I just remember cringing at how awful it portrayed Greeks during a time with membership was really down.

Sure, it portrays both sorority life and witchcraft in a bad light, but the movie is still a lot of fun to watch.

I'm glad my sorority experience isn't like that. I'm pagan and didn't "go Greek" until in my late 40s.

Honeychile, that's the one. I not only remember it, I have it on video (Yeah, I know, take away my man card now ). Two sisters go to college, one joins the popular group (Alpha Nu Sigma) and the other the "spooky" (Phi Epsilon Delta = nicknamed Pigs, Elephants and Dogs by ANS) house. Spooky house sister goes all "Carrie" on the popular house after they pelt her with mud and rotten tomatoes. Add in Shelley Winters, Morgan Fairchild (as the b****y popular sorority girl), a demon dog, then get some popcorn and let the good times roll!

Look what I stumbled across on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795403/

It's even got MORGAN FAIRCHILD in it!!!! I'm guessing Jennifer Tilly will play one of the wicked witches. I just wonder if this will show up on LMN or WE.
