At long last, the Prom I never really had!
Granted- I went to a Private School, didn't care about any of that and only mention this now for the joke.
This is Prom Night, a 1980 Slasher Film that came right at the start. Did it inspire so many Films that would follow? Was it uneventful? Is it very common to find in multi-Film sets for whatever reason?
Yes to 2 of those. Find out which below.
The Film is *technically* Canadian (shot there to be cheaper) and is, of course, notable for being part of Jamie Lee Curtis' early Scream Queen Career. Kind of crazy to think that she's come back to that in the late '90s and in the last few years, right? It is a shame that Tubi couldn't have sprung for her in their Terror Train Remake (or its Sequel).
The Plot involves a killer at Prom Night. Is it someone with a grudge? Is it a random weirdo? Is it the escaped killer? Is it the one they obviously set up and not the red herrings?
Last but not least, it is worth mentioning that Director Paul Lynch has been featured here a few times in the past.
To find out if this is an often overlooked classic, read on...
The Film opens with a bunch of kids chasing around/scaring one of them. Is this a Children of the Corn Film?Kids are dumb.
Years later, the kids are all grown up and it is nearly Prom Night.
You should name a Film that!
Let's not worry about this too much though.
You all need to Disco Dance!
The terror seems to be real eventually as the Night approaches...for a few minutes.
Thanks, Detective Not Appearing in the Original Footage.
It is the Third Act, so the killer finally gets off their butt and starts killing folks.
A decent Film, just know what to expect from it. It is not Friday the 13th. It is not A Nightmare on Elm Street.
They sure tried though.
