* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Mary Lou's first scene has her going to a {{Confessional}} and listing various adulterous behaviour to the priest. But instead of asking for forgiveness, she instead tells him that she loved every minute of it and scribbles "For a good time call Mary Lou" on the confessional booth's wall with her lipstick.

* FullFrontalAssault: Mary Lou hunting [[spoiler:Monica]] through the locker room. Hot yet terrifying. A particularly effective illustration of the trope in that the character who is unashamedly naked is visually much more powerful and intimidating than the one who hides her nudity with a ModestyTowel, even though both are young women of approximately equal build and by rights should be much more evenly matched.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Mary Lou is the central character and the film revolves entirely around her, but Lisa Schrage only has about six-and-a-half minutes of screen-time - appearing at the beginning, end, and sporadically seen through photographs in between.

The movie actually has nothing to do with the original ''[[Film/PromNight1980 Prom Night]]'', [[InNameOnly 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 its own movie, not a sequel.

* SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror: This film has a much lighter tone than the previous ''Prom Night'', and could be considered a black comedy, but still has enough genuine terror to split it about half/half.
