    Film Details:

    This film was rated R, had a runtime of 97 minutes and was released to the USA on October 16, 1987.


    Taglines:

    -Mary Lou is back ... God help the students of Hamilton High.

    -An Old Flame Returns

    -In 1957, Mary Lou Maloney went up in flames. Now she's back. And she's burning mad.

    -Vengeance never rests in peace!

    -It's Prom Night 1957 at Hamilton High.

    Directed by: Bruce Pittman

    Writer: Ron Oliver (screenplay)

    Stars:

    Michael Ironside as Bill Nordham

    Wendy Lyon as Vicki Carpenter

    Louis Ferreira as Craig Nordham

    Lisa Schrage as Mary Lou Maloney

    Richard Monette as Father Cooper

    Terri Hawkes as Kelly Hennenlotter

    Brock Simpson as Josh

    Box Office:

    Gross in the USA was 2.6 million and the opening weekend was $911,351

    Behind the Scenes:

    • Almost every character in the film shares a last name with a cult film director (especially horror directors)
    • Mary Lou Maloney is the only character to appear in more than one Prom Night film.
    • The phone number Mary Lou writes on the confessional booth "For a good time call" was actually screenwriter Ron Oliver's home phone number at the time. No one called.
    • Written and filmed as The Haunting of Hamilton High. The title was changed to Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II by the Samuel-Goldwyn Company who purchased it and decided to market it as a sequel. The similarities to the original Prom Night (1980), such as the name of the school and the line "It's not who you go with, it's who takes you home", were completely coincidental.
    • The sequence with Wendy Lyon walking around the locker room fully nude wasn't written as such. In the script it was implied that she would be wearing a towel. Screenwriter Ron Oliver was startled to see the final scene as it appears.
    • The poster for the film is the main inspiration of the album art for Metalcore band Falling In Reverse's 2011 album "The Drug in Me is You". Featuring the lead singer's ex-girlfriend (Mandy Murders) in a locker with her arms crossed, a rose between them, wearing a prom dress, tiara and white gloves.
