History Film / HelloMaryLouPromNightII

* SourOutsideSadInside: For her venomous attitude to her rivals (one of whom also belittles her) Kelly acts nicely to everyone else. On attempting to bribe Josh to rig the voting tally, her sad, defeated reaction to his [[SexForServices price of fellatio]] hints at insecurity.

* SequelTheOriginalTitle: Done by combining TitledAfterTheSong ("Hello Mary Lou" is a pop song from the sixties) and NumberedSequels.

* AlphaBitch: Mary Lou when she was alive, and Kelly in the present, though Kelly is more of a deconstructed type. Snide as some of her remarks are, they’re reserved for her rivals, one of whom belittles her. On attempting to bribe the school photographer to rig the voting tally, she seems genuinely hurt by his [[SexForServices price of fellatio]].

* MindOverMatter: Mary Lou kills [[spoiler:Monica]] by crushing her inside the locker that she using to hide from her.

* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Kelly does this after Jess's death, straight to the faces of the latter's best friends, Vicki and Monica, no less! Vicki doesn't take it well.

The movie actually has [[InNameOnly nothing to do with]] the original ''[[Film/PromNight1980 Prom Night]]'', other than the title, and the film's school having the same name (this is a coincidence). It was filmed as its own independent movie as "The Haunting of Hamiltom High", but the studio purposed it as a sequel to ''[[Film/PromNight1980 Prom Night]]'' in an attempt to make more money. The producer, Peter Simpson, blames this for the film's box office failure, and insists that it should be watched as it's own movie, not a sequel.

* AccidentalMurder: Mary-Lou's death by fire is caused by Billy dropping a stink bomb on her as she is crowned, which ignites her dress.
* AlphaBitch: Mary-Lou when she was alive, and Kelly in the present, though Kelly is more of a deconstructed type. Snide as some of her remarks are, they’re reserved for her rivals, one of whom belittles her. On attempting to bribe the school photographer to rig the voting tally, she seems genuinely hurt by his price of fellatio.
* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins: Mary-Lou is subdued by now older Billy by putting her prom crown on her head, which presumably satisfies the conditions of her revenge. He also decides to steal a kiss from her as a form of trying to make right what happened 30 years ago. Cue romantic flash back to the original prom. What is actually happening is that the prom queen is using the opportunity to BodySurf into the guy, who then goes on to kill his children off-camera.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: Jess chipped off one of the rhinestones on the prom queen tiara, which caused Mary-Lou's spirit to violently toy with her by dragging her around the art room by the cape from the trunk, making it look like she was going to have her head chopped off by a paper trimmer before hanging her by the cape and then throwing her body out the window.
* EvilIsPetty: Is. It. ''Ever''.
* FollowTheLeader: ''Hello Mary-Lou'' leans towards supernatural slasher genre á la ''Elm Street''.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Smug Kelly ends up having to give a blow job to win prom queen, doesn't get it, and [[spoiler: is killed completely by accident when she gets stabbed in the chest when one of the neon lights in the auditorium comes loose during Mary-Lou's rampage.]]
* MadeOfPlasticine: That neon light doesn't really look like it hit [[spoiler: Kelly]] that hard. It just kinda...fell against her. It seems like impalement would take more force.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Plenty of characters share surnames with famous horror creators: [[Creator/WesCraven Craven]], [[Creator/StephenKing King]], Romero, Browning, [[Creator/JoeDante Dante]], [[Creator/JohnCarpenter Carpenter]], [[Creator/JohnWaters Waters]], Henenlotter....
