Why don’t all horror flicks have a five-minute long disco dance scene? It seems like just the thing the genre is missing — but, luckily, Prom Night (1980) doesn’t disappoint on that front. On a new episode of Spooky Tuesday, we’re throwing it back to the OG prom movie as we talk about bad boyfriends, how having a sick van can help you find your soulmate, and the most Jan Brady-core piece of trivia we’ve ever heard. This Jamie Lee Curtis original might not have taken off quite as much as its 70s and 80s contemporaries, but with its own set of mysterious phone calls and a shout out from Scream’s Randy Meeks himself, you know it’s worth a watch.
