Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 (1987) VHS Movie Review
Matt and Steve discuss Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 (1987). We love Canada, we love Michael Ironside and we love Mary Lou! Join us as we try to survive prom night and the girls dying to get their crown.
Film Details:
This film was rated R, had a runtime of 97 minutes and was released to the USA on October 16, 1987.
Taglines:
-Mary Lou is back ... God help the students of Hamilton High.
-An Old Flame Returns
-In 1957, Mary Lou Maloney went up in flames. Now she's back. And she's burning mad.
-Vengeance never rests in peace!
-It's Prom Night 1957 at Hamilton High.
Directed by: Bruce Pittman
Writer: Ron Oliver (screenplay)
Stars:
Michael Ironside as Bill Nordham
Wendy Lyon as Vicki Carpenter
Louis Ferreira as Craig Nordham
Lisa Schrage as Mary Lou Maloney
Richard Monette as Father Cooper
Terri Hawkes as Kelly Hennenlotter
Brock Simpson as Josh
Box Office:
Gross in the USA was 2.6 million and the opening weekend was $911,351
Behind the Scenes:
- Almost every character in the film shares a last name with a cult film director (especially horror directors)
- Mary Lou Maloney is the only character to appear in more than one Prom Night film.
- The phone number Mary Lou writes on the confessional booth "For a good time call" was actually screenwriter Ron Oliver's home phone number at the time. No one called.
- Written 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 completely coincidental.
- The sequence with Wendy Lyon walking around the locker room fully nude wasn't written as such. In the script it was implied that she would be wearing a towel. Screenwriter Ron Oliver was startled to see the final scene as it appears.
- The poster for the film is the main inspiration of the album art for Metalcore band Falling In Reverse's 2011 album "The Drug in Me is You". Featuring the lead singer's ex-girlfriend (Mandy Murders) in a locker with her arms crossed, a rose between them, wearing a prom dress, tiara and white gloves.

Matt and Steve discuss an early 90's reject of half animation and live action. Matt loves this film! Steve on the otherhand thinks it's Ralph Bakshi giving Paramount a giant middle finger. Stick around for an Aids PSA starring EVERYONE from the 90's!
Directed by Ralph Bakshi and starring Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger and Gabriel Byrne.
