The premise

When Hamilton High’s Prom Queen of 1957, Mary Lou Maloney, is killed by her jilted boyfriend, she comes back for revenge thirty years later.

Horror Vault's take

Thirty years after a scorned prom queen meets a fiery end at Hamilton High, her restless spirit resurfaces with a vengeance — and a new host body to do her bidding. What begins as a curious discovery in the school's dusty storage room unlocks something ancient and furious that has no intention of staying buried. Equal parts supernatural chiller and gleefully over-the-top slasher, this Canadian cult classic trades on high-school dread and retro style in equal measure. The prom is coming, and so is Mary Lou.
