Yet another horror story but it's funny, full of terror and awful jokes, as it weaves three stories together. Marie and Teresa take a day trip away from their convent school to research the saint with the severed hand; Don Valley escapes from the mental hospital; and the pub quiz team battle for the final. All three come together in a wonderful pantomime of a story that has a nicely cathartic ending for Don, If only all teenage horror stories had as much life in them.
