1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.160
Bodies are really piling up at Strickfield
High as summer school is becoming more of

2
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:11.640
a summer graveyard. But things are
about to come to a head and we're

3
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:17.440
going to find out why is Lilian
Johansson's ghost killing everyone? What does she

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:25.399
want from beyond the grave? And
can she be stopped? What's that?

5
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:39.119
You want to be scared? Come
with me. You will experience tales over

6
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.679
opera, ghosts and death. It
is not recommended at the foot the week

7
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:53.520
at art Listen us in the dark. It's more fun at that way way.

8
00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:07.879
This this Weekly Speaking. Hello,
my spookies. It's Wednesday, and

9
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.400
you know what that means. It's
time for a little spooky in your Weekly.

10
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.120
I'm your host and narrator, Enrique
Kuto, and it's that time.

11
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.599
Kids. We are about to hear
the stunning and thrilling conclusion of prom Queen

12
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.560
Killer. If you haven't heard the
other parts, just go on the back

13
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.159
catalog. The last three episodes of
Weekly Spooky were parts one, two,

14
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.879
and three, and now we're going
to leave your jaws on the floor With

15
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.359
the final episode. Rob Fields really
outdid himself with this one. The village

16
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.760
of Strickfield has really started to live
and breathe, then of course die,

17
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.719
and this mini series does not disappoint
in any of those categories. So get

18
00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:00.560
yourself comfortable. We're about to find
out what's really happening Strickfield High during summer

19
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.159
school, and what exactly is prom
Night of the Dead, all of that

20
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.120
and so much more. But first
I want to say a humongous thank you

21
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.919
to everyone who listens to the program
all year long. I love providing fun,

22
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.560
spooky, Halloween like content every single
week of the year. In fact,

23
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.960
we've almost reached two hundred episodes,
and we have all kinds of fun

24
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.719
bonus shows like Terrifying and True on
Monday's Monthly Spooky at the end of every

25
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.560
month, and this Friday, in
just two days, you can listen to

26
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.840
the brand new episode of Cutting Deep
into Horror where I sit down with Sweetened

27
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.680
Spooky's Salise and we talk all about
the bizarre horror film from nineteen eighty one

28
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.960
called Possession. You don't want to
miss it. It's creepy, weird and

29
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.360
fun. Keep an eye out for
that and make sure you're subscribed on your

30
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.479
favorite podcasting app. And while you're
there, why not show us some support

31
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.240
in a completely free way by leaving
a five star rating at Apple Podcasts and

32
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.280
Spotify. It really helps us out. But now, my spookies, it's

33
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.759
time for the thrilling conclusion, right
after these quick words from our sponsors.

34
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.000
Previously, on prom Night of the
Dead a few months ago, the Junior

35
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.719
and Senior prom at Strickfield High School
became a night to be remembered when Laurea

36
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.479
Lee Hardy murdered many of her fellow
students, including Lilian Johansson, who was

37
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.560
the front runner for the junior class
prom Queen Crown. Two months later,

38
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.319
things get stirred up at summer school
when Ronnie Brunswick arrives and creates problems when

39
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.120
she lets it be known that Lilian's
body disappeared from the hospital Morgue not long

40
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.199
after her murder. At the Feldner
County Fair, Regal Fairling meets up with

41
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.360
her summer school teacher, The ghost
of Lilian Johanson greets the lovers. They

42
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.879
escape and become separated, only for
Regal to later find her lover dead.

43
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.039
Back at summer school, Ronnie knows
dark secrets about the other students in her

44
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.840
class, dark enough to have her
possibly rack up a body count does she

45
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.800
have a connection to Lilian Johansson's ghost. Ronnie contacts Primrose Mirn and calls her

46
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.439
out on her cheating, even threatening
to come for her. Primrose and Regal

47
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.720
are pursued by Ronnie, seemingly intent
on killing them when they refuse to pay

48
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:23.439
her blackmail money for keeping their darkest
secrets quiet. However, Derek Masters is

49
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.079
there to stop her. Primrose,
fearing for the safety of her parents if

50
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.240
her attacker, possibly Ronnie would return
for her, leaves her gated community.

51
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.560
Not long after she finds Regal's dead
body in an alley, Primrose is again

52
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.519
confronted by the ghost of Lilian Johansson. Too scared and exhausted to run away,

53
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.519
Primrose is killed by the ghost.
Just what are Lilian Johansson's motives from

54
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:51.800
Beyond the Grave and now the conclusion
to prom Night of the Dead by Rob

55
00:04:51.920 --> 00:05:01.879
Fields Final Week Thursday afternoon, Donnie
Brunswick and Derreck Masters were working around the

56
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.560
barn. Ronnie wasn't sure if she
really wanted to trade a life of selling

57
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.920
drugs for an honest job. After
all, she never knew working on a

58
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.839
farm could be so hard. Several
times she wanted to just drop what she

59
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.519
was doing and walk away. She
knew she made way better money selling drugs

60
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:27.160
alone than the generous offered Derek's father
made her when he hired her. Ronnie

61
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.160
never had anyone care about her or
the way Derek did. She knew she

62
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.079
cared for him deeply too. These
reasons would ultimately keep her on the farm,

63
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.240
where she would try to make an
honest life, if not for herself,

64
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.639
then for Derek. Also. She
had only one more day of Principal

65
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.240
Matthew Vandast's classes, the final hurdle
to staying out of prison. She had

66
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:57.800
passed government and knew she would pass
economics. She would really graduate high school

67
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.079
with Derek and have her new life
with him. Ronnie shrieked when her smartphone

68
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.480
rang in the bib of her overalls, snapping her out of her thoughts.

69
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:12.839
She pulled it out and saw a
Primrose Mirran on her caller id what she

70
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.399
snapped, Ronda Brunswick, this is
Devin Decker, the drama teacher from Strickfield

71
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:25.160
High and you're calling me on Primrose
Mirran's cell phone because Primrose came to me

72
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.399
two days ago and said someone was
chasing her. As it turned out,

73
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.480
she disappeared from her house. Her
parents called me and asked if I'd seen

74
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.800
her, since I was the last
one to see her before she disappeared.

75
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.399
I found her cell phone in the
little theater at school. She must have

76
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.279
dropped it the last time I saw
her. She didn't have a password set,

77
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.639
so I looked through her recent calls. You were the last one she

78
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.639
talked to, and you're thinking I
know where she is. Ronnie translated,

79
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.079
Sorry, I ain't seen Primrose nowhere. She ain't even been coming to school

80
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.519
the last few days. Well,
I'm going to call some others to come

81
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.879
and help look for Primrose. Maybe
you could come and help look too.

82
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:10.199
Suddenly it sounded as if the phone
was pulled away. I'm sorry, you

83
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.560
can't be here. No get away, No stop, what are you doing?

84
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:19.360
Stop? There were some loud noises. No. Suddenly the call ended.

85
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.199
Ronnie quickly told Derek what had happened. From there, they dropped what

86
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.279
they were doing and jumped into Derek's
pickup truck to race to Strickfield High School.

87
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.959
Randy Ullery and Cameron Johansson pulled in
at Strickfield High and parked. They

88
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.800
got out of the car and walked
to the building. I'm surprised the main

89
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:44.439
doors are unlocked, Cameron said,
as they walked inside. I didn't see

90
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.720
miss Decker's car anywhere. She's the
one who called us to come out here

91
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.600
and help look for Primrose. Yeah, I know. Randy agreed. Let's

92
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.639
go see if Miss Decker is in
the little theater. Just then, they

93
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.519
heard noises coming from the gymnasium and
walked to the two double sets of doors.

94
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.240
There, it sounded like music was
being played inside. Randy and Cameron

95
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.000
pulled on the doors to find they
were locked. Miss Decker, you in

96
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.759
there, Randy called out, no
response. Just then Randy turned to see

97
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.480
Cameron had picked up a trash can
and was breaking the glass to access a

98
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.639
fire axe. What are you doing? You never know? Cameron lowered the

99
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.320
can and handed the axe to him. Anyway, they'll think Ronnie Brunswick did

100
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.320
it. Randy accepted the axe and
worked one of the gymnasium doors open with

101
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.440
it. Cameron held the door open
before following Randy inside. They both gasped

102
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:52.679
at what they saw. Oh my
God, Cameron choked Jesus. Randy uttered

103
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:58.879
with equal horror. Suddenly, the
ghost of Lillian Johansson was blocking the gymnasium

104
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:07.399
doors. I'm so happy you two
finally arrived. Do something, Randy Cameron

105
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.320
cried. Then the ghost reached out
and snatched the axe away from him.

106
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.120
When they stepped back, Lilian laughed, It's time you two got ready.

107
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:26.480
The other guests will be here soon. Derek and Ronnie entered the high school

108
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.879
through the main doors. Derek had
a baseball bat and Ronnie had a tire

109
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.919
iron. Nobody's here, Ronnie observed. And why are them doors unlocked?

110
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.120
Probably how whoever got miss Decker got
in, Derek guessed. Then Ronnie raised

111
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:50.720
her finger. Are you hearing that? Derek listened. Sounds like it's coming

112
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.120
from the gym. They moved to
the telltale doors. Ronnie grabbed one of

113
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.159
the handles and was careful in opening
it. She went in first. Deryck

114
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.440
followed close behind. They both gasped
in utter horror at the appalling sight now

115
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.759
before them. Ronnie looked at Deryck, What the fucking mother fucking fuck?

116
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.440
Deryck shook his head quickly. I
don't believe what I'm seeing either, Ronnie.

117
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.080
The gymnasium resembled a school dance.
A stage was set up with a

118
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:33.919
banner over it that had Strickfield High
School prom across it in runnee blood red

119
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:39.399
lettering. Across from the stage was
the DJ station with a vinyl record playing

120
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.399
over the speakers. Tables and chairs
were set up around the walls, with

121
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:52.679
refreshment's tables placed at different points.
Several dead, rotting corpses were seated at

122
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.120
their tables. More corpses were on
the dance floor, propped up to resemble

123
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.080
couples dancing. Another corpse was at
the DJ's station. All of them were

124
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.960
dressed formally for this event, but
it was what was on the stage itself

125
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.279
that had truly horrified Ronnie and Deryck. Several of their former classmates were on

126
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.679
it, and they were also dressed
up like the other bodies. They were

127
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.519
also quite dead. All of the
female bodies were formally clad in prom dresses.

128
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.559
Their male dates were wearing tuxedos and
were positioned and propped up to stand

129
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.519
directly behind them. Clearly they were
made up to look like the prom Queen's

130
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:48.799
court. Jesus Fuck Lilian Johanson.
Ronnie choked. Lilian Johansson was indeed sitting

131
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.440
at the center of her court on
a throne. Though she had been dead

132
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:01.120
for far longer than the others on
stage, she still looked amazingly preserved,

133
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:09.519
with absolutely no signs of decay or
blemishes whatsoever. Even Lilian's dress looked the

134
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.679
same as it was before her murder. From left to right, the first

135
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:20.840
seat was Cameron Johansson with Bill Baxter
behind her. The second seat was Regal

136
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.720
Fairlane, with Austin Zachary behind her. The center seat, the throne,

137
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.759
had Lilian Johansson sitting in it,
with Randy Ullery behind her. The fourth

138
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:39.759
seat had Primrose Mirn with Samuel Wormton
behind her. Only the fifth and final

139
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:45.039
seat was empty, with no male
companion. Standing behind it. At the

140
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:50.279
center of the stage was a microphone. Next to it was a stand where

141
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.720
a crown rested. Leaning on the
stand was a long scepter with a sash

142
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:01.519
hanging on it. The sash read
Strickfield High School prom Queen, also in

143
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:07.480
Ronnie blood red lettering. We got
to call the police, Ronnie, Derek

144
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:16.159
said. Suddenly the music stopped.
Then the lovers heard the sounds of horrible,

145
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:24.840
evil laughter and turned to see the
glowing, ghostly form of Lillian Johansson

146
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:31.080
blocking the gymnasium doors. I'm so
happy you could join my prom the ghost

147
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.360
said, you need to get gussied
up and join my court on stage.

148
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.679
The final places reserved just for the
two of you. Ronnie raised the tire

149
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.879
iron. Get fucked, she cried
out as she felt a sharp pain in

150
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.159
the back of her neck. Suddenly, Ronnie was quite sleepy and sank to

151
00:13:52.240 --> 00:14:09.480
her knees fast, and then blackness
enfolded her. Ronnie awakened to find herself

152
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.840
tied to a chair on stage.
Another slow song was playing. She looked

153
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.919
down to see she was now clad
in formal prom attire herself. She also

154
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.919
felt her face had been touched up
with makeup. She looked up to see

155
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:28.639
Deryck dressed in a tuxedo and secured
to her chair as her prom date,

156
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.600
the ghost of Lilian Johansson approached the
stage and stood in front of it.

157
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:39.399
She clapped her hands in front of
her simply perfect. I do so love

158
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:46.480
a great show, but this is
the absolute perfect prom. The ghost laughed

159
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.840
as she moved her hand up to
her hair and easily removed it. Then

160
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.519
she removed the outer layer of her
glowing face to reveal her real one underneath.

161
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.399
Now Ronnie and Derek easily recognized Miss
Decker. Derek uttered in surprise.

162
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.840
You gotta be kidding me. Ronnie
was just as shocked. You fucking sick

163
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:24.320
bitch, I mean, why why? Devin fired back. My Lilian never

164
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.240
got to have her prom. You
have no idea how long my baby girls

165
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.200
waited for this night. A girl
only gets two proms in high school.

166
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.399
Lilian was going to win the junior
class prom queen crown. It doesn't carry

167
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.360
the same prestige as the senior class
crown, but it gets you an automatic

168
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.399
nomination for it next year's prom.
My Lilian would have also won the senior

169
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:52.480
crown and be tapped by a major
college sorority. Lilian would have been leaving

170
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:58.399
Strickfield to move on to bigger and
better things. Doesn't every mother want that

171
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.360
her baby. You ain't her fucking
mom, Ronnie stated, matter of factly,

172
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.840
I've seen Lilian's parents before. Devin
smirked, I'm sure you have.

173
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.399
My younger sister was never a good
mother to Lilian. Like her, I

174
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.559
had two kids of my own,
Unlike her, I devoted my life and

175
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.080
attention to them, raised them,
right. They're both out of the house

176
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:32.200
now and made something of themselves.
Seeing how Lilian was neglected even by Cameron,

177
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:37.320
her older sister, I sued for
custody of Lilian and one Lilian had

178
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.519
a much better life with me.
After seeing my prom pictures, Lilian told

179
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:47.960
me she wanted to go more than
anything, especially when she told me she

180
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.840
had been nominated for the junior class
prom Queen Crown. Naturally, I got

181
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.080
Lilian ready and made her as beautiful
as she was ever going to be.

182
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.840
Devin gestured to the stage. Make
Up and special effects were two of my

183
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.640
greatest attributes. That's what got me
my job here at Strickfield High as the

184
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.200
drama instructor. Amazing what I could
do with a little make up, a

185
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:17.559
mask, a wig with a built
in voice reverberator, and lots of luminescent

186
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:26.079
bass that I created myself. But
my greatest achievement was recreating the prom just

187
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.200
for my Lilian. Yeah, by
making a new prom from hell. Ronnie

188
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:38.000
fired back, Congratua fucking lations.
Devin revealed a gun and aimed it at

189
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.720
her. Don't you test me,
you degenerate. I really don't want to

190
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.079
kill you or your boyfriend. Besides
having you two appreciate my work, you

191
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:55.000
both complete the queen's court. She
lowered the gun. Wouldn't you agree,

192
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.720
Randy? Both Ronnie and Derek gasped
when they saw Randy Ulery move out from

193
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.640
behind Lilian. So it was you
who shot and dope Derek and me.

194
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.519
Ronnie growled, just like I did
to Samuel Wormton. Randy assured her only

195
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:17.640
what I shot him with was poison. You and Derek got a tranquilizer.

196
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.720
He walked down to the floor to
join his partner. I helped Devon with

197
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:29.119
assembling her amazing recreation of prom night. You know, Derek glanced down at

198
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:34.960
Ronnie. You okayhun? Ronnie rolled
her eyes. Fuck no, We're surrounded

199
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.079
by dead people. There's two whack
jobs in front of us, and I'm

200
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:47.039
wearing a fucking dress. So you
two killed everybody up here to make a

201
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:52.480
court for Lilian. Derek asked,
you even managed to get all those other

202
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.039
bodies out there and here You do
understand Lilian can't really appreciate all this,

203
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:03.480
right, Lilian can only win her
crown and have her prom and death.

204
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:08.200
I figured that might as well be
the theme. Devin cheered, then she

205
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:15.599
became angry again. Laureley Hardy took
Lilian that night in cold blood. Lilian

206
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.920
just wanted to be a prom queen
like me, and Laurelee Hardy wouldn't even

207
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.880
let her have that. People only
remember Lilian as being one of the prom

208
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.440
Queen killer's victims from the prom from
Hell. I can't let Lilian have that

209
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:37.000
legacy, can i? Devin gestured
to Randy. He never got over her

210
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.160
death either, and was too eager
to help me put all of this together.

211
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.559
Unfortunately, not all the original prom
queen candidates from the junior class are

212
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:52.240
up there. Turns out Laureley Hardy
killed them that night. Only Primrose Miran

213
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.960
was left, who was nominated with
Lilian. But we can't have a complete

214
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.559
court with only a few of the
candidate, so we made a few more

215
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:08.119
nominations, if you will, and
now you and Ronda are a welcome addian

216
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:17.519
to Lilian's court. Ronnie looked at
Randy. Why fucking kill Cameron? Wasn't

217
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.160
she your honey? That's what I
wanted her to think. Randy replied,

218
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.480
But all she ever did was abused
Lilian and keep her under her shadow.

219
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.279
I had to show Cameron the error
of her ways by putting a bullet right

220
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:36.400
through her heart. I'm surprised that
bitch even had one with how she treated

221
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:41.559
Lilian when she was alive. Ronnie
shook her head slowly. People say I'm

222
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.119
a fucking crazy, sick bitch,
but you two, oh, you guys

223
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.200
make me look as sane as my
boyfriend. Devin waved the gun. You

224
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.720
just keep talking, Ronda, talk
while you still can. You mentioned the

225
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.720
prom from hell. You're going to
get a real prompt from hell very soon,

226
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.799
Randy. I think it's best for
you to get the ball rolling now.

227
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.799
Randy glanced her way. Ain't you
forgetting something? Devin quickly raised her

228
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:21.319
finger. Oh, you're absolutely right, Randy. We can't officially have Lillian's

229
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:27.359
coronation without the Master of Ceremonies himself. Can we yes? Go? Randy

230
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:33.839
went out of sight for a moment
and returned with Principal Matthew Vandiste, dressed

231
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:38.640
in his own tuxedo. He was
tied and gagged. All the doors are

232
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:44.839
locked up tight, Devin said.
Randy, untied, mister van Deiste.

233
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.079
Please. When Principal Vandiste was free
and saw this prom Night of the Dead,

234
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.680
he felt ready to fall to his
knees and vomit. Randy held him

235
00:21:53.759 --> 00:22:00.279
up. Don't you dare? Devin
waved the gun. Everything's all said up

236
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.359
on stage for you, mister van
Deist, you have a very important coronation

237
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:11.400
to conduct regarding Lillian. Go on
up, please, Principal Van Deiste reluctantly

238
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.200
walked up on the stage and was
soon standing at the microphone. Then he

239
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:21.839
gave Ronnie and Derek a sympathetic look. Now he looked at just Ronnie and

240
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.559
gave her an odd look. Really, van Deiste, you got to stare

241
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.680
at my fucking tits right now.
Ronnie yelled, face front, mister van

242
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.599
Deste. Devon snapped. Principal van
Deiste was scared as hell, but he

243
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:41.559
cleared his throat and began reciting his
yearly speech for crowning the prom Queen.

244
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:47.799
However, he knew something that both
Devon and Randy didn't. Ronnie was cutting

245
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.079
through the zip tie that bound her
wrists with a switchblade. When Ronnie was

246
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:57.440
being dressed for prom, she was
never thoroughly searched. She had two switchblades

247
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:04.200
cleverly concealed inside her spiked leather cufflets. Ronnie only gave Principal vand'st a hard

248
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:10.559
time to keep him from accidentally giving
her away. When Ronnie finished cutting through

249
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.839
and breaking her zip tie, she
worked on cutting Derek's. When he was

250
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.799
free, the lovers looked at one
another and knew they were going to make

251
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:26.920
their last stand here and now.
They looked ahead and shot forward. Fuck

252
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.279
yo, Ronnie screamed, interrupting Van
Dee's crucial moment when he was about to

253
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:40.200
name Lillian Johansson the prom Queen.
No, Devon shouted in surprise. Ronnie

254
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:44.279
and Derek leaped off the stage.
Ronnie's shoes dropped off her feet before she

255
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:48.359
punched Devon on her landing. Devin
dropped the gun as a result, but

256
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.480
Randy was able to beat Derek to
it. He pointed it right at Derek,

257
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:57.480
then on Ronnie, and then back
again. No, Randy shouted,

258
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.720
you dropped those knives. Get back
in your places. More so, help

259
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.119
me God, I will shoot you
both. When Randy waved the gun at

260
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.960
them, the lovers reluctantly did as
they were told and went back up on

261
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:15.880
stage. After retaking their positions,
Randy pointed the gun at Principal Vandiste finish

262
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:23.279
the ceremony please, Principal Vandiste was
about to resume when he saw Randy pull

263
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.200
a large gasolene can out from under
one of the refreshment's tables. Randy removed

264
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:34.279
the cap and started slashing the gasoline
around. Once Lilian's crowned prom Queen and

265
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:41.000
I'm back on stage, then we'll
truly have the prom from hell, and

266
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:48.079
you three get to be a part
of it. And then suddenly a gunshot

267
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:55.000
was heard. A moment later,
Randy fell over. The three survivors on

268
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.519
stage saw the bullet hole in the
side of Randy's head. Then they saw

269
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:04.119
that dead had a second gun.
I guess you and I think alike,

270
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:10.319
Ronda Devin said. Then she picked
up the gasolene can. I couldn't let

271
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.759
Randy be with Lilian and death,
could I. He didn't even care enough

272
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.920
about her in life to keep Laura
Lee Hardy from viciously killing her two months

273
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.200
ago. She poured the gasolene on
his body and set it on fire.

274
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:32.759
You can burn right here and now
Randy alone. Then she pointed the gun

275
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:41.359
at Principle Van dist finish the ceremony. Crowned Lilian prom Queen, now Principal

276
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.279
Van Dis turned to face Ronnie,
looking directly at her endowed up her body

277
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:52.440
again. Ronnie immediately noticed and became
angry. Stop staring at my titch,

278
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.680
you fucking pervert, She yelled,
Come here and make me Ronda. Van

279
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:02.839
Dis challenged her. Ronnie owled and
rushed him. Van Diest surprised Ronnie by

280
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.799
snatching her to him. He held
her close as he kissed her on the

281
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.839
lips. Hey Derek yelled, let
her go. I mean it, mister

282
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:18.440
Van Deste, I will shoot you. Devon shouted as Principal Van Deiste continued

283
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.039
to kiss Ronnie. Only Derek was
now seeing the principle slipping one of the

284
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:30.920
switchblades he had previously confiscated from Ronnie
into her hand. Ronnie now understood that

285
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:37.839
Van Deiste was trying to help her
by giving her one last chance. Ronnie

286
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.079
brought the switchblade to life and stepped
away from Principal Vandiste. She ran fast

287
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.720
and jumped off the stage again.
Devon cried out and fired her gun as

288
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:53.480
Ronnie threw her switchblade. Devon had
missed, but Ronnie didn't. The blade

289
00:26:53.519 --> 00:27:00.839
sunk deep into Devon's head, making
her stagger before she dropped the gun and

290
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:07.119
fell. After Principal Vandiste extinguished Randy's
body, the survivors went to the main

291
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:15.960
office and called the police. The
prom Night of the Dead was officially over.

292
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:22.640
As with the prom from Hell two
months prior, no candidate was officially

293
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:34.000
crowned prom Queen Epilogue. Saturday morning, summer school was finally over. Today

294
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:40.119
was a special commencement ceremony in the
little theater. Ronnie couldn't believe she was

295
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.799
wearing a cap and gown. It
actually felt wonderful, and she smiled as

296
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.359
Principal Vandiste handed her her diploma while
shaking her hand. She watched as Derek

297
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:57.119
received his. Ronnie graduated and would
remain free, though she still had to

298
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:03.119
do her community service and settle up
with Principal Vandiste for the vandalism she had

299
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.440
done to his house. Derek wouldn't
have to return for his senior year,

300
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.519
since now he had all the academic
credits he needed. Ronnie couldn't believe she

301
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.799
was really going to do this,
but she approached Principal van Deiste and hugged

302
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.920
him. Van Deiste was beside himself
for a moment before he hugged her back

303
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:30.960
thank you, she said, and
I'm sorry about everything. When they came

304
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.680
apart, they looked at each other
with their new respect. When the special

305
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.839
commencement ceremony was finished, Principal Vandist
dismissed everyone. Derek and Ronnie were at

306
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:47.799
his truck, where they shared a
long celebratory kiss at finally being free of

307
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:52.759
their academic obligations. When they finished
their kiss, Ronnie saw a Principal Vandiste

308
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.680
coming out through the main doors.
Then the lovers looked at each other.

309
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:04.000
Derek nodded one as Ronnie smirked mischievously. She turned to look at the principle,

310
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:11.519
Hey van Deist. When the principle
looked her way, Ronnie quickly unzipped

311
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.720
and opened her gown to both flash
and shake her naked body. Happily.

312
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:23.000
Principal van Deist gasped before he smirked
and shook his head slowly. Ronnie closed

313
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:27.559
her gown back up and got into
Derek's truck. From there, the lovers

314
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:34.039
left Strickfield High School for possibly the
last time. Ronnie knew she would catch

315
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:38.839
hell from Principal Vandist for flashing him
when she agreed to start working odd jobs

316
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.880
at his house the following week to
square what she owed him for her vandalism.

317
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.359
She didn't care. She was free
now. She was leaving her former

318
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.799
life behind her to be with Derek
and work with him on his father's farm,

319
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:59.160
making an honest living and learning a
new trade. One year later,

320
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.519
Derek would marry Ronnie as for the
prom Night of the Dead. It would

321
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:10.359
be yet another Strickfield story among the
many that people would tell around Halloween,

322
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:23.440
around campfires, and of course always
on prom Night, a surprisingly happy ending

323
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:29.799
which honestly was well earned. Ronnie
is one of my favorite characters in Strickfield,

324
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.440
and that's saying a lot. I
love her because she's fun, funny,

325
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.720
trashy, and she actually has a
really big heart. She shows that

326
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:45.680
no person is irredeemable. Anyone can
improve themselves, and I love that message,

327
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.400
especially if you can wrap that in
a tortilla of murder and sex.

328
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.240
Can't beat that. That's what Weekly
Spooky is all about. Thank you all

329
00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.839
so much for hanging out with us
and listening to this four part mini series.

330
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.319
Will be another mini series in January, and Rob's already working on it

331
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.640
and I can tell you right now, Oh my, is it good?

332
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.200
Oh? Yes it is. But
now I've got to get ready to leave

333
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.640
because I'm still getting over my stomach
ailment. But I'm feeling a lot better

334
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.960
and I want to thank everyone for
all the well wishes. They were very

335
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.559

We have ninety members and I have had

346
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.759
a goal for almost a year to
see one hundred. Would you mind helping

347
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.640
me reach that? It would mean
a lot to me. But if you

348
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.680
can't support us that way, that's
okay. Leave a five star rating,

349
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.880
tell a friend, share it with
a friend on the internet. You know

350
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.759
is just about as weird as you. That's just as good as anything else.

351
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:17.920
But now I got to get out
of here, so take care.

352
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.880
I'll see you guys next time.
So for myself, executive producer Rob Fields,

353
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.720
producer Dan Wilder, and my composer
Ray Maddis, I will talk at

354

you next time. Thank you for

355
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:39.599

you are safe, trust me.
