How to Survive a Horror Movie Prom in 10 Easy Steps

Official Trailer - THE PROWLER (1981, Vicky Dawson, Lawrence Tierney, Farley Granger)Slasher films love making people in the present-day pay for the sins of the past—we already mentioned Prom Night, in which the killer’s motivation is very much in this vein.

Two examples, both from 1981: My Bloody Valentine’s Valentine’s Day dance, which…
