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 fullfilled his dreams of becoming a cheerleader.
Pandemonium was released in theatres on April 2, 1982.
