00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:08.919
We often hear let sleeping dogs lie, often referring to allowing the past to

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:15.599
simply be the past. But much
like a dog, it will wake up

3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.079
and all of a sudden you're going
to find out exactly how sharp their teeth

4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:36.799
are. What's that you want to
be scared? Come with me. You

5
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:44.719
will experience tales over opera, ghosts
and death. It is not recommended at

6
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:52.640
the foot the week at heart listeners
in the dark, It's more fun than

7
00:00:52.719 --> 00:01:07.799
that way. This is Weekly Speaking. Hello, my spookies, It's Wednesday,

8
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.640
and you know what that means.
It's time for a little spooky in

9
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.840
your Weekly I'm your host and narrator, Enrique Khuto, and my, my

10
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.920
my, it's that time again,
time for another delightfully devious mini series.

11
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.120
That's right, this is the first
episode of prom Night of the Dead.

12
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.239
But before we get to that story, I want to let you in on

13
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.079
a little secret. This Friday,
right here on Weekly Spooky, we're debuting

14
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:48.280
a brand new program, one that
I think you'll really enjoy, especially if

15
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:53.120
you love the spooky stories and the
spooky movies the way I do. It's

16
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.719
called Cutting Deep into Horror. Myself
and my co host Sealise are going to

17
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.959
talk about many, many different horror
films and what their meanings are and what

18
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.560
the meaning is to us as people. We're going to dig deep. We're

19
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.280
going to talk about expressions of horror
and terror and trauma and abuse, all

20
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.840
kinds of things that make scary movies
scary. I'm really excited about this first

21
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.840
episode, so I hope you check
it out this Friday and enjoy it.

22
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.800
And hey, we'll do a new
episode about every month or so, maybe

23
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.280
even more if you all tune in. But now, my spookies, it's

24
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.719
about time to start Part one of

30
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.319
I guess even though it's summer,
school is about to be back in

31
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:22.280
session. After these quick words,
prom Night of the Dead Part one by

32
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:31.520
Rob Fields Prologue prom Night two months
ago, Lillian Johansson and her boyfriend Randy

33
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:38.400
Ullery were dancing to a slow song
in the Strickfield High School gymnasium where the

34
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.680
Junior and Senior prom was being held. As Lilian looked around, she saw

35
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:50.439
that many people were in attendance from
both classes. She easily saw the beautiful

36
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.960
and busty Taylor Mirren, the previous
year's Junior Crown winner, and knew she

37
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:02.000
would easily win the Senior prom Queen
crown too. Just as Taylor Miren was

38
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.520
the front runner for her classes crown, Lilian felt deep down that she would

39
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:14.479
win the Junior class crown. The
day when Principal Matthew Vandiste announced the nominees

40
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.079
for the Junior Class Crown, he
called out Lilian's name first. Lilian had

41
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.920
dreamed of this moment ever since she
had seen the family photo album of her

42
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:30.959
aunt and the current Strickfield High drama
instructor Devin Decker, after she won the

43
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.759
Senior Class crown years ago. Lilian
was a spitting image of Anne Hathaway from

44
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:43.120
her Disney years and was the complete
opposite of Taylor Miren in almost every way.

45
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.000
Lilian was one of the nicest girls
you would ever meet. While she

46
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.120
didn't come from money and prestige the
way her senior class counterpart did, she

47
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.839
believed in her morals and felt they
would carry her to becoming a prom queen.

48
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.040
As Lilian danced with Randy, she
was happy that he was there,

49
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.319
for Lilian had known Randy since the
sixth grade. They became a couple midway

50
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.399
through eighth grade, and now here
they were at their first of two proms.

51
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.079
Randy and Lilian were a power couple
in the junior class. Randy himself

52
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.319
was the son of Philip Bullery,
who was known as the friendliest mailman in

53
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:29.639
Strickfield and was also a village councilman. This made Randy a popular student by

54
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.240
default. Also, he was just
as nice as Lilian. When the slow

55
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.680
song was finished and Randy and Lilian
decided to leave the gymnasium for a little

56
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.519
bit, the two of them went
into a dark part of the hallway and

57
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.480
talked. Soon they started making out. Lilian had promised herself she would give

58
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.879
Randy her virginity once they had left
the prom and went to their hotel room.

59
00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:01.000
Suddenly they stopped kissing when they both
felt they weren't alone. They turned

60
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.319
and saw Lilian's older sister, Cameron, leaning up against a wall and staring

61
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:13.040
hard at them. Seriously, what
do you want now, Lilian demanded.

62
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:18.480
Cameron moved from the wall and smirked, Randy, you do realize my sister

63
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:25.519
couldn't give two shits about you,
right. Lilian became angry and tightened her

64
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.399
fists. Cameron, just leave us
alone, please, Cameron laughed a little.

65
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:39.600
Leave you alone. You have something
that belongs to me, little sister.

66
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:46.319
She pointed at Lilian. You were
the one who stole Randy from me.

67
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.000
You knew how I felt about him, and you didn't care. You

68
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.759
just take, take, take.
Lilian shook her head quickly. No,

69
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.319
I didn't get arrested for stealing and
starting fights because you found out about Randy

70
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:08.160
and me. You going to Juvie
was all on you, Cameron pointed at

71
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.519
her. Because of you, and
thanks to you, all my college applications

72
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.480
were rejected. Now I got to
take summer school. If I want to

73
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.720
graduate here, then it's only going
to be some stupid community college in North

74
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:28.399
Ridgeway for me. All because you
had to steal Randy away from me.

75
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.399
So what you found out he was
going away to college. So you fucked

76
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:40.040
me over by stealing Randy, so
you can get out of this shiphole village.

77
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.480
Cameron came and got in Randy's face. I mean it, Dump Lilian,

78
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.199
or she'll dump you when you can't
give her what she wants anymore.

79
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:57.480
Randy groaned and pushed her away.
Just leave Lilian alone. Cameron retaliated by

80
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.720
grabbing Randy's shoulders and kneeing him hard
in the groin, sending him to his

81
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.759
knees. You won't ever have to
worry about having kids with my baby sister

82
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.720
if you ever touch me again like
that. She backed away. Go ahead,

83
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.560
stay with Lilian like I said,
She'll leave you when you least expect

84
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:26.079
it. She laughed scornfully and walked
away from them. Lilian sighed sadly as

85
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.720
she helped Randy up. We both
love you, and you chose me.

86
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.480
I can't believe she got so violent
when you did. She never used to

87
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.200
be like that. Randy put gentle
hands on her shoulders. Don't blame yourself,

88
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.960
Lilian. She made her choices and
went to Juvie and Pendleton for them.

89
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.840
She sighed again, you're right.
Their eyes met and they kissed passionately

90
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.080
again. The more they kissed,
the more Lilian knew she could wait no

91
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:05.600
longer. When they stopped kissing,
Lilian took Randy's hand. Let's go somewhere

92
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:11.519
where we can be alone. Lilian
and Randy went into one of the many

93
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.879
empty classrooms. Lilian pulled the door
shut and turned to face Randy, who

94
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.559
was now transfixed by her beautiful smile. Then she approached him to help him

95
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.919
remove his tucks jacket. As Randy
started to unzip her dress in the back,

96
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.519
they heard some loud rucas in the
next classroom over. Oh, come

97
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:41.159
on, Lilian groaned really as she
moved away from Randy. He reached out

98
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.039
for her. Lilian, don't.
Lilian reached the door and opened it to

99
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.960
hear screaming as Sheryl Blint, one
of the senior class prom queen candidates,

100
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.679
ran right past her, holding up
the skirt of her dress as she booked

101
00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:01.480
it barefoot down the hallway. What
the Lilian muttered? Lilian, come on,

102
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.679
Randy protested, get back in here. As Lilian pulled the door shut,

103
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.320
Laura Lee Hardy, another senior class
prom queen candidate, suddenly appeared right

104
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.200
in front of her. Lilian saw
laure Lee's jaw was tightened. What was

105
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.159
more, Laura Lee had a knife. Lilian's eyes opened wide as her life

106
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.440
flashed right before her eyes. Before
Lilian could move away, before Randy could

107
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:35.360
move to try and save her,
Lauri Lee hardy raised the knife and ran

108
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:43.360
it across Lilian's throat, slicing through
her delicate skin like warm butter. Lilian

109
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.879
gurgled as she held her hand to
her new gushing smile. But laure Lye

110
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.159
wasn't finished just yet. Stupid slut, Laura Lee muttered in a deeper,

111
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.759
manly voice as she grabbed Lilian by
the back of her hair and quickly stabbed

112
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.919
her in the stomach three times.
Then Laura Lee shoved Lilian to the floor

113
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.279
and continued her pursuit of Cheryl Blint
to the gymnasium and the prom itself.

114
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.559
Randy was quickly on his smartphone to
nine one one to yell for an ambulance

115
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:24.759
for Lilian, not that it would
have mattered. After dropping the phone,

116
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.039
he dropped to Lilian and cradled her
slain, bloody body in his arms.

117
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:37.879
Oh God, Lilian, no,
he choked through tears. Randy held Lilian

118
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:43.279
until the paramedics had finally arrived for
her. When they officially confirmed her death,

119
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.159
Randy continued to hold her body as
he sobbed and cried. Finally,

120
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.440
Randy relinquished Lilian to the paramedics for
them to take her to the Strickfield General

121
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:07.159
Hospitals, Morgue. Two months later, Monday morning, Ronnie Brunswick walked into

122
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.759
Strickfield High the very next day after
graduation. She quickly had to turn around

123
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.480
and flick the cigarette she had in
her mouth back outside. After coming back

124
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.759
in, she blew out the menthol
smoke she held in her lungs right inside

125
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.720
the building. Fucking hell, Ronnie
muttered. She walked the hallway until she

126
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:35.799
came to Room twelve, where she
was to begin summer school. Ronde Brunswick

127
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:41.240
glad you could make it and on
time. Principal Matthew van Deiste cheered when

128
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.679
she walked in. She glared at
him with utter hatred. The name's Ronnie

129
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:54.200
and you can get fucked. Principal
van Deiste was used to Ronnie's outbursts as

130
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.600
well as her choice of words.
She flipped him off and started to walk

131
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.399
to the back. No, No, Ronda Principal Van Deist called out.

132
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.200
When she turned around, he pointed
to a chair at the very front.

133
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.559
This seat right here has your name
on it. Sit. Ronnie tightened her

134
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.639
jaw and resumed going to the back. I'll fucking piss where I please.

135
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.639
As soon as she sat down,
Principal Vandist gestured her way. Ronda here

136
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.559
like a few of you are in
my class because, simply put, you

137
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.159
won't graduate if you don't pass either
government or economics. Now some of you

138
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.159
are juniors getting a head start on
senior year, which is great. People

139
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:48.519
like Ronda are here because they can't
be bothered to come to school. Ronda

140
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.879
is also under a plea bargain with
Strickfield PD. She has to take my

141
00:13:52.960 --> 00:14:00.159
classes and pass both of them to
graduate. If she doesn't pass, she

142
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:05.480
doesn't graduate. If she doesn't graduate, she goes right to prison at Glenview

143
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:11.440
for prostitution. Isn't that right?
Ronda? Now come up here and sit,

144
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.639
or I'll just flunk you right here
and now, then you can write

145
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.960
me hate mail from your prison cell. Ronnie was heaving by the time he

146
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:26.320
finished, and shot up, I'm
gonna fucking kill you. As she started

147
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.240
to rush at him. A guy
quickly got out of his seat and wrapped

148
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.279
his arms around her, hugging her
close to keep her from Principal Vandist.

149
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.799
Just stop, the guy said,
calmly in her ear. Let me go.

150
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.000
Ronnie yelled, you want to go
to prison. The guy asked her,

151
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.919
still quite calm, Is he really
worth it? The guy continued to

152
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.559
hold Ronnie close until he felt her
heaving slow and finally stop. He stepped

153
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:03.159
back and looked her in the face. She looked back at him. When

154
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.639
he saw he had diffused her,
he stepped aside and let her walk to

155
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.399
the seat Principal van Deist had reserved
just for her. Before she sat down,

156
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.919
she pointed right at van Deist.
Don't be staring at my fucking tits.

157
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.080
When Ronnie sat, she glared at
the principle as she folded her arms

158
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.720
in front of her, pushing up
her already evident breasts. More thank you,

159
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.519
Derek, Principal Vandiste said to the
guy who stopped Ronnie from attacking him.

160
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.840
Ronnie looked around and saw some of
the people she would be in room

161
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:45.440
twelve with for thirty summer school days, fifteen for government, fifteen for economics,

162
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.679
with July fourth being on a Saturday. Unfortunately for her, she needed

163
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.799
to pass both classes if she wanted
to both graduate Strickfield High and not go

164
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:02.480
straight to prison. It was no
secret to some students that Ronnie Brunswick was

165
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.679
a girl who came up hard.
She lived on her own in an apartment

166
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.679
at Strickfield Cove, the very same
apartment Laura Lee Hardy lived by. By

167
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.720
this time, laure Lee Hardy came
to be known as the prom Queen Killer

168
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.440
and the creator of the event that
would be forever known around Strickfield as the

169
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:29.799
Prom from Hell. Ronnie couldn't wait
to move into the apartment upon hearing this,

170
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:36.840
especially since the landlord offered her discounted
rent and free utilities just to fill

171
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:45.080
that particular seemingly unfillable vacancy. Some
students actually believed that laure Lee Hardy was

172
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:51.600
possessing Ronnie, which made her laugh. Ronnie was also a drug dealer and

173
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.559
a self employed prostitute. She certainly
dressed the part with her halter top that

174
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:02.519
barely contained her breasts, her Denham
booty short, and her stiletto heels.

175
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:07.640
She wore dark eyeshadow, blush,
lip gloss, and nail polish. Her

176
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.680
dyed mix of silver and black hair
certainly added to her sex appeal. Ronnie

177
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.559
definitely had no problem finding clients willing
to pay her rates. It was at

178
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:26.160
a campus fraternity party where Detective Drake
Kasmarak had arrested her for prostitution while going

179
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:32.640
under cover at Strickfield University. This
wasn't Ronnie's first meeting with Detective Kasmarak.

180
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.079
Ronnie had been arrested for vandalizing Principal
Van Diast's house when she spray painted choice

181
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:45.160
words in artistic graffiti fashion on the
front of his house and garage. Detective

182
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:49.359
Kasmak had been on his way back
to the station after wrapping up a case

183
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:55.759
and had seen Ronnie finishing her artwork. Ronnie was a miner at the time

184
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.119
and was sent to the Pendleton Juvenile
de Tension Center. Now now Ronnie was

185
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:07.640
an adult when Detective Chasmack caught her
prostituting herself at Strickfield University. He learned

186
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.680
that Ronnie was academically smart, even
though she was a troublemaker. She started

187
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.759
off high school on the right path
and was smart enough to be able to

188
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:21.960
skip sophomore year. After that,
she seemed to make a complete one eighty.

189
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.279
Not only did Ronnie get worse,
she was on the verge of not

190
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:32.839
graduating and prison. Now. After
talking to and listening to Detective Chasmak,

191
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.279
the judge decided not to send Ronnie
to prison and offered her an alternative sentence.

192
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.240
She would go to summer school and
pass the two classes she needed for

193
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:49.519
graduation, pay for the damages to
Principal Van Deist's property, and perform community

194
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:55.920
service. Failure to adhere to any
of those conditions would result in her losing

195
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:03.000
her probation and going straight to the
glen View Directional facility outside of North Ridgeway.

196
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.920
Now Here, she was right in
front of the man she hated.

197
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.319
Sure she would pass his classes,
but she was definitely going to have some

198
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:18.319
fun with him along the way.
Also, she had business with some of

199
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:23.680
the students in that very classroom.
Ronnie immediately saw a Primrose Mirrn and laughed

200
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:29.319
inside at the thought of the rich
girl being an airhead. She knew Primrose

201
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.480
never opened a textbook, not once. Now she was too busy on her

202
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.400
smartphone and getting popular on social media, which got her sent to Principal Van

203
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:45.240
Diast's office. Several times she could
dress like a proper princess, but what

204
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.960
good was it if you didn't have
booksmarts. And then there was Samuel Wormton,

205
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:55.839
the worm to most everybody, no
doubt he was there to get the

206
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.720
credits so he could graduate early.
Ronnie knew he had made had money off

207
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:06.599
many students by writing papers and doing
homework assignments for them. How many times

208
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.519
had Ronnie seen Primrose Miron giving him
money. Ronnie also knew the two of

209
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:18.400
them liked each other. She knew
Randy Ullery, but who didn't. He

210
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.200
was one of the most popular students
at Strickfield High. She kind of felt

211
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.880
sorry for him about what had happened
with Lillian Johansson. Sure Randy and Ronnie

212
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:33.480
had budded heads on occasion, but
even she felt that Lilian didn't deserve what

213
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.440
had happened to her at the prom
from Hell. When it came to Randy,

214
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.160
it seemed he was finally moving on
from Lilian and was now seeing her

215
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:49.039
older sister, Cameron. Ronnie knew
Cameron from Pendleton. In fact, the

216
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:55.039
two of them were roommates. Ronnie
and Cameron fought quite a bit, which

217
00:20:55.079 --> 00:21:00.079
got them in trouble. Several times, Cameron earned Ronnie's respect. When he

218
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.759
had a chance to rat her roommate
out for smoking pot she had stashed away,

219
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:08.599
Cameron lied and said she never saw
Ronnie smoking anything. Ronnie got away

220
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:14.279
with it, and the two girls
started getting along better after that. They

221
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.920
even started watching each other's backs at
Pendleton. For now, Cameron was okay

222
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.640
in Ronnie's book. Now, Ronnie
gazed upon deryck Masters, the guy who

223
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.160
had just saved her from possibly going
to prison for murder. One, She

224
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.880
felt her heart skipping beats. Now
For one thing, he had a great

225
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:41.480
smell. Two, what a physique. Three, he wasn't afraid to touch

226
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.079
her, And his voice, just
the way it cut through her rage.

227
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.559
Maybe it was more than just a
crush. When he looked her way and

228
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:56.480
smiled a little, she quickly faced
front and felt her heart skipping even more

229
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:03.839
beats. Maybe summer school wasn't going
to be so bad after all. When

230
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.880
Principal Vandiste gave everyone a break at
the first hour, Ronnie planned on going

231
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:14.400
outside to smoke a cigarette. As
she reached the main doors, she saw

232
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.319
some students from her class and one
from a different class gathered around in the

233
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:25.119
library. Curiosity got the better of
Ronnie, and all eyes went right to

234
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:30.440
her as she entered. Like what
you see, she snapped, pushing up

235
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:36.279
on her breasts just looking at a
yearbook left here. Regal Fairlane, the

236
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:41.039
preppy girl who wasn't in her class, told her. Ronnie knew Regal was

237
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.720
a member of the National Honor Society. She wasn't looking to graduate early,

238
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:51.759
however, she was taking driver's education
with mister Austin Zachary. She just never

239
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.279
had the time when she should have
taken it at sixteen. With all the

240
00:22:55.359 --> 00:23:00.200
coursework she was doing, she was
finally learning to drive now. Ronnie herself

241
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:06.319
knew a few things about Regal that
the other students didn't. Things Regal could

242
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.000
get into serious trouble for Ronnie had
her reasons for keeping quiet about her.

243
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:18.920
However, Ronie also recognized Bill Baxter, a guy who couldn't care less about

244
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.799
keeping his grades up, which was
why his parents enrolled him in summer school

245
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:30.279
again. Bill was a senior who
failed both government and economics during the regular

246
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.920
school year and had to take and
pass Principal Vandas's classes if he wanted to

247
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:41.359
graduate. Also, Randy Ullery and
his girlfriend Cameron Johansson were among them.

248
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.720
Randy was obviously taking Vandias's classes to
not have to take them senior year.

249
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.960
Ronnie humored herself and looked at the
yearbook with the others. Ronie knew she

250
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:59.559
had her own popularity compared to the
jocks, preps and others in the yearbooks

251
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.880
thanks to her looks and her gorgeous
body. She also had connections and planned

252
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:10.720
on following up on some of them
once she got out from under Principal Vandiast's

253
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.920
iron glare. It wasn't long before
the pages for the prom were revealed.

254
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:22.640
The first two pages showed all of
the candidates from both the junior and senior

255
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.799
classes that were taken after Vandist had
announced them. Ronnie was laughing when she

256
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:36.240
saw someone had written prom from Hell
across both pages. Also, prom Queen

257
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:42.000
Killer was written with arrows pointing to
Laura Lee Hardy in both her solo and

258
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:51.160
group pictures. Something funny, Randy
demanded. Ronnie smirked, Yeah, it's

259
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:56.680
funny what these fucking stupid ass girls
will do for plastic crowns, even kill

260
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:02.000
each other for him. Randy was
more upset. Now you think this is

261
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:07.119
all funny. He pointed to the
picture of Lilian Johansson. She was my

262
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:12.480
girlfriend. Ronnie laughed again and pointed
to Cameron, and now you're fucking her.

263
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:18.640
Wow. Talk about keeping it in
the family. Imagine what Lilian will

264
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.240
say when she finds you two together. Or didn't you read in the Strickfield

265
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.559
Journal. Her body disappeared from the
hospital Morgue after it was brought there.

266
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.599
Cameron Johansson pointed right at her.
You just stop, or I'll kick your

267
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:40.839
fucking ass again, just like back
in Pendleton roomy. Ronnie rolled her eyes.

268
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.319
Bitch, please, I beat your
ass just as many times. She

269
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.759
looked at Randy. Did your new
girlfriend here? Tell you how many times

270
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:56.839
we kept each other warm? At
night in Pendleton? When Randy suddenly went

271
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.440
for Ronnie, she raised her fists. Even though she felt sorry for Randy

272
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:06.720
losing Lillian the way he did,
she wasn't above fighting him. The others

273
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:11.960
quickly got in between them. That
was when Ronnie suddenly felt arms wrapping around

274
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:17.920
her for the second time that morning. She turned around to see Derreck Masters

275
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.599
the moment their eyes met and she
smelled his scent again. Ronnie was diffused

276
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:30.880
for the second time her heart started
fluttering again. You don't want to get

277
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.200
in trouble again, he told her
softly. Dereck took her hand and walked

278
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:41.440
her out of the library. But
I do, she said weakly. She

279
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:47.759
was powerless to fight Derek and let
him take her outside. Derek watched her

280
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.599
light up a cigarette and smirked,
sensing he liked her. Ronnie gave him

281
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.480
a warm smile that told him she'd
like to get to know him better.

282
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:04.160
Two week one Monday night. It
was the first night of the Feltner County

283
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:11.759
Fair, one of two county fairs
in Strickfield. The Feltner County Fair commenced

284
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.720
the week after the school year was
over, with the Strickfield County Fair taking

285
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:22.960
place the week before the school year
began. Many people were enjoying the festivities

286
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:29.240
and eating fair food. Regal fair
Lane walked around the fair until she slipped

287
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:34.160
into the empty stadium and went underneath
the bleachers. When she saw her summer

288
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:41.599
school teacher, she smiled brightly as
he approached. Regal and Austin Zachary held

289
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:48.599
each other tight as they kissed passionately. Regal had been in love with Austin

290
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:53.200
since she first took classes with him
during the regular school year. It was

291
00:27:53.240 --> 00:28:00.680
on her eighteenth birthday that Austin kept
Regal after school and surprised her by kissing

292
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:06.759
her. From there. He had
secretly taken Regal to his house, where

293
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:12.279
they slept together and began there heated
forbidden love affair. I love you,

294
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:22.559
Regal, Austin said after they finished
kissing. I I love you, she

295
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:27.640
breathed. Then he took her hand. Let's ride through the Haunted House together.

296
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.519
Regal nodded quickly. Then they made
their way to the attractions ticket booth,

297
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.839
where Austin paid the admission. They
got into their waiting car and were

298
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:45.720
soon moving along. Regal and Austin
kissed hungrily as they slowly moved through the

299
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:52.559
spooky scenes. After Austin whispered in
her ear, the two of them left

300
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:57.119
the car. Shortly after, Austin
took Regal inside one of the pieces of

301
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:03.880
scenery. The spooky music and sounds
concealed their loud moans as they undressed each

302
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:11.759
other and continued their forbidden passion until
the ride was finally shut down, telling

303
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.920
them that the fair was closing.
They got dressed and left the Haunted House

304
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:22.640
without being caught. It was quite
windy and cloudy. They weren't sure if

305
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.079
it was going to rain or not, but Austin draped an arm around Regal

306
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:37.039
and held her to him. Then
they heard menacing horrible laughter. What was

307
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:44.920
that, Regal wondered, I don't
know, Austin replied, sounds like a

308
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:52.039
girl. Regal gasped. Look.
Austin also gasped when he saw what Regal

309
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:57.359
had seen. It was a glowing, ghostly girl clad in what appeared to

310
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:08.240
be a prom dress. Is that
Lilian Johansson? Regal choked? Can't be?

311
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:15.119
Austin encountered, She's dead? The
prom queen killer got her. Yes,

312
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:22.480
laur Lee Hardy indeed, claimed me, mister Zachary, the ghostly girl

313
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:29.160
said. Then she pointed to him, and you two were safe and snug

314
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:36.559
far away when I was being murdered. Lilian looked very angry. Now,

315
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:42.759
don't you know teachers aren't supposed to
have relationships with students, Regal stammered,

316
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.559
What does what does that have to
do with you? You were living most

317
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:56.680
sinfully while so many people died on
Prom night, Lilian snapped, and now

318
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:03.519
you are mine. When Lilian let
out an ear piercing scream, Regal and

319
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:08.000
Austin let out their own scream and
went back into the haunted house. They

320
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:12.680
both went in opposite directions. On
impulse, Regal ran through the ride in

321
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:17.920
reverse. She hid and looked to
see if Lilian was still chasing her.

322
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.160
She had already moved through several scenes
without seeing her. Several minutes later,

323
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:30.599
the attraction came to life, making
Regal's scream. Then she looked up to

324
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:38.799
the hangman's gallows and screamed even more
when she saw Austin's slain form hung on

325
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:45.000
the noose. As the animatronic hangman
laughed, It's horrible, evil laughter.

326
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:52.720
Regal turned and ran until she escaped
the ride, only to run into Lilian's

327
00:31:52.759 --> 00:32:00.000
ghost again. Mister Zachary belongs to
me now, she pointed at Regal.

328
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:07.119
Live your last sinful moments while you
still can. I'll be coming for you

329
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:15.079
soon. Regal's eyes rolled up in
her head as she fainted in front of

330
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:24.160
the ghost. Well, it appears
something very unexpected is happening at Strickfield High

331
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:30.759
something a bit more than just a
killer on the loose. The ghost of

332
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:37.519
a wrongly murdered young woman is looking
for revenge, and if you want to

333
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.960
see where that revenge is going and
how it's going to come to fruition.

334
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.039
You'll need to tune in next week, same time, same podcast for part

335
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:52.720
two of prom Night of the Dead. And if you want a little backstory

336
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.720
on prom Night of the Dead,
you can check out prom Queen Killer.

337
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:01.720
It was the first ever miniseries right
here on Weekly Spooky, and I know

338
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:06.720
you'll enjoy it. There's actually a
compilation of all four episodes available on the

339
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:09.920
feed. Just look a couple of
episodes back and you'll find it. But

340
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:14.200
now, my spookies, it's about
time for me to wrap things up.

341
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.720

351
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.559
dear friends, it's time for me
to get out of here. I have

352
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:02.599
a trip to Chicago this Saturday for
a very secret, very spooky film screening,

353
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:06.839
and I wish I could give you
details, but I simply can't.

354
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.519
So take care of yourselves and I'll
be right back here on Friday, and

355
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.719
then Monday, and then Wednesday.
As always for myself, for my executive

356
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.840
producer Rob Fields, my producer Dan
Wilder, and our composer Ray Maadis.

357
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:25.440
I will talk at you next time. Thank you for listening. Make sure

358
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:31.480
to find your way back next week. But for now you are safe,

359
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:34.840
trust me,
