Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II is a horror film released in 1987, directed by Bruce Pittman and written by Ron Oliver. The movie is a sequel to the 1980 film Prom Night, but it has nothing to do with the original plot. The story begins 30 years after the tragic death of Mary Lou Maloney, who was killed by her jilted boyfriend in 1957.
The movie starts with a flashback of Mary Lou's death during the prom. She is crowned the prom queen, but her former boyfriend, Billy, puts itching powder in her crown. When Mary Lou goes to the bathroom to fix her hair, Billy sets her on fire. Years later, at Hamilton High School, Vicki Carpenter is a popular student about to attend her prom with her boyfriend, Craig. However, she is lured into the school's basement and opens a trunk containing Mary Lou's old prom dress.
Once Vicki wears the dress, she is possessed by Mary Lou's vengeful spirit, who starts wreaking havoc at the school. The possessed Vicki becomes cruel, seductive, and starts killing students one by one. Meanwhile, the school principal, Bill Nordham, is haunted by his past, as he was one of Mary Lou's former boyfriends.
As the prom approaches, Vicki becomes more aggressive, and Bill and his son race to stop her before she kills more students. The movie features several suspenseful scenes, including a showdown between Bill and Vicki/Mary Lou in the school's gymnasium.
Overall, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II is a suspenseful and entertaining horror movie that has gained a cult following over the years. It features a great cast, a spooky soundtrack, and a memorable villain in Mary Lou Maloney.
