Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1989)
This direct sequel to Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) has Mary Lou escaping Hell and returning to Hamilton High. There she fixates on student Alex Grey. Alex's grades are average but he dreams of going to medical school. Mary Lou decides she'll ease his way through the difficult exams, improve his social standing, and remove any obstacles she sees as holding him back - including people. However, when she becomes jealous of Alex's girlfriend, Mary Lou decides to remove her for entirely selfish reasons. This entry has a different tone to the first two films, aiming one hundred percent for horror-comedy. The kills, whilst bloody, are funny, and several of the performances could have come straight from National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982). Also, the usual '80s T&A is dialled back. Sadly, actress Lisa Schrage didn't return to play Mary Lou, who is instead portrayed here by the equally gorgeous Courtney Taylor - who to her credit plays most of her scenes straight, letting the humour come out of the absurdity of the situation. As enjoyable in its own way as the second. 7/10
