy finds him and thinks he is Jackson and leads him to the bed where she is then killed and he takes her witches costume.
As the party continues more students ( mostly the ones responsible for the prank ) are killed and no one seems to notice.
The killer assumes the costumed identity of each victim.
Carne ( the Train conductor )  discovers some bodies and moves the students in one car as the train begins its return journey. Alana recalls the prank, and, remembering that Kenny loved magic, suspects the magician ( David Copperfield ) is the killer. However the magician has disappeared, and is eventually found impaled inside his sword box.
Alana is moved into a locked compartment for her safety, but the killer is still aboard, stalking her. The killer enters the compartment but Alana escapes, and is pursued by the killer through the train. The killer is revealed as Kenny, who was disguised as the magician's female assistant. Kenny refuses Alana's apology and forces her to kiss him, but the kiss causes Kenny to relive his memories of the prank, driving him deeper into insanity. Carne rushes to the scene and beats down Kenny with a firemans' shovel, causing him to fall out the open door of the baggage car to his presumable death. His body lands in the nearly frozen river and floats away as the train roars off.
