I vividly remember first seeing this movie when I was 12, alone, on a stormy night, and right after the scene where the killer dials the phone, my home phone started ringing lol
My wife has probably been saying for two years “When is Snob going to do a video on Prom Night?” She even asked a few days ago, and starting to get angry about it. Thanks Snob, the peace in our home has been restored.
I was pretty bummed when I found out about James Earl Jones today, but this video lifted my spirit just a little. It's like a bully punched me in the face, but then a friend gave me a cookie. Thanks, Brad. I needed that.
I love that movie so much It falls into my favorite subgenre "Even tho this movie is really weird and isn't like the first one in anyway we promise it's still a sequel"
@@robotrix I like how Halloween would've technically been the first one to do the whole anthology thing but didn't And almost every other horror franchise did end up doing it Prom night, hellraiser, tcm, silent night deadly night, Chucky
Its plot may not be the best, but the disco scenes, the unintentional comedy, and the eerie trailer make up for it. My prom was nowhere near this cool-looking.
Its cool seeing leslie neilson a slasher movie as he is a versatile actor giving him the opportunity to star in slasher he will be able to handle that as a serious role
I first saw Prom Night like 4 years ago in October when it was available to watch on either Peacock or Tubi. For my senior prom, we rented a hall at the local convention center with a DJ, and we later went back to the school cafeteria for Casino Night.
Honestly the ending is pretty damn depressing. Killer gets killed by his own sister who he never targeted, the survivor is the only guy who regrets what he did. and the killer dies in his sisters arm crying out for the other dead sibling
Ironically, Jamie Lee Curtis would have been only about 20 or 21 here. She was actually the only 18-year-old cast for Halloween (19 during shooting), despite looking older and more mature.
Woo Prom Night! I saw this one a lot but sometimes got it confused in my head with Terror Train because of Jamie Lee Curtis. Still, good times. Thanks Snob!
He was almost entirely a serious actor until Airplane! and Police Squad!. He was in The Poseiden Adventure. Some of his serious roles are unintentionally hilarious, like in Day of the Animals, in which he's a rich psycho. Rifftrax thoroughly tore that movie apart. He's also a rich psycho in Creepshow
I can't wait for you to review Hello Mary Lou! I'm pretty curious to hear your thoughts on Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss as well. That one is almost a spoof. A lot of comedy in it.
The one and only thing I remembered from this Movie before a rewatch was the decapitation scene. Still to this day its one of My all time favorite Slasher Movie kills!
Just watched the 3rd one last night and it's free to watch, here on UA-cam. Tubi has all of them (including the 2008 remake) except the 3rd one, for whatever weird ass reason.
I just remembered that this movie was spoofed on Robot Chicken with the Muppets and the whole Skeeter not being with the main Muppets. Even having Steve Martin making a cameo.
Probably me i am having a sense of déjà vu with this one. I feel you already did this film and it's reboot. Then i remember i am getting this mixed up with april fools
Did you know that Paul Lynch directed one of films which was one of the earliest Keanu Reeves's roles starring with Olivia D'abo, Flying/Dream to Believe (1986)?
This is one of my favorites:):) I love the Hammonds, preferring Kim over Laurie Strode, how she relates to Alex and their dad, the story of the family dealing with their tragedy and the cops investigating, how the movie looks, and of COURSE the music. The part when Kim tells Nick that it's Robyn's day and it would've been her first prom always gets me, and of course when she sees Alex's eyes looking at the killer and makes the horrifying realization:( Leslie was great as Jamie Lee's dad, and I seriously wish she had been Becky in 'Creepshow' to come back as a water zombie and get him;)
Which cut do you prefer @cinemasnob? I've always felt like this one has some rather slow sections... then I watched the Directors Cut, and I felt like the pacing came across much more fluid.
This has a final guy as apposed to a final girl, since Jamie Lee Curtis was never an intended victim. Also there’s foreshadowing with Nick missing the killer’s phone call.
Just watched this last night, actually a pretty fun slasher, I dug most of the kills like "Slick's" death, so they tried to be somewhat creative. But the soundtrack was a lot of fun, as was some of the dance sequences, and the acting and gore was pretty solid. I do wish the story was a little better structured, but still I had fun with one.
It was this episode that I noticed in the opening theme that the line "girl of my dreams" was placed over footage of Miss Velma. I don't know if there's message there or not, but hey, I don't judge.
18:44-19:14 Ironically, six years after the release of *"PROM NIGHT",* Wes Craven's sci-fi horror film: *"DEADLY FRIEND"* was originally filmed as a PG-rated sci-fi thriller with a macabre love story, before it was changed for an R-rating.
I remember watching this a decade ago or so and can't remember anything about it other than it's a bit boring, even in the 80's slasher standard. But man that theme song slaps, I've been listening to it ever since!
Agreed that Terror Train is the better film. That had stronger mystery elements with the constant costume changes, it had more bang for its buck, and generally better directed. Plus, Terror Train had David Copperfield, who was mesmerizing. Prom Night is a little too loose in trying to make its mystery work with red herrings and a police investigation story that goes nowhere.
Prom Night: standard slasher Prom Night 2: fun if unfocused elm street/carrie ripoff Prom Night 3: bad horror comedy whose only positive aspect is how hot Mary Lou was Prom Night 4: The one that gets forgotten a lot😅 Prom Night Remake: Unfortunate example of bad 2000s remakes
What I don't understand is how the sequel is not the little girl coming back to life and exacting revenge. 🤔 Like, they missed the perfect opportunity to do that.
I really enjoyed this film when I watched it a few years ago - the characters are unusually fleshed out and likeable for a film like this. I watches it on streaming service Shudder and it was a murky VHS rip that was so dark you couldn't tell what was happening in a lot of the climax. Frustrating.
Is Prom Night 3 and 4 worth watching? I've seen the original film, Hello Mary lou and Prom night 2008. Hello mary lou is my favorite of this franchise and I never thought of it as a loose anthology. I really think The Loved Ones should've been the remake, its So much better than what we got.
The one UA-cam channel intro I never skip.
I'm watchin' my VIDEO!

@@nakenmil who else is going to teach our children (and his) the finest highbrow cinema?
"Watching my video" really is the best theme for this channel.
"SNOB SNOB cinema snob SNOB SNOB SNOB"
It fits better, but "Believe it or not" is just too iconic for me to ever concede the title of the perfect Snob intro to anything else.
"Prom night!"
"Everything is alright!"
"They put the cookie in the TOILET!"

This guy is the funniest movie reviewer on UA-cam. He could be on TV.
Doug Walker, a k.a. The Nostalgia Critic, might have something to say about that.
@@bobthebear1246 Doug Walker circa 2008-2012 maybe.
Hey, I’ve actually seen this one. I remember it being okay, and I love that Leslie Nielsen’s in it.
“If they’d watch Prom Night, they’d save time!”
I've been waiting for a Snob episode on Prom Night for a long time, and Brad didn't disappoint😊
I'm looking forward to the sequel episodes.
I just love seeing Laurie Strode… i mean Jamie Lee Curtis in 70’s and 80’s horror slasher films!
Oh, I can't wait for his review of Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 (yes, its title is laid out like that) and the madness that that movie entails.
I love that movie so much
It falls into my favorite subgenre
"Even tho this movie is really weird and isn't like the first one in anyway we promise it's still a sequel"
@@shimshamjunior The Prom Night franchise was smart and did it as an anthology.
@@robotrix I like how Halloween would've technically been the first one to do the whole anthology thing but didn't
And almost every other horror franchise did end up doing it
Prom night, hellraiser, tcm, silent night deadly night, Chucky
Tbh, that’s the Prom Night I wish got remade (good premise but it’s very unfocused plot wise and has quite a few plot holes).
Even Sailor Moon is in Prom Night 2
I still play the Prom Night disco song from time to time. 😅
Its plot may not be the best, but the disco scenes, the unintentional comedy, and the eerie trailer make up for it. My prom was nowhere near this cool-looking.
A sweet disco soundtrack is something that frankly, seperates generations!
Its cool seeing leslie neilson a slasher movie as he is a versatile actor giving him the opportunity to star in slasher he will be able to handle that as a serious role
That was actually the first thing I ever saw Leslie Nielsen in. (RIP 🌹)
Prom Night is like a mix of “Halloween” and “I Know what you Did Last Summer.”
Color me impressed that Brad had the restraint to not bring up “Sledge Hammer!” when talking about Anne-Marie Martin’s CV.
This movie was a slumber party classic. Love it so much
Got a favorite 80s slasher?
@@huntercoleman460 Friday the 13 part four comes to mind I think I’ve seen it the most, but I haven’t met an 80’s slasher I didn’t like.
@@cherylfagan3219 ever see Night of the Demon with Bigfoot?
Jamie's performance in this movie had "future Oscar winner" written all over it.
I love the look of this movie, the heavenly washed out white look is very unique
Why's it gotta be white?!?
Oh, bless you, Snob!!! I was hoping you were going to somehow fit in a Ben Tramer joke in this.
I've been missing out lately!
Same cause I'm delighted to see this
the entire chase sequence with Anne Marie Martin through the auto shop was really well done. felt realistically terrifying.
I first saw Prom Night like 4 years ago in October when it was available to watch on either Peacock or Tubi.
For my senior prom, we rented a hall at the local convention center with a DJ, and we later went back to the school cafeteria for Casino Night.
I like the seen where Jude’s like, “I’m going to remember this moment for the rest of my life.” And then the killer gets her right at that moment.
Honestly the ending is pretty damn depressing. Killer gets killed by his own sister who he never targeted, the survivor is the only guy who regrets what he did. and the killer dies in his sisters arm crying out for the other dead sibling
No one can resist the power of my Old Navy sweater 😂😂😂
Ironically, Jamie Lee Curtis would have been only about 20 or 21 here. She was actually the only 18-year-old cast for Halloween (19 during shooting), despite looking older and more mature.
Cant believe this is the first time you reviewed this franchise
The ending is heartbreaking.
Prom Night is a good time!
Nicely done, Mr. cinema snob! I hope you do the rest of the sequels and the remake soon in your next videos.
Woo Prom Night! I saw this one a lot but sometimes got it confused in my head with Terror Train because of Jamie Lee Curtis. Still, good times. Thanks Snob!
Definitely wasnt expecting the Dan "Get in my van" Schneider joke. 😅
Great show! ❤
Big fan of Prom Night 2, it pays tribute to some great horror movies!
Please do an episode on the movie Graduation Day from 1981!
It's weird seeing Leslie Nielson in a serious role like this
The problem is Leslie was so good at comedy that even watching his serious roles, still makes me laugh
He was almost entirely a serious actor until Airplane! and Police Squad!. He was in The Poseiden Adventure. Some of his serious roles are unintentionally hilarious, like in Day of the Animals, in which he's a rich psycho. Rifftrax thoroughly tore that movie apart. He's also a rich psycho in Creepshow
The prarctical effects and kther things rhey did in prom night 2 are so cool
Thats kinda why i like it more than the others
Wait. We almost had a Jan Brady prom slasher flick? Dammit.
I can't wait for you to review Hello Mary Lou! I'm pretty curious to hear your thoughts on Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss as well. That one is almost a spoof. A lot of comedy in it.
As far as slasher films go, this was honestly not a bad one.
And that ending, jeez!
Owww! Skullduggery is indeed afoot afterall!
The one and only thing I remembered from this Movie before a rewatch was the decapitation scene. Still to this day its one of My all time favorite Slasher Movie kills!
I miss the old ads for horror movies. they didn't give away the entire movie like today's trailers.
Just watched the 3rd one last night and it's free to watch, here on UA-cam. Tubi has all of them (including the 2008 remake) except the 3rd one, for whatever weird ass reason.
don't remember seeing this on video. thanks
'It was Nordberg, we all know it!' 😂😂
Nordberg would never hurt anybody!!
Well not intentionally, anyways.
That school looks like the ones in Gary, IN😔
A whole person made from Buddy Reppertons neck sweat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 too funny
I watched this last night
After that cold open, I think we need a crossover between Brad and Ryan George's Pitch Meeting.
Who knew Brock Sampson was an actor before he became a body guard?
I just remembered that this movie was spoofed on Robot Chicken with the Muppets and the whole Skeeter not being with the main Muppets. Even having Steve Martin making a cameo.
My favorite line is The van got a better death seen!
Humongous!!!
7:16
Jesus Brad, that's a dark one even for you
Probably me i am having a sense of déjà vu with this one. I feel you already did this film and it's reboot.
Then i remember i am getting this mixed up with april fools
Loved this movie. The problem is that some copies are very dark,when it comes to the final scenes.
Should've asked out Ben Treanor
Did you know that Paul Lynch directed one of films which was one of the earliest Keanu Reeves's roles starring with Olivia D'abo, Flying/Dream to Believe (1986)?
This is one of my favorites:):) I love the Hammonds, preferring Kim over Laurie Strode, how she relates to Alex and their dad, the story of the family dealing with their tragedy and the cops investigating, how the movie looks, and of COURSE the music.

What a coincidence, just saw Dead Meat kill count on Prom Night today.
Which cut do you prefer @cinemasnob? I've always felt like this one has some rather slow sections... then I watched the Directors Cut, and I felt like the pacing came across much more fluid.
You never reviewed this??
another classic horror i saw in theaters, i was an expert at sneaking into R rated movies when i was 14
This has a final guy as apposed to a final girl, since Jamie Lee Curtis was never an intended victim. Also there’s foreshadowing with Nick missing the killer’s phone call.
Just watched this last night, actually a pretty fun slasher, I dug most of the kills like "Slick's" death, so they tried to be somewhat creative. But the soundtrack was a lot of fun, as was some of the dance sequences, and the acting and gore was pretty solid. I do wish the story was a little better structured, but still I had fun with one.
6:45 was that actor in The brood?
I was thinking the guy in the van looked more like Flo from the Turtles, Mother's of Invention, and Flo and Eddie.
had to turn my head upsidedown, thought something was off about that girl on the poster xD
Pyro Disco Maddness or Flash I can't Remember when Burning up the Dance Floor before every Forgotten Slasher Attacks
And now I have Patrick Hernandez stuck in my head lmao
The little girl at the beginning must have a Mac, because she really does not like Windows lol
It was this episode that I noticed in the opening theme that the line "girl of my dreams" was placed over footage of Miss Velma. I don't know if there's message there or not, but hey, I don't judge.

Add a sweet disco soundtrack and I will watch it.
i died SO many times playing hide and seek! ahhh ... sweet childhood!
this slasher is classic.
Any chance you're doing Omen 3 for the election?
I remember watching this a decade ago or so and can't remember anything about it other than it's a bit boring, even in the 80's slasher standard. But man that theme song slaps, I've been listening to it ever since!
Biggest lesson to take away from this movie.... Ladies love the windowless vans!
6:13 "Too soon, taken from us" Epitaph written by Yoda.
A Ben Tramor Reference?😮 The World is a good place
3:41 That kid's running off to Pony Land to join Megan
Question is: Will Cinema Snob use the Prom Night disco song as a stinger in every future episode like Phelous?
Do you want to be killed by Sledge Hammer?
'Cause this is one of several dozen ways to get killed by Sledge Hammer.
It’s almost Christmas time! Garbage day!
The character of Lou looks like someone who missed out on the auditions for KING FRAT.
What is the name of the song in the intro
What is the snob theme song?
Im more excited for the sequels reviews than this one (like you said pretty generic) while the others being possession stories are way more fun to me

4 is solid. It's more of a traditional slasher movie, but a bit slowly paced.
