Prom Night (1980)

"You seem a little anxious, Wendy. By the way, who are you going with tonight?"

"It's not who you go with, honey. It's who takes you home."

And boy what an imprint this one left; sure it picks up some ideas from Carrie and Halloween but #It clearly had a big influence on a lot of slashers that followed. That can be the problem with watching these films; I've seen so many #Imitators and parodies that it takes a little of the shine off these films when they're finally seen. Still this is a pretty great entry in #The pantheon and there's a lot to enjoy: a slow steady build up with realistic characters in relatable situations gives way to some very #Tense stalk and slash. Some beautiful editing work and a great score (not to mention beautifully demented choreographed disco dance scene)#Make up for the fact that the identity of the killer is obvious from a mile away. Curtis is brilliant tho; true scream queen icon

Prom Night (1980)

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

why don’t all horror flicks have a five-minute long disco dance scene? it seems like just the thing the genre is missing — but, luckily, prom night (1980) doesn’t disappoint on that front. on a new episode of spooky tuesday, we’re throwing it back to the OG prom movie as we talk about bad boyfriends, how having a sick van can help you find your soulmate, and the most jan brady-core piece of trivia we’ve ever heard. this jamie lee curtis original might not have taken off quite as much as its 70s and 80s contemporaries, but with its own set of mysterious phone calls and a shout out from scream’s randy meeks himself, you know it’s worth a watch.
