Episode 41-Prom Night (1980)

Note* I wasn't aware of quality in which my microphone was working so at time I come off very hard to understand. I deeply apologize for this* 1980 was truly the beginning of the slasher genre. With Friday the 13th dominating the box office, other filmmakers were quick to realize there was money to be made in cheap low budget horror. Which brings us to tonights discussion of Prom Night starring Jamie Lee Curtis coming off the success of Halloween. When a tragic accident leaves a young girl dead, 4 friends decide to keep their role quiet. 6 years later however a mysterious killer who knows their guilt stalks them as they prepare for the school prom night. Who is this masked maniac? IS the subplot about an escaped pedophile just pointless filler? Why is this film so damned long? Could this be the best Jamie Lee has ever looked in a horror film? Join Cordell and Lucas today as we dance through this 80's slasher classic. Music- "Prom Night" by Paul Zaza and Gordon Simpson
