By Brice Mack (director); Kay Cousins Johnson (screenwriter); Lisa Pelikan, Bert Convy, Nina Foch, Amy Johnston (starring)
Universal City, CA: Steve Krantz Productions / American International Pictures [AIP], 1977. Third Revised Draft script for the 1978 film.

Based on a story by producer Steve Krantz. Jennifer (Pelikan) is a young woman just entering a new private school, where the other students torment her to the breaking point. Her only course of action is revenge, which she enacts by communicating telepathically with snakes.

A beautiful example of exploitation at its best, borrowing from both from its obvious antecedent, "Carrie" (1976), and another mind-over-animal film, "Willard" (1971), where rats became tools of justice.

Green titled wrappers. Title page present, dated October 26, 1977, noted as THIRD REVISION, with credits for screenwriter Johnson and story writer Krantz. 118 leaves, with last page of text numbered 102. Xerographically reproduced. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with three gold brads.

Muir 1970s.
