"ARE YOU GOIN' TO PROM?" 7:30pm Pretty In Pink – 1986, 96 mins playing with... 9:45pm Carrie –Directed by Brian DePalma 1976, 98 mins
playing with... 11:59pm Prom Night –Directed by Paul Lynch 1980, 90 mins  We round out the night with this Canadian knockoff of John Carpenter’s Halloween, which packs quite a punch with it's ominous camera angles, brutal deaths and bitchin’ soundtrack. As the teens are hunted down by an axe-wielding maniac for a childhood crime they all committed, Jamie Lee Curtis will be awarded (by me) the Prom Queen crown for being totally sexy and for her show-stopping Disco dancing routine. Here’s your chance to see a true Stalker classic before the official remake disgraces theatres later this year. Plus, there’s gonna be some killer trailers from obscure Stalker films before the film!

We kick our Prom Night off with that ancient 80’s battle: The Yuppies vs. The New Wavers. As the kooky Duckman does his best to win the heart of fellow off-beat, post-punker Andie, the “major appliance” Blaine attempts to prove that there’s more to yuppie-love than hawt cars & blonde bimbos. With the red-headed charm of Ringwald, the dramatic romanticism of Cryer, and the soft-spoken words of McCarthy (not to mention the sleeze-drenched scenes of Spader-man), nothing captures late-80s High Skool Hollywood better than this. And beware, there’s gonna be some ‘80s Teen-trailers that will be as much fun as the feature! 
Combining female empowerment, witch mythology, young adult novels & some good ol’ fashioned T&A, Stephen King’s first novel makes for the perfect big screen, blood-drenched, fright-fest. Carrie White’s (Spacek) good-natured innocence is put to the ultimate test by the most deliciously mean-spirited teenagers you ever did see. Even with the help of her Gym teacher & “The Greatest American Hero” (Katt), Carrie’s nightly battles with her over-bearing mother (Laurie) & the random cruelty from principals & neighborhood boys punctuates just how hellish High Skool truly is.
