Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWritten and filmed as The Haunting of Hamilton High. The title was changed to Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II by the Samuel-Goldwyn Company who purchased it and decided to market it as a sequel. The similarities to the original Prom Night (1980), such as the name of the school, and the line "It's not who you go with, it's who takes you home", were entirely coincidental.
- GoofsIn the scene where Father Cooper and Bill Nordham are in Nordham's study talking about the return of Mary Lou Maloney, the boom mic is visible when Cooper is reading from his book.
- Quotes
Mary Lou Maloney: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three months since my last confession. I've disobeyed my parents many times. I've taken the Lord's name in vain many times. I've had sinful relations, with boys at my school. Many boys, many times.
Priest: My child, these are great sins. You must prepare yourself for the consequences.
Mary Lou Maloney: Father, there's just one more thing.
Priest: What is it, my poor child?
Mary Lou Maloney: I loved every minute of it.

The first half of this movie, I thought I was going to be disappointed. Almost like a 2000s PG-13 horror film. The only thing saving it was Michael Ironside. But it's well worth the wait. The last 45 minutes of this film are pure 80s horror gold. Plenty of full frontal nudity, lots of blood and violence--even a blowjob. There's also a brilliantly creepy rocking-horse.
Films like this demonstrate that horror of the late 1980s could offer just as much as the films of the slasher generation. This film in particular shows the stylistic differences of the new generation when compared to the original Prom Night. I think the teen horror subgenre in particular found its best expression in the late 80s with films like this and Nightmare on Elm Street 3, which were both released in 1987. And both films are very representative of their time.
If you like late 80s/early 90s teen horror that offers plenty of gore and nudity then you're gonna love this.
