23	[[folder:Richard Fenton]]
24	!!Richard Fenton
25	!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/JohnathonSchaech
26
27	An ex-teacher with a sexual interest in Donna. He breaks out three days before the film starts to get to Donna again.
28	----
29	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Donna obviously does not want to return any of his affections after the way he massacred her family. It's more than likely he was already this prior to their deaths because of his rampant stalking.
30	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:You won't shed tears for this {{Ephebophile}} when Winn empties his pistol into him.]]
31	* AxCrazy: Shows both sides of the coin. In the beginning of the film he is the more angry, HairTriggerTemper type, but in the present day he's more calm and measured while still extremely dangerous to someone in the same room as him.
32	* BeardOfEvil: While in prison Fenton had a moderately long beard, which he shaved to PermaStubble.
33	* BeardnessProtectionProgram: Pulls this off when breaking out of prison.
34	* BigBad: The central antagonist of the film. His sexual interest in Donna led to him murdering her family, and his escape and rampage through her prom is the focus of the film's plot.
35	* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:With Leonard Murch and Alex Hammond from the original. Murch was the sex offender who escaped from prison early in the film, Alex is the killer at the prom. These two become combined with Richard Fenton, the {{Ephebophile}} who escapes from prison and attacks the prom.]]
36	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: More like Contrasting Remake Antagonist, primarily with [[spoiler:Alex Hammond from [[Film/PromNight1980 the original.]] While Alex was a young teenager with no attractions (he's noted for being the only main character going without a date), Fenton is a full-grown man and {{Ephebophile}}. Alex is varied in his methods by using shards of glass and axe while Fenton mainly uses a knife. Alex is driven to murder the teenagers because [[TragicVillain they wronged him by killing his sister]] and won't kill anyone he doesn't have to, none of the teenagers did anything wrong to Fenton outside of knowing Donna.]]
37	* CopKiller: Has no problem killing cops if they get in his way. Just ask [[spoiler:Detective Nash and a RedShirt stationed at Uncle Jack and Aunt Karen's house]].
38	* EntitledBastard: At his trial, Fenton insisted that Donna belonged to him and that he'd return for her.
39	* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:He murdered Bobby because he was Donna's boyfriend. He even erased a picture of Donna and Bobby from Claire's phone after killing her.]]
40	* EvilTeacher: A teacher with a pedophilic interest in one of his students and slaughters several of his ex-students? Yeah he's evil.
41	* ForTheEvulz: Murders his sleeping cell-mate before breaking out for seemingly no reason.
42	* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:Tries to kill Donna when she resists his attempts to kidnap her.]]
43	* ImportantHaircut: After escaping from prison he gives himself a haircut and shaves his beard to PermaStubble to disguise himself.
44	* KickTheDog: Most of his actions really. It's hard to place where he ''doesn't'' Kick the Dog.
45	* KillAndReplace: Murders a guy known as Howard Ramsey and takes his identity to sneak into the hotel. Later on he kills a bellhop and [[MuggedForDisguise uses that disguise]] to escape the hotel.
46	* MurderTheHypotenuse: An extreme variation; his motivation in the present day is to kill everyone Donna knows so that the only person she has left in her life is him.
47	* PaperThinDisguise: The only thing Fenton uses to disguise himself is a shave down to PermaStubble and a black baseball cap.
48	* PsychoKnifeNut: A vicious pedophile who uses a knife as his main weapon.
49	* TheSociopath: A higher-functioning version, but just enough to show that there is something very wrong about him. [[FauxAffablyEvil Shallow affect]]? Check. ManipulativeBastard? Convinced a jury that he wasn't mentally fit to be executed. Need for stimulation? Commits murders (including [[WouldHurtAChild those of children]]) at the drop of a hat, oftentimes just [[RevengeByProxy because Donna knows them]]. An extreme sense of self-worth? He thinks that he should be the only person in Donna's life.
50	* StalkerWithACrush: Dear lord. [[TheUnfettered He'll stop at nothing to have his fun with Donna]]: getting fired, receiving a restraining order, murdering her family breaking out of prison, carving up her classmates.
51	* StupidEvil: At first. He left plenty of evidence at Donna's house when he came for her in the opening; if it wasn't for [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom the jury thinking he was insane]] he would have been executed by now. In the present day events however he's much more cautious and methodical, murdering hotel staff first to attain access to the rooms, and ambushing students one-by-one, [[PeekABooCorpse constantly hiding bodies to avoid detection]].
52	* VillainousCrush: The entire plot is put into motion by Fenton's lust for Donna.
53	* WouldHurtAChild: He murdered Donna's little brother in the opening.

57	!!Detective Winn
58	!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/IdrisElba
59
60	The officer who caught Fenton three years ago and winds up having to foil him again.
61	----
62	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Manages to reach Donna and kill Fenton at the climax.]]
63	* OnlySaneMan: For the police. He is furious when he learns that Fenton escaped ''three days previously'' and nobody told him. He may even be this for the entire town as he's the only adult who's not caught up in the pre-prom hype, focusing instead on trying to ensure Donna's safety.
64	%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
