Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II 1987

As the sun set on a 1957 high school prom, Billy Nordham’s world was turned upside down when he caught his date, Mary Lou Maloney (in an impassioned clinch with another boy, Buddy Cooper), leaving him reeling from rejection and humiliation. The aftermath of their bitter breakup only intensified when Mary Lou was crowned prom queen, a crowning achievement that seemed to mock Billy’s pain. Seeking revenge, Billy orchestrated a prank that went awry, igniting the fuse on a stink bomb that would have far-reaching consequences. In a moment of chaos, Mary Lou’s dress ignited, engulfing her in flames as she screamed in horror, her eyes locked onto Billy with a vengeful intensity.

Thirty years later, Vicki Carpenter found herself at odds with her ultra-religious mother over a dress, prompting the rebellious teenager to seek solace in the school prop room. Amidst dusty relics and forgotten treasures, Vicki stumbled upon an old trunk containing the cape and crown that Mary Lou was supposed to wear on prom night. Without realizing the significance of her discovery, Vicki took the accessories and left them overnight, inadvertently unleashing a malevolent force that would soon wreak havoc on her life.

As the days passed, Vicki began experiencing eerie, nightmarish visions featuring Mary Lou’s ghostly apparition, which she confided in Buddy Cooper (now a priest), only to be met with skepticism. When Vicki’s friend Jess died under mysterious circumstances, allegedly due to an unexpected pregnancy, Billy, now the school principal, seemed immune to the whispers of a vengeful spirit at work.

Vicki’s grip on reality began to slip as she found herself entangled in a web of surreal events. Her rival, Kelly Henenlotter, became the target of Vicki’s misplaced aggression during another hallucination-induced outburst, landing her in detention. There, Vicki was possessed by Mary Lou’s spirit after being pulled through a blackboard that transformed into a whirlpool, setting in motion a chain of events that would lead to tragedy and despair.

As the days turned into nights, Vicki’s friends began to notice a profound change in her personality and fashion sense, as if she had been reborn in Mary Lou’s image. Monica, one of Vicki’s closest friends, attempted to confront her privately, only to meet a swift and merciless demise at Vicki’s hands. The once-loving teenager now stood as a vessel for the malevolent spirit of Mary Lou Maloney, leaving Billy and the rest of the school reeling in shock.

That fateful night, Billy stumbled upon Mary Lou’s grave, only to find Buddy’s corpse lying in her place, while Mary Lou herself remained at large, her vengeful spirit still seeking its next victim.

In a shocking turn of events at the prom, Kelly’s desperation to become queen led her down a dark path as she exploited Josh for his voting power. When Josh altered the outcome to crown Kelly, Vicki seized the opportunity to exact revenge by electrocuting him through his computer and reversing the vote. With the announcement that Vicki had won the title of prom queen, she ascended to the stage, her anticipation palpable as she awaited the crowning moment. However, before the coronation could take place, Billy unleashed a barrage of gunfire upon Vicki, sending the crowd into chaos. In the aftermath, Mary Lou’s spirit, now freed from its earthly confines, burst forth from Vicki’s body and wreaked havoc on the prom, claiming Kelly as her latest victim. As Billy struggled to come to terms with the carnage, his own demise seemed imminent when he took a tumble and suffered an injury.

Mary Lou, her malevolent energies unchecked, turned her attention to Craig, Billy’s son and Vicki’s boyfriend, pursuing him into the prop room with a relentless fury. In a bid to harness her supernatural powers, she attempted to utilize the mystical trunk that had once held her spirit to create a portal to the Underworld, aiming to drag Craig down into its depths. However, just as she was about to succeed, Billy arrived, crown in hand, and finally bestowed it upon Mary Lou, seemingly bringing an end to her destructive rampage. With Vicki now freed from her possession, she emerged from the trunk and reunited with Craig, while Billy offered to chauffeur them home, ensuring their safety before they departed. But just as they settled into his vehicle, Billy revealed a chilling twist: he was no longer in control, Mary Lou’s malevolent presence having taken hold of him. As Vicki and Craig cowered in terror, Billy’s car drove off into the night, leaving them to ponder their horrific fate.
