I hated it

I got this movie in a set of other classic horror movies includeing Carrie, because normally I love old school horror flicks, but this one just put me to sleep, wasnt worth the money I paid for the collection. Decent I guess if your easily spooked, but for someone who likes a real scare or a real horror film, this isnt the one for you.
Wow... A sequel that doesn't fail

Prom Night 2 to me surpasses the original in every way. The first one was a slasher with a revenge theme. This one deals with possession and revenge. There are no references to the original at all.
Prom Night 2 begins with Mary Lou Maloney(Lisa Schrage) being killed on Prom Night. She later returns by possessing Vicky Carpenter(Wendy Lyon). Through this ordeal Vicky's friends begins to notice several changes. Vicky is also experiancing several hallucinations. These scenes are done really well. They all present a very creepy feel to the movie. This was something I didn't see coming and it's definitly one of the strong points to this movie. Simply because the horror element worked the best here. Vicky's acting standouts the best to me. She does an excellent job portraying a disturbed and possessed person.
The movie also has some pretty good death scenes and a great shower scene. The plot never appeared slow and the suspense was there. The body count is fairly low but I don't mind it.
Prom Night 2 without a doubt is a very good horror movie to me. Even though I was expecting a slasher I'm not disappointed with this at all.
i didn't receive this.

Prom Night II is not exactly a direct sequel to Prom Night I. However I did not like any of the other Prom Night movies, except for this one, and maybe the 3rd one.
As said, it's not a direct sequel, usually when horror movies are a success and they use the name to make another one in hopes the name alone can sell it, they usually get bashed by reviews and dismissed as cheap B-grade movies.
Hello Mary-Lou is not that case. This movie is one people can truly say it's a sequel better then the original.
The movie is about a woman named Mary Lou who is a tramp. Her boyfriend she goes to the prom with becomes very unhappy when he finds she will not do it with him, but he finds her going all the way with someone else backstage of the prom.
Mary-Lou falls victim to a death that pays homage to "Carrie". She is burned in a fire and dies. Years later she returns to the school and possesses a young girl to seek revenge on those who killed her, and to finally enjoy her prom queen status, all while the typical things like people finding out and running around after her trying to stop it all.
If anyone tells you this movie is a rip off of Carrie and a few other horror movies, they need to know that, this movie is not a rip off. It was paying homage to classic horror films. It was a collection of different horror flicks rolled into one for this story.
Looking at it now, it's not the worlds greatest horror movie, but it's cool, it's funny and very enjoyable. Tho I first remember coming home one day when I was very young and my older brother was watching this, and the locker room scene scared the hell out of me as a kid, which is why I wanted to see it again a few years back ... and second time around, it was a great movie, and fun.
There is combination available on DVD for Prom Night 2 & 3. There about the only P.N movies I would recommend. 1 & 4 where pretty boring in my opinion.

Glad that now that the remake of the original Prom Night is in theatres that they finally decided to release Prom Night 2 to DVD. It was always one of my favorite Prom night stories with it super natural aspect of a dead prom queen possessing a high school girl and trying to live the dream of being queen she was denied when she died in the school gym fire in 1950s. A lot better concept than a mere serial killer. My only problem is the same as with most 1980s horror movies. That is the DVD box art. I find it weird that 1980s had the most fantastic VHS box cover art and often some of the worst DVD box cover art.
