Death At The Disco! PROM NIGHT Movie Reaction, First Time Watching! 

Another channel that is literally the gift that keeps on giving.

The ending of this one is SO tragic. Kim's sister dies, all the killers either befriend her or are awful to her, her brother tries to exact pretty understandable revenge (minus Slick) and Kim ends up killing her own brother to save the guy who killed her sister. People are always saying they want a slasher sequel where the final girl from the first snaps and becomes the killer and this honestly would have been the perfect one to do it, she would have been fully justified.

This is one of the rare instances where I felt bad for the killer and their troubled ways

Proud of the stance you are taking! We love a supportive queen and will watch anything you react to on this channel.

Halloween, Prom Night, Terror Train... These are just a few examples that Jamie Lee Curtis is and will always be the original horror baddie. I love this woman. Also, wonderfully said regarding the strikes. We stand support in a corrupted world.

I love the position Alanda is taking on the strike, proving once again how much of a total badass she is. Here's a list of suggestions for indie/international films (if I get the definition of indie wrong please someone correct me): Suspiria(1977), Otesánek(2000), Isolation(2005), Grabbers(2012), The Hallow(2015), REC(2007), Deadstream(2022), Housebound(2014), Dead Set(2008) and The Descent(2005).

The look on Kim’s face when she realizes her brother is the killer is heart wrenching!!! I love this movie and the soundtrack is amazing disco frenzy!!

alanda never ceases to give us looks and wit! 🤩

Wendy: *sobbing, terrified for her life* Alanda: Oh, you should have went easy on that mascara. You out here looking racccooned. 😂😂😂😂 Never change, Alanda.

So so so proud of you for that bit at the beginning. Unions and labor rights are MASSIVELY important to all of us, regardless of industry. We owe SO MUCH to the brave organized workers of the last century, and if this strike goes well I hope it empowers EVERY industry to strike! The wealthy have been stealing the entire pie for far too long!

“I know everybody that goes to this school is an adult but damn” 😂😂

“Very sad.” (Shimmies) “Not what you want to see at all.” (More shimmies) 😂😂 Get it girl! 🕺🏼

Prom Night to me was so good when I first saw it, her brother was really out for the revenge of their sister. The way they treated her was so bad, but I loved this reaction as always.

So excited for the video, queen- you're looking STUNNING as always

I’m gonna recommend the original Slumber Party Massacre if you want something goofy but still creepy and suspenseful

I’m not sure if it’s a major studio release, but Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 is wacky and insane, and I highly recommend it. It has nothing to do with this movie and got “Prom Night 2” added to its title to get more people to see it.

“Kellyyyy, it’s been a long timeeee…” Alanda: “I shouldn’t have left you” 😂😂😂 Didn’t miss a beat with the Aaliyah reference haha.

I love your channel! Thanks for being on the right side of history. Solidarity with the workers. The Innkeepers is a great indie horror. A Ti West film; Also, Saint Maud.

I always think of Randy in Scream yelling that you have to watch Prom Night if you want to know the rules of surviving a horror movie.

You’re just such a joy to watch. Appreciate your energy. I would like to suggest watching either “Ginger Snaps” (2000) or “The Final Girls” (2015). Happy watching!

If you’re checking out movies not from the big named studios, A24 has resumed filming with their movies as they’ve followed the rules from the union! I know you’ve done a few of their movies, but they’ve got plenty of more horror in their catalogue! Green Room, Men (very polarising) and Life After Beth are all pretty good!

I would absolutely DIE to see you watch you watch Slumber Party Massacre. It's pretty bare-bones stuff not much in the way of characterization but it's an absolute classic

If they watched Prom Night, they’d save time. There’s a formula to it! A very! Simple! Formula! Everybody’s a suspect! -Randy Meeks, Scream

The creepy boyfriend/psychotic girlfriend dynamic is giving Carrie to me! And moving forward, I'm totally behind your decision to watch more indie movies during this writers strike.

Fun fact the actress who plays Wendy in high school co wrote the movie Twister and also has a small role in Halloween 2. Excited for some more indies!! Glad you enjoyed Prom Night.💕

Can we just appreciate Alanda wishing us flourishing & wishing us all the best 😫❤️ thank you for always being sweet!!

Here's the whole franchise Prom Night (1980) Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1990) Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from Evil (1991) Prom Night (2008)

Thank you for being an ally during our strike, Alanda! Also if you're looking for another independent horror film, especially one starring Jamie Lee Curtis; I'd recommend you start with The Fog (1980). Jamie made a couple of indi-slashers from this era, but I'd recommend you start with The Fog. Also, it's a heavily atmospheric ghost story, directed by John Carpenter himself.

Donnie Darko is an independent film. I’m sure you’ve probably seen it but could make for a fun reaction 🐰 Also Slumber Party Massacre is a fun classic

Completely agree w the intro, these writers are the reason why the shows and movies do so well, the least that can be given back to them is being able to eat and have healthcare. Also a recommendation for you is The Haunting In Connecticut, it’s based on a true story and I’ve loved it since I was little, it remains my favorite horror movie, main part for nostalgia but it’s also just great

Not only did it come out two years after Halloween and used the escaped psycho killer from hospital thing, it also ALSO stars Jamie Lee Curtis as the final girl

Girl, since you mentioned indie and non-english language horror movies, may I suggest Raw and Titane by Julia Ducournau? They're both sort of french horror dramas that are VERY well made and have lots of body horror. I highly recommend putting them on the list ❤

I'm glad Jamie got a chance to play a bad ass girl who can fight. Of course she's damn tall and has a reach but she's also a great actor. I think she just won an oscar, finally, and it was wonderful.

Love, love, LOVE the opening of this video - thank you for taking this stance, and thank you for speaking on it. I have some independent film suggestions: It Comes At Night Green Room It Follows The Invitation (2015) The Final Girls Hope you’re having a great summer Alanda! 😎

45:01 - "If he really wants to live, that Chia head will fight." (LMAO)

Here are some good international horror films for you to consider until the strike ends (hopefully in favor of the workers 💪): - The Innocents (England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, 1961) - Suspiria (Italy🇮🇹, 1977) - The Devil’s Backbone (Spain🇪🇦, 2001) - The Orphanage (Spain🇪🇦, 2007) - Let the Right One In (Sweden🇸🇪, 2008) - Terrified (Argentina🇦🇷, 2017) Some of them are on Netflix. Loved your reaction, as usual 🎉

Two of my favorite horror classics worth checking out are John Carpenter's "The Fog" (from 1980) and Wes Craven's "Shocker" (I believe from 1989).

Thank you for your candor around the strikes! It’s such a great example of how to show solidarity in this moment ❤

I just found your channel the other day Alanda and I love your content! Your commentary is hilarious. Thanks for making great content 😊

Hey girl! If you’re going to do more international films, 1977’s ‘Suspiria’ is a must!! The plot is thin but the visuals and music score are iconic!

Girl you always bring that beautiful energy to the intros and its very much appreciated 🌻🌻

OMG Love Prom Night 🪩🩸 One of favorite slasher movie of all time! Scream Queen Jamie Lee, Disco dance, and full on horror! Couldn’t ask for anymore! 👑

I thought it was the parents too! I was sad that it was Alex...he was such a good big brother to Kim. And yeah that end credit song is amazing and it plays all the time on my playlist. It is Gordene Simpson and called Fade to Black.

Thank you for supporting our industry. :) I think your approach is very fair and supportive.

Awww… so happy you watched this! It’s been a lifelong favorite of mine. I have so many fond memories watching this movie through the years! Jamie Lee cemented her scream queen title with this, Terror Train and The Fog back to back to back. I am with you- the story is simple but I think the atmosphere really sucks you in. It feels very slide of life at times and grounded in a way some slashers from the era weren’t. We find the characters sympathetic; the victims and the killer (once the motive is revealed especially!). And the SOUNDTRACK is disco perfection. All of the songs are “originals” but most are soundalikes to huge hits from the time. The Blu-ray has a really fantastic featurette about the making of the film. I hope you watch some more of the lesser known slashers like this- even tho this one has 3 “sequels” and a remake, all of which are in name only. Love it! ❤

You said foreign films, girl I got you: Pulse (Kiyoshi Kurosawa is a genius and this is genuinely the scariest film I’ve ever seen), Thirst (Korean film, the sexiest vampire film ever made), Midnight (another Korean film, INSANELY tense and so much fun), The Call (on Netflix, a Korean film with some WILD twists and turns), High Tension (French, very twisted… I’ll leave it at that, lmao)!

You're a beacon of light, always!! Proud of you and loved the reaction! You had me 🤣 with the Fergie "shut up" 💙😂

Did I just watch your PSA twice? Yes, yes I did 😅 Bra. VO 👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻👏🏻 That's such a great idea to write them, as I'm sure a ton of our beloved reactors would love to know how to proceed too. The Reel Rejects put out a video about this too, about how they're trying to navigate it, so you're not alone. But I appreciate how dedicated you are to standing strong with everyone trying to make sure their voice is heard 🥰

Another suggestion for the indie horror list I think you’d really like: Night of the Comet. Cult 80’s tongue-in-cheek camp about two valley girls not only surviving but thriving in a zombie apocalypse. One of the direct influences to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The dancing while saying that’s not what you wanna see at all fully sent me 😂 you’re hilarious

Wendy walked so Helen shivers could run there chase scenes are both iconic

Absolutely respect your stance on everything happening with the strike, and look forward to whatever you decide to cover in the future here. When you said Indie films, I immediately thought of It Follows (2014).

My level of respect for your work and yourself Alanda, just went through the roof by bringing awareness to the writers strike. To be clear I already loved your content. I just love it even more now 😊❤️

"Martyrs" is an unforgettable watch. Thanks for your support.

This is, by far, one of the best 80s slashers. It won't win any Oscars, but I've always believed it was well-made, it's atmospheric, and the acting is a cut above a LOT of other slashers of the day. The fact that Kim killed her brother just means she and her family are going to need a lot of therapy in the future. There's another cut of this movie on RU-vid that excludes that Leonard Murch/Schizo killer guy and focuses more on the family and their trauma since Robin's death. It also points to the dad as the killer in a few scenes. I like the other cut, but either way, I love this movie, and I'm glad you love it, too.

I love the first 9 minutes when you're just talking about the strike, etc. I love the solidarity with the workers and honestly, it's just fun listening to you talk. You could make a 3 hour video just talking about whatever and I'd watch the whole thing.

You are the only reaction channel I personally follow respecting the strikes. I'm sure it would be too risky for a lot of reactors, including you, so I think you deserve even more credit for this. Applause girl! There's PLENTY of old and new indie horror to choose from for the coming weeks/months and I'm sure we're all here for it.

I don't care what the definition of "Influencer" is, your content makes me laugh, and fills my soul with joy! And THAT is Influence I support 💯 %!! And I really appreciate your announcement at the beginning also. Your passion, not just for pop culture but the people and the work that creates it, is genuine and heartfelt! As far as Indie horror, I think CUBE is a great ride, with cast I didn't recognize but does an outstanding job!

Idk if it qualifies but ‘the Stuff’ from 1985 is a campy horror delight and a an absolute joy to experience.😍

Love you, girl! So impressed by your well-thought out stance regarding the strike. My recommendations for indie/international films are: • REC (2007) (Spanish); • REC2 (2009) (Spanish); • The Descent (2005) (UK) [You will love this one, I think.]; •Suspiria (1977) (Italian); • Let the Right One In (2008) (Swedish)

It follows (2014), The Night House (2020), The Invitation (2015), Spree (2020), Cam (2018), The Blair Witch Project (1999), The Guest (2014) and Coherence (2013)

15:46 Without a dope beat to step to! Thank God there is someone else out there who can't help but say that when there hear "It's been a long time..." . I was beginning to think I was the only one

This is like a dream come true watching you react to this!! Thank you for speaking on the strikes. Every voice matters.

Alanda never fails always gives a good time every week thanks again girl. Love the disco music playing in the background while the killer is trying to stab people lol it's so extra and I love it what we're here for ❤

"At least let her zip her dress..." You were hilarious reviewing one of my favorite slasher movies!

I’d love to see you react to *Don’t Look Now* (1973). It’s visually stunning and has an ending you will never forget!

The whole dance sequence with Kim and Nick is so iconic.

I hope you are doing well. You look amazing, girl! ❤❤🎉 I'm glad you are reacting to this!!

“Here comes the glitter defender” lol 😂 I love your reactions! And is that a small photo of the Buffy Summers on your nightstand!? Queens supporting queens☺️

There are three sequels to this movie. Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1989) & Prom Night IV: Deliver Us From Evil (1992) Then there is the remake of the same name, from 2008.

"Mollywhoppin a bitch with a ladle" made me spit my drank out. Bravo Alanda,bravo

SO ecstatic to see you watch this, it is one of my absolute favs! you really nailed it with how the movie is simplistic and gives us very little, but yet gives us so much at the same time. it’s just the perfect little slasher film and Jamie slays. Wendy still has one of my favorite chase scenes as well! 💛 also i really admire and respect your support of the strike! i’m so down for more indie films!!!

Thank you so much Alanda for your serious information on what else is going on with the actors on strike. I FULLY SUPPORT what their going through. We got to so they can get what they deserve through what help they’ve done in movies and television program’s entertaining us throughout the years. I really hope Freddy’s Dead isn’t on your list of needing to wait to watch together cause I know how much your wanting to see what’s gonna happen with Nancy Thompson on episode after Freddy’s Dead. Of course I watched it decades ago so I’m burning up with anticipation for you to watch as well. Again lots of Love on your supporting in your ways to help what’s going on. 😊

Perfect time for me to re-request the campy great time that is 1988’s Night of the Demons 😊😊😊😊

The WAY I was just thinking about this movie the other day and you already have a reaction! I have to say I'm always down to watch any reaction of whatever movie you watch! Literally one of my faves! I went through a indie horror movie phase and this was on the list. Overall a decent movie for an indie film. A horror one at that! Personally I wish we knew why they wasn't rocking with my good sis Robin 😢. I see what you mean regarding like the styles of Halloween influence. I think a lot of 80s horror tried to get in on the "Horror Holiday" train. I know I already saw suggestions for Terror Train (I think a must watch for indie horror fans) I also suggest: The Children (1980), The Omen, April Fool's Day, Happy Birthday to Me, The House on Sorority Row

Watched this over the weekend, so campy and fun! And surprisingly restrained for a horror, they really took their time. Idk if anyone has mentioned it yet, but I believe It Follows is totally independent, so you can finally finish off Tara’s list of elevated horror!

girl this look is perfect to a "the craft" theme party

Alanda you always give me life! (And as a fellow buddy of mine who also is a gay NYC horror buff, he told me that you are New York as well so LOVE that if that's true!!) I always said that the song "Prom Night" literally sounds just like Cheryl Lynn's "Star Love." Both great songs! Wendy's chase is pretty epic, I feel like we wouldn't have Helen's chase in I Know What You Did Last Summer without this one. But yeah....she deserved it lol. Not high art, but a very fun slasher. Your reactions are just the best!

thank you for your words on the strike

Thank you for speaking up on this. I agree that this is a larger issues on worker rights. This is a wage issue so many workers in different jobs are facing and it’s important we stand in solidarity with one another. Also my first thought when I turned the video on is how FABULOUS you look! Wendy has one of the best chase scenes in a slasher in my opinion. It’s up there with Helen Shivers and Gale Weathers. Great reaction ❤

Some recommendations off the top of my head, i tried for indie horror so sorry if i made some mistakes: Planet Terror (2007) Death Proof (2007) Hellraiser (1987) The Perfection (2019) Let the Right One In (2008) Also good opertunity to check out Ju-On: The Grudge & Ringu. Non-horror, LGBT: - Wildhood (2021) - Handmaiden (2016) - Sex of the Angels (2012) - Rafiki (2018)

Damn... I forgot how BLEAK this movie was. That girl lost two siblings! I feel so bad for her, man. I also have a few movie suggestions that you could end up checking out as well. The Void. The Ritual. FearDotCom. Darkness Falls. Hellraiser. Trick R Treat. The Unbreakable trilogy. Cube. and... Dead Silence.

Storm Warning (2007) is an Australian film. Its a movie that makes you suffer But they reward you with the kills.

Looove that you're starting to watch some B-slashers from the 80s, Alanda! I highly recommend two that I think you would like: THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982) - a cult classic considered to be a feminist slasher, written and directed by women - and also STAGEFRIGHT/DELIRIA (1987), which is a very stylish and creepy forgotten gem with influences of giallo and an unforgettable killer outfit.

Fun footnote about PROM NIGHT is that after it's theatrical release, NBC premiered it in prime time as their Sunday Night Movie in February 1981, before it had even gotten a cable run. It may have been the first "slasher" movie to air on free TV; HALLOWEEN didn't air on TV until October 1981, also on NBC. Very few of these movies ever got run on network TV, they were obviously considered too violent. Most of the time they went directly into syndication on individual TV stations, if at all.

As usual our stunning queen of the horror scene returns with a look worthy of the gods.

80k subscribers (myself included) is NOT a small platform. Nothing travels further & faster than word of mouth. Your voice matters.

Some independent movies to consider: 47 meters down, creep, compliance (2012 - more of a dark thriller based on a real event), Terrifier (2 has the best synth music!), Slumber Party Massacre, Saw?, Planet Terror.

Here are a few films you can watch (Fargo 1996, The Hitcher 1986, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil 2010, The Final Girls 2015, Better Watch Out 2016, Beast 2017, and Bloody Hell 2020) are two unique horror thriller indie/independent films. Love that you are showing your support for the actors and writers on the recent strike.

Cookie's Fortune is my indie suggestion. Great story, glorious cast, and Patricia Neal's voice is like butter.

Another fantastic reaction! Glad to see you taking a stance on what's happening with SAG. For a film suggestion, perhaps The Void? Canadian Indie Horror film with major Lovecraftian vibes!

Yes! Union strong! Go WGA/SAG-AFTRA! An indie horror from 1981 called JUST BEFORE DAWN would be great to hear your thoughts on. It's actually pretty good and it has probably the best Final Girl final battle endings in all of horror - unbelievably clever and unforgettable.

I had no idea how much the strike actually affected other forms of media like influencers( I’m also on board with the actor’s and writers strikes). Idk if this is in your wheelhouse but there’s an animated horror drama called Perfect Blue🐟

This was a great movie! Another great reaction sis 🙂 those kids were menacing....and they got got! I felt sorry for Kim cause in the end she lost both her sibs! Heartbreaking for sure 😭💔

Throwing Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) into the ring! Low-budget wholesome bloody indie horror-comedy, would love to see your reactions/commentary. As someone in the industry and watcher of every video you GOT, much love to you!

Jamie is so good in horror films, that's her genre as an actor. Hello, Mary Lou, Prom Night II is the sequel. She's been versatile in trying others throughout the years, but this really suited her. She did three films in 1980 (my birth year): This one, Terror Train (with David Copperfield), and The Fog. She was busy as an actor all throughout the 80's. A different side of Jamie would be the film Road Games. So different seeing Leslie Nielsen in a horror film, not usually his forte. Nice reaction. I do suggest the 1981 horror film The Funhouse starring Elizabeth Berridge. She was the "babe" in the it. Thanks! Oh, btw, a unique sci-fi film to check out with Jennifer Connelly is called Phenomena. Donald Pleasance aka Dr. Loomis is in it.

I cannot wait for your Midsommar reaction 😍😍😍 sending you emergency hugs in advance. Thanks for the love , warmth and wit as always ❤

I'd suggest foreign films too if you wanna avoid any grey area films too? Or like super old ones in the public domain. The original Ringu abd Ju-On are great foreign options alongside The Devil's Backbone I think? The Prom Night sequels are absolutely batshit insane and are such a different type film that you'll love. Will you be watching Scream the series too? I think you'd get some fun out of it and keeps very similar vibes as the main series.

Give this lady an award for being top tier RU-vid!! Love her reactions

A lovely classic! Terror Train should be on your list too! Also, The House on Sorority Row, along with the remake, Sorority Row!! Please Alanda??
