The horror movie Terror Train directed by Roger Spottiswoode was released.
Principal photography for Terror Train took place primarily in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
A prank involving Billy, Kenny, and his girlfriend Sarah goes horribly wrong, leading to serious humiliation for Kenny when a degrading act is recorded and glued into Sarah's hair.
Following the traumatic prank and public humiliation, Kenny experiences a mental breakdown and is institutionalized, holding a grudge against those involved in the prank.
One year later, the group of college students board a train for a New Year's costume party, unaware that Kenny has escaped from the institution and is seeking revenge.
Kenny, disguised and wielding a sharp weapon, starts terrorizing and killing the party guests one by one in gruesome fashion aboard the train.
Party participants discover the bodies of some of their friends are missing or dead, escalating panic and fear among them.
The survivors confront Kenny, leading to a tense and violent showdown inside the confined space of the train's dining car.
