I don’t know if anyone else has seen this, and I don’t know if anyone’s going to believe me, but this movie was ALL KINDS OF FUN!! Probably, if anyone else has had the pleasure of seeing this at some point in their life – they’ll probably disagree with me but I thought this was a great example of 80′s slasher material with big hair, bushy eyebrows, boobs, tiaras, zombies - solid acting for a movie like this – boobs (what??), blood, a zombie, adultery, motorcycles, a fun soundtrack, a demon rocking horse and, what else, some good, sly comedy. I don’t normally do this out on this site, but I had so much fun with this movie that I took a bunch of screen captures to tell this tale of fun, revenge, bangs and wanting to get the Prom Queen tiara…. NO MATTER WHO YOU HAVE TO KILL!!
~ THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS AND SOME BOOBS – PLEASE CEASE AND DESIST IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY EITHER OF THESE THINGS ~
Intro Mary Lou Maloney, running through the rain to the church confessional to confess her sins: cursing… being mean… sassing her mom… screwing boys… you know – all those things The Church forbids – and, as she leaves, having written “FOR A GOOD TIME CALL MARY LOU (NUMBER)” on the wall of the confessional, she adds: “And I loved every minute of it” SMOOCH.
At the prom, her and her date happily dance it up, sock-hop style, until she excuses herself to powder her nose…. and sock-hop her Hoo-Haa onto someone’s (who is NOT her date’s) – uh – Penile.
Jilted and hurt, her date rescues a toilet paper roll full of shit and an explosive from the men’s room’s trashcan, drops it from the scaffold above the stage and she goes up in FLAMES!!!!! AW snap – she was good looking too : (
30 years later, we meet innocent, chaste and pure Vicki who won’t even go to second base with her old man Craig. In fact, her family is so pure and chaste her mom won’t even buy her a new Prom dress – making her wear the same one from last year. The BARBARITY!!!!
The girl from the pic below this offers Vicki’s sad sack self some advice: “Go borrow a dress from the school’s prop department.” “Gee – that’s a brilliant idea, you hoser!!” she replies – this is a Canadian flick after all, so she goes down into the basement and cracks open this trunk, which, for no sane reason, contains the unburned clothes Mary Lou was wearing when she burned to her fiery death 30 years ago. AND the demonic spirit of Mary Lou herself!!! Consider that demon UNLEASHED!!!
The first thing Mary Lou’s spirit does, before manifesting itself in Vicki’s blond body, is – - – - – - – MURDER!! This scene was a lot of fun and didn’t go the way I expected.
After Vicki tries on Mary Lou’s prom dress, she becomes possessed with the vengeful spirit of the burned to death prom queen and, the next day at volleyball practice with Brian from HARD TICKET TO HOME VIDEO (he’s in the green), she passes out and starts having…. VISIONS OF PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT ARE LEGENDARY EVEN IN HELL!!! It’s not really THAT bad but she does have some fun dream visions of kids dressed in 50s gym clothes calling her Mary Lou.
Her rocking horse in her room also comes alive – that’s kind of this film’s “money shot”, so to speak. What else? She also tries to violently bone her boyfriend, catches the Science teacher’s crotch on fire, “European” kisses her dad, kills her mom, and then we get the next sequence of events.
“You’re acting so weird lately,” says her good looking friend whose character’s name I never caught and adds: “LIKE, OHMYGOD, LIKE, THAT DRESS! CALL THE FASHION POLICE, Y’ALL!!”
The filmmakers then drop a bomb on the audience and clothes start getting shed and the two girls make it in the shower – well, mildy make it in the shower – but, considering how tame (but fun) this had been for an hour, this was pretty surprising.
Some of you might remember this image from a fun contest at FILMHIPSTER’s place the other day (that blew my email to smithereens when I chose ‘notify of follow up comments by email’). This is a very fun sequence of nude cat and mouse through the girl’s locker room with some fun – and surprisingly strong – imagery…
…some of this…
… a little bit of this….
… some of this…
… and then cute girl has been crushed to oblivion with the flick of a wrist…. : (
Do you remember back when I wrote that Mary Lou is going to win that Prom Queen tiara no matter who she has to murder?? Talk about rigging the computer results!!!
Presenting her acceptance speech!!! I don’t know if I’ve convinced you to give this a watch or not – but I hope I have. This really was a ton of fun and had NOTHING to do with the first one. Which is OK, TYSON!!!!!! : ) Check out this fun set picture I found out there (below). Everyone seems to be having FUN!! That’s what I like most in the movies I watch – when it’s obvious people are having a good time. Not tired and boring and obviously put out with what they are doing. It seems, sometimes, that people are too stressed – everyone should relax a little – relax and fire this up on Netflix! I did go ahead and queue up the next two sequels and the remake of the first one, but I am honestly not too hopeful. We’ll see!
And Brad is the coach who is inexplicably holding a basketball during a volleyball game.
AAAAAHHHHH – I’ve never been able to properly identify Brad because his pic on your about page has his face covered by what appears to be a gallon stein of beer.
And I’ll admit, that’s not my real hair.
Wait –
What???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t say it would be easy, Eric. I just said it would be the truth.
I picked the wrong week to stop freebasing.
This looks all kinds of fun! And part 2 can always be different, its part 3 that cant fuck things up
LOL @ the part 3 comment – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
This was good fun – totally!!
No shit, Prom Night 3 does fuck things up! Not as much as 4 but still.
I don’t have high hopes for the next two / three movies – but this one was ———– tits!!
Three? I wouldn’t count that awful 200-something movie as part of the canon. It’s not even a remake, IDK WTF it is.
I queued it up just to check it out. I’m not hopeful.
Dude, it’s like…rated PG-4 or something
))))
Well – I’m not gonna MARRY it or anything!!
PERV!
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!
A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-BOOOOM!
EXACTLY!!!
That scene at the beginning where she is on fire and the guy who isn’t her boyfriend is on the floor screaming “No!!!” and banging his fist simultaneously amuses and horrifies me. Presumably he is screaming and fist-banging because he didn’t get to fuck her yet, Mary Lou having just broken up with her boyfriend five minutes before? Or maybe he is screaming because she is going to be burned and ugly, instead of, I don’t know, trying to save her? Nobody thought to knock her down and roll her around beating out the flames with a tuxedo jacket, they all just stand there and watch her burn when she could have lived (but then we wouldn’t have had a movie.) Prom Night 4 is a pretty fun movie too.
Sounds good about 4!!
I really liked the burning scene – when she’s staring up at him through the flames.
And yes – you would think that, even back in the 50s, someone might have done a LITTLE bit more to help…!
I’m about half way through this on YouTube. Not bad at all, would have made a perfect Dirty Sanchez review. Speaking of Dirty Sanchez, I need to choose a film for you to review for me. ha ha ha!!!! -evil laugh-
Regarding Mary Lou – EXCELLENT! I’m glad you like it!! That’s also about when it starts to pick up!!
As for the bet – bring it!!
I didn’t get close on that contest haha
It was a true stumper!!
Am getting the next!
I was about to ask what the hell this had to do with the first one when I saw your last paragraph, lol. Definitely looks more fun than the first!
IT IS!!! You should – totes – go queue this up right away!!!
Right away!!!
Totes!
I’ll have to see if it’s on Amazon or Youtube cause it’s not on Netflix streaming.
But hopefully they will have it, like, totes!
I hope you get a chance!! You rule!!
That’s what I keep telling myself as I go on audition after audition, lol. One day I WILL be in a movie as awesome as this one sounds!!!
You forget, my friend, that we have one in the works… YOU (and me and Wes are free) are set to go in – well, you know : )
You make an excellent point. We should email so I can get my head back in the game. My web series is written. We just have to film it now. So all I have going on are work, a steady stream of auditions, my blog (hahaha at my poor blog!), writing a play and writing a novel plus Rogue. Which really is less than it sounds…at least for me…
Sounds like I can get some face time in : ) or not! Email me when you have time. The last time we spoke in email, you wanted me to fire up a schedule. I am the Anti Scheduler… : ( I am the son of a disco loving mom and i just want everyone to take it easy and we’ll fucking figure it out if there’s a problem. Lemme know, SRA Amiga.
Lol, I will email you. I HAVE to have a schedule or I will never get ANYTHING done though. *giggles*
The hair is so bad I had trouble concentrating on the boobs!
LOL!
Focus, man! FOCUS!!
OK, I’m getting focused, Oh, wow – they’re all real! No silicon! Amazing, I don’t think there are any real ones left in the world – thank god for this film.
Amen!!
HML:PN2 kicks all kinds of ass. When I first watched The Faculty and saw the naked blond locker room stalk in that movie, I pointed at the screen like Donald Sutherland in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and yelled, “MARY LOU!”
YES!!
This movie is all kinds of fun!! Excellent to meet someone else who has – seen it! – and appreciates it!!!
THANKS for the comment!!!
