Directed by: Paul Lynch
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen, Anne-Marie Martin, Casey Stevens
Revealing mistake: During the scene in which Lou forces himself on Kim in the lunchroom, donning a black ski mask, Kim's brother Alex jumps up to his sister's defense. Just before Alex throws his first punch, Kim screams "Michael," referring to the actor's real name Michael Tough. Kim then correctly screams "Alex," the name of the character he was playing in the film.
Revealing mistake: A close-up shot of Robin shows she's faintly breathing when she's supposedly dead.
Visible crew/equipment: When Kim is in the empty gym dancing, Wendy shows up to confront her. When the camera is on Kim you can see the boom mic coming from the bottom of the screen.
Jude: Who are you?
Slick: Seymour Crane! But, they uh, they call me Slick.
Trivia: The line "It's not who you go with, it's who takes you home" is said in every Prom Night movie, even despite the fact that the later films aren't true sequels to this one.
Question: Why in the world is Alex, when unmasked at the end, wearing lipstick? Symbolic or something?
Answer: The film doesn't provide an answer (which I think is a good thing). My interpretation is that Alex has somehow absorbed his sister's spirit, symbolically (not literally), and is avenging her death *as* Robin, in a way. Her name is his last word before he dies. A scene was shot but cut which revealed that Robin and Alex were twins. That scene was added back to the television edit of Prom Night.

Answer: Alex is not the typical one dimensional slasher serial killer, but rather a complex individual with conflicting motivations. The lipstick is a symbol that he is portraying the hurtful people from his past even as he kills them.
