Prom Night 2: Hello Mary Lou
Directed by Bruce Pittman
In this supernatural sequel to the slasher classic PROM NIGHT, sexually voracious bad girl Mary Lou Maloney is burned alive after winning prom queen in 1957. 30 years later, her spirit returns to possess Vicki, a cheerleader who’s been chafing under her parents’ repressive rules. Mom and Dad soon get an eyeful after Vicki starts acting out, but Mary Lou is more focused on revenge on the man who caused her early exit from Earth – who’s now the school principal. A fun and frothy mashup of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 and CARRIE, PROM NIGHT 2 is an essential entry in the ‘80s slasher-sequel canon.
In this supernatural sequel, the spirit of a sexually voracious teen possesses a high schooler.
Cast: Lisa Schrage, Michael Ironside, Wendy Lyon

“Campy” is correct, and an absolute delight. I also watched this over and over as a child. Looking forward to doing it again now as an adult.
I remember this movie as a kid. I watched it over and over. Campy but a classic. Better then the first, sorry Jamie Lee Curtis
Love this campy ass movie! The ghost aspect makes this movie feel like its own thing from part 1. Both good (anything with young Jamie Lee Curtis is gold), but this one’s a little funner.
Good campy movie. Entertaining and at least one good jump scare.
One of the best, 1980’s, horror flicks. The Canadian approach is clearly different than the American studio approach to teen oriented horror.
