00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:13.839
Part four, and this one is soaked in blood and heartbreak.
3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.800
But before we get there, let's rewind and meet Laura
4
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:24.559
Lee Hardy, misunderstood teen, victim of abuse and soon to
5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.920
be known as the prom Queen Killer. Tonight, we're bringing

you the complete mini series by Rob Fields, a full
7
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.679
ride through trauma, black magic, and high school horror. It
8
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:47.320
starts with heartbreak, spirals into revenge, and explodes in supernatural rage.
9
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.079
Laura Lee was brought back from the dead once. Now
10
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.719
hell Weaver's giving her a second chance to do it
11
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.799
all differently. But when your life is built on blood
12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.519
and betrayal, is redemption even possible? So turn down the lights,
13
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.120
grab your tiara and make sure you're subscribed, because the
14
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.159
prom Queen Killer is back. Because the prom Queen Killer
15
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:25.879
is back, and she's gone a second chance to slay
16
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:34.640
Homecoming Queen Killer. Part one of five by Rob Fields. Prologue.
17
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.840
The lightning cracked on the second Saturday night in October
18
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.560
as the convertible sped along a brightly lit, seemingly deserted
19
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.159
four lane highway. A group of high school students were
20
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:53.120
on their way to one particular destination. Rit Speedman, riding shotgun,
21
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.359
glanced over her shoulder. Are you sure it's really in there?
22
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.879
How many times are you gonna ask me? Deborah Lehman
23
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.680
snapped from the back seat, Yes, it's fucking in there, Yes, yes,
24
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.479
and yes again. Sounds like someone's on their time of
25
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.759
the month, August Boldman muttered next to Deborah, Eat me,
26
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.240
Deborah retorted. August smirked, I'll be glad to Deborah flipped
27
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.960
him off. As the convertible finally came to the fence
28
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.000
that surrounded Green Lawn Cemetery, Arnie Razor Rathman hit the
29
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.919
brakes and swerved the car so that it lined up
30
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.280
with the main entrance. Then he sped through the open
31
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.800
gates and followed Deborah's directions. It took Razor nearly five
32
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.039
minutes to drive through the vast burial grounds before they
33
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.439
finally stopped at their destination. When Razor turned off the motor,
34
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.960
he and Britt got out. Razor pulled his seat forward
35
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.120
to let the four riding in back get out. When
36
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:01.759
Skinny Melisan Lapala staggered in get it out, Razor caught
37
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.360
her as she fell into his arms. When their eyes met,
38
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.199
he looked at her blankly before easily lifting her out
39
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.599
of the car and placing her on her feet. Thanks,
40
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.680
Milizan said, uneasily, looking up at the hulking giant. Razor
41
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.919
nodded once. Then they caught up with the rest of
42
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.080
the group. Deborah led them through several rows of tombstones
43
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.800
before they saw the one that would easily get anyone's attention,
44
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.560
a lone grave spray painted with the words prom Queen Killer.
45
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.479
Deborah knelt down in front of the tombstone. Laura Lee. Hardy,
46
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.199
She managed to say, didn't she used to date her?
47
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.840
Milizand asked. Deborah glanced her way, more like we fucked.
48
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.319
We never went on dates. She stood and faced her friends.
49
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.479
I still can't believe what Laura Lee did in Strickfield
50
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.039
last spring, She pointed to the tombstone. This right here,
51
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.400
Laura Lee killed a lot of students on Prom night
52
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.360
at Strickfield High School, even a few teachers. Britt raised
53
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.879
an eyebrow. You know I heard Strickfield High had another
54
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:30.079
prom over the summer, Deborah sighed, yeah. Strickfield High is
55
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.839
now known for both the Prom from Hell and Prom
56
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.920
Knight of the dead. It was the Prom from Hell
57
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.720
where Laura Lee Hardy made her impact. Though her family
58
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.319
died over two years ago in a horrible car crash
59
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.319
here in Shore City. She lost her older brother Aiden
60
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.959
and her mother Ridge. Laura Lee survived, but was hurt badly.
61
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.360
She had to have several surgeries, including the metal plate
62
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.959
put in her head. Feeling guilty about what happened to
63
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.120
her family, she killed a few doctors. She was taken
64
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.120
all the way to Erie City Asylum afterwards. That's where
65
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.120
she had to go through lots of therapy. Laura Lee
66
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.120
got out and moved to Strickfield. She found herself a
67
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.879
new girlfriend and was living off insurance money from when
68
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.160
her dad had died. Laura Lee developed multiple personality disorder
69
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:29.120
to keep her family alive. She could carry on conversations
70
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.040
with her mother and became Aiden to kill anyone who
71
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.120
got close to Laura Lee herself. Laura Lee went to
72
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.879
prom and would go on a murder spree from there.
73
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.000
Two of the senior class prom queen candidates finally stopped
74
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.040
her insanity. One of them was from the ultra rich
75
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.800
Mirren family. In fact, Taylor Meren herself saw to it
76
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.639
that Laura Lee was buried here and paid for the funeral.
77
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.199
Guess it didn't take too long for people to learn
78
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.680
Laura Lee was buried here. A girl stepped forward. Wow
79
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.959
her really looking at the grave of a of a legend.
80
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:16.000
Deborah turned to her. I wouldn't call Laura Lee a Legendvelinda.
81
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.079
August wasn't so sure. When people know you all over
82
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.600
Ohio and surrounding states, I think it's safe to say
83
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.600
Laura Lee Hardy is definitely a legend. He pointed to
84
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.959
the tombstone. I rest my case. Then Melinda Bright turned
85
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:40.480
to Malissan as the lightning flashed again. You know, guys,
86
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.560
I'll bet you she could bring Laura Lee back from
87
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:51.160
the grave. Melisan shook her head. Belinda, No, it was
88
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.519
no secret. Melisan led a goth lifestyle. She was pale
89
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.800
and always wore dark clothing. Her makeup made her look
90
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:03.839
ghoulish yet beautiful. Yeah, melisand I heard you could make
91
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.120
things happen, August said. Look, I just dabble in black
92
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.279
magic a little. She admitted, I never really made anything happen,
93
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.720
not big anyway. Melinda put her arm around her. I
94
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.319
think you should perform the spell. It's October, which means
95
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.279
it's Halloween season. Plus it's stormy out here. Come on, babe,
96
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.360
what could it hurt? Aside from Deborah, the others urged
97
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.480
Melisan to perform the resurrection spell. Figuring none of her
98
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.519
past spells ever caused serious harm, she agreed to do it.
99
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.040
She pulled her smartphone out of her jacket and found
100
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.120
the resurrection spell. Then she motioned for the others to
101
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.600
step back. Melisand recited the words. The more she read,
102
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.199
the louder she became. When she finished, she faced the others.
103
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.639
Guess we wait and see what happens. Just then, the
104
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:15.560
rains started coming down fast. They went back to Razor's
105
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.000
car and got in. He started the engine and closed
106
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:27.000
the roof. From within a dark place, two eyes opened. Unfortunately,
107
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:34.679
their owner only saw total darkness. Then the eerie red
108
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:39.240
aura glowed around the body, causing it to become fully restored.
109
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:46.159
Almost instantly. After the glowing stopped, Laura Lee Hardy gasped
110
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.840
her first breath upon being resurrected. She pushed up and
111
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.759
felt her hands being stopped suddenly, then she remembered what
112
00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:00.080
had happened in the Strickfield High School Gymnasium. At the
113
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:06.960
prom Taylor Miron and Cheryl Blint had killed her. Mainly
114
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.320
it was Cheryl who had stabbed her to death, but
115
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:15.080
Taylor was also involved. Laura Lee understood she was in
116
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:22.120
a coffin, likely buried. She groaned and pushed against the
117
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.480
padded ceiling with grim determination, and screamed. When the lock broke,
118
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.679
She pushed harder to force the lid open. Dirt poured
119
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.759
fast into the coffin, but Laura Lee refused to be
120
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:38.360
a prisoner to it any longer. Laura Lee gasped with
121
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.759
happiness as she finally escaped her grave and was standing
122
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:51.000
on the wet grass in her bare feet. Her funeral
123
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.960
clothing was her prom dress from that night. She didn't
124
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.279
care about that at the moment. All she knew was
125
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:04.720
that she needed to leave this cemetery and see where
126
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:12.120
exactly she was. Laura Lee walked around the Green Lawn cemetery.
127
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:17.120
The wind and rain felt wonderful against her skin. The
128
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:24.440
lightning cracked and revealed a guy urinating in some bushes nearby.
129
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.960
He had just finished and was about to head back
130
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.919
to the convertible when he saw her standing before him.
131
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:38.279
Whoa where did you come from, the guy asked. Laura
132
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:43.320
Lee smiled sweetly. It ain't where I'm coming from, it's
133
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:50.559
where you're going. The guy looked confused. Huh. Laura Lee
134
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:55.200
still smiled when she easily exposed her breasts, putting him
135
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.840
under her spell. Then she walked into him so they
136
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:04.639
could kiss. The two of them sucked tongues hot and heavy. Soon,
137
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.600
the guy groaned hard and tried pushing Laura Lee away,
138
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.279
but he felt her supernatural strength. In fact, her teeth
139
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.360
were easily cutting through the guy's tongue. Soon, she had
140
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.240
his entire tongue in her mouth when she withdrew, showing
141
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:27.320
it to him before dropping it. The guy was practically
142
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.879
vomiting blood as he staggered away. Laura Lee covered her
143
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.559
breasts and easily walked until she was in front of him. Honey,
144
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.440
you gave me your heart. She punched him hard in
145
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.600
the stomach, reached into his rib cage, and pulled his
146
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:49.559
bloody heart from him. When the man fell to her feet,
147
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.519
she laughed and dropped his heart. She saw a faint
148
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.679
red light near by and moved through the tombstones until
149
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:04.919
she saw the sky blue convertible. Laura Lee gasped when
150
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.519
she beheld the skinny goth girl getting out of the
151
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.519
car and opening an umbrella. The girl turned to look
152
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.200
in the car. I don't see August anywhere. I'll go
153
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.000
find him. Laura Lee couldn't let these people find their friend.
154
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.279
She returned to August's body and found his smartphone, easily
155
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.879
accessing it by holding it in front of his face.
156
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.799
She opened the texting app and saw many new messages
157
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:36.919
from someone called Razor. She replied and said he met
158
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.159
a girl jogging in the cemetery and not to wait
159
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:44.799
for him. Razor argued briefly, but she finished the conversation
160
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.279
with a middle finger emoji. Laura Lee returned to see
161
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.399
the skinny goth girl again. She shook the rain from
162
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:57.159
the umbrella. Before getting back in the car. Laura Lee
163
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.600
saw the varsity jacket, the driver war and the bumper
164
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:06.080
sticker when they pulled away. I'm back in Shore City,
165
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.720
she realized. I can have a completely new start here.
166
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:16.120
Those people go to Shore City East High School. Well
167
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:22.320
that's where I'm going too. Laura Lee hugged herself, knowing
168
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.960
she had fallen in love with the skinny goth girl.
169
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.240
She made a vow right then and there to find
170
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:35.200
her and win her heart. She also vowed to kill
171
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:44.799
anyone who got in her way. Melissand walked into the
172
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:49.039
house after being dropped off. Almost immediately, her parents were
173
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:53.240
all over her. Kind of late, ain't you? Her dad demanded,
174
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:58.879
I'm eighteen years old, Melissan protested, and still living under
175
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.840
our roof. Her mom corrected her. Her dad pointed right
176
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.600
at her. That's right. That means you do whatever we
177
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:11.840
say and for starters, get that satanic clothing off your
178
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:17.000
body and put something decent on. Melissan tightened her fists.
179
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.480
What is your problem? I'm not hurting anybody. You ain't
180
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.799
gonna keep dressing all in black and reading those Satanic books,
181
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.600
young lady, Her mom scolded, your father and I don't
182
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.039
know where you went wrong, but you will know your
183
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:36.360
place here. Melissan groaned and marched right upstairs. Soon she
184
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.600
came back down with her backpack. I ain't dealing with
185
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.320
this shit. I'm gonna go stay with Linda. Before her
186
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.200
parents could move to keep her inside, she was quickly
187
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:56.000
out the door and gone. Laura Lee stole a car
188
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.000
from someone who came to Green Lawn Cemetery to pay
189
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.519
his respects to his deceased wife. She hopped into the car,
190
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.440
motor running, and caught up to the convertible. Seeing the
191
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.919
skinny goth girl was dropped off, She hid the car
192
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.039
and crept the girl's house through an open window. She
193
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.960
had heard everything. Laura Lee entered the house and grabbed
194
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.960
two knives from a kitchen drawer. She tightened her jaw
195
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.200
the same way her brother Aidan did in life, and
196
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:32.480
marched into the living room. The girl's parents began yelling
197
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.480
at Laura Lee. Now Laura Lee screamed and buried one
198
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:40.000
knife in the mother's throat. When the father rushed at her,
199
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:44.039
she opened up his throat with her other knife. She
200
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.120
took the knife back from the mother's neck and kicked
201
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.960
her husband into his recliner. Laura Lee sprang on to
202
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.320
him and purred softly as she repeatedly stabbed him with
203
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:59.559
both knives. She was a bloody mess when she was finished.
204
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:05.159
Then Laura Lee heard the mother barely breathing and stood
205
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.080
to face her. Without mercy, Laura Lee grabbed the older
206
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.080
woman's hair and forced her down onto her back. Then
207
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.240
she knelt down in front of the couch and went
208
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.399
into a stabbing frenzy. When Laura Lee was finished, she
209
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.559
stood up and felt the blood running down her flesh.
210
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.799
You will never treat that lovely girl like that ever again,
211
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.240
Laura Lee murmured. Knowing the Goth girl wasn't returning home tonight,
212
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.399
she went back out into the storm with the knives.
213
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.600
The heavy rain both washed her and the blades clean.
214
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:46.039
Walking over a small bridge, she dropped the knives into
215
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.120
the water. Laura Lee had lost the Goth Girl for
216
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.399
the moment, but she knew she would find her again.
217
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:04.160
Sunday afternoon, Melissand had been working at Coffee Corner since
218
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.240
five am. Her shift was supposed to be over at
219
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:12.160
one pm. Her manager, Trent, specifically stated employees couldn't leave
220
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:16.559
until their relief had arrived. Britt Speedman was working with
221
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.920
her and came out of the storeroom. Jesus, Susette still
222
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:26.559
ain't here yet. She called off yesterday too. Melissan sighed,
223
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.279
she'll probably call off today too. She's never dependable, and
224
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:35.480
Trent still keeps her on the schedule. Britt laughed. If
225
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.920
we had tits like hers, we'd be getting special favors
226
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:44.279
from Trent too, But we don't, so we don't. Just then,
227
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.759
Deborah Leman and Melinda Bright entered the coffeehouse. Hey, just
228
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.279
the two girls I want to see, Deborah cheered. I'll
229
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.119
take a caramel dream hot with almond milk, same but
230
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.960
with oat milk. Melinda Addedland began making the drinks as
231
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.319
brit rang the orders. I have it on good authority
232
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.960
that you two are both nominees for Homecoming Queen, Deborah
233
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:15.279
gushed Melissand wasn't impressed people actually voted for me. You
234
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.680
guys know, I hate doing school functions, including dances. She
235
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.559
shook her head. I decline what, Melinda exclaimed, Come on, Melissan.
236
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.279
Melissan shook her head again. You all know Principal Ghastly's
237
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.480
been riding my ass since freshman year. I'm not a
238
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.359
trouble maker, but he gives me shit just because I'm Goth.
239
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.519
In other words, he'll make sure I don't get anywhere
