Oh man, so get this. I was at the prom getting my groove on when the big announcement came. I was NOT crowned Prom King. As I stomp about trashing the place I pull down a set of decorations which bop me right on the head. Now I can’t remember a thing. Do you remember what happened in Prom Night (2008)?
Pop Quiz Hot Shot!
1) We open in a dream where Donna Keppel confronts a stalker in her home. But it is only a dream. It is of course based on her lived experience. How many people died that night when the stalker invaded her home?
2) Uh oh, thought. The bad dude escaped! And on prom night, bad beat. How did he manage to avoid being put to death?
3) What is the theme of the prom?
4) Who won prom king and queen?
5) Uh oh, we got a twist’em’up! While the cops are searching the hotel top to bottom, how did the killer get out of the hotel?
Bonus Question: Right as I’m prepping for my screenwriting agency prom (don’t ask, we have it every year) my new agent Michael calls, what does he want?
Answers
1) Three. Her mother, father, and brother were all killed. In the end the man was caught though and put in prison and three years later she is still seeing him in her dreams.
2) A plea of insanity has, seemingly, put any possibility of death row off the table. Although … this film is certainly set in Oregon. As much as they might have expected to get a capital sentence, the death penalty seems quite fraught in the state. It has been reinstated and abolished several times over the years and the state hasn’t killed anyone since 1997. But I guess they thought this would be an exception.
3) It is very simple apparently: Hollywood. That’s it. And they went 100K over budget and the organizer’s father had to bail the prom out. Too big to fail babyyyyyyy!
4) Oooooooooo we almost don’t see it! It was just a flash on the screen, but indeed, Ronnie and Lisa are prom king and queen! Well, they would be except a split second prior to the announcement Lisa was murdered. Whoops!
5) The good guys are counting wrong because they don’t know a bellboy was strangled! So he definitely changed into those clothes and just walked right out of the hotel as the search began. What a twist!!!!
Bonus Answer: In a sinister whisper he says “I’m going to finally get you back Patrick, I’m going to kill you.” Lol, I hang up, must have been someone just pretending to be Michael, he loves me. Ah, my limo is here. As we arrive (the theme is the Oregon St one-loss season from 2000, it’s pretty sweet. My tuxedo has subtle tones of San Diego State coach Ted Tollner, and I brought a signed copy of the program from the Eastern Washington opener for the Best Prop competition), I smack the prop out of Michael’s hands and give him a major wedgie. “Lol, just joking man, I love you.” I say and I push him into a big pile of mud. During the prom though (I’m definitely going to be King, I’m always King, my prop game is always on fleek) I seem to always be narrowly escaping death? First a curtain comes down and almost cuts my head off. And then I get bumped by someone and almost fall into the giant burning Rick Neuheisel wicker man effigy. And finally someone wearing a full body Michael costume tried to stab me in the face! It was a really convincing costume too, he got arrested and they told me it was actually Michael and that I needed a new agent and everything. It was a wild costume. Regardless, I was named King as usual and high fived everyone except Michael who maybe left early (?) so I couldn’t push him into the big pool of pig’s blood I had brought in especially for him.It is called Prom Night 2: Long Live the King and it is about the bully of the school just getting his way and dunking on people.
