Anecdotes
Casey Stevens had trouble keeping up with Jamie Lee Curtis during the filming of the dance scenes, as she was a well trained dancer who did all her own dance moves while he was inexperienced. A dance double had to be used for Stevens when the dancing got too difficult for him.

Gaffes
When Lou's friend and Alex begin fighting in the cafeteria, actress Jamie Lee Curtis accidentally screams actor Michael Tough's name instead of her character's brother's name. She quickly corrects herself and calls him Alex again.

Flashback to the Disco Age

I saw Prom Night when it was released back in 1980. So in honor of my 16 year old son's prom this past week, I decided to re-visit this clunky classic and see if I can re-capture my youth. And you know what? I think I enjoyed Prom Night better the second time around. There was actually a pretty good red-herring or two thrown in the mix to "confuse" the viewer into thinking who the killer really was. As a matter of fact since it's been so long, I forgot who the really turned out to be (I was after only 16 myself when I saw this movie 30 years ago!) and was actually surprised at the reveal.

Although there were and still are certain things that ruin the movie for me (like the fact that most of the actors look to be well in their 30s and that disco had already made a quick exit), it's kinda fun to see how campy the film really is. I recommend watching it at least once and enjoy it for what it really is: a time capsule to those lost years of the early slasher movies.
