Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2
***/****
I just had some random thoughts about Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2, and I haven’t added anything to my blog in a while. So what the fuck, might as well include them here, with some pictures. I included a nude photo of Wendy Lyon (I don’t imagine very many people stop by this blog anyway, so why not?).
Well, if you are gonna rip off “Carrie”, “The Exorcist”, and “Nightmare on Elm Street” then do it right and “Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2” does just that. Wendy Lyon sure impressed me in showing that she could portray two specific characters and mimic Lisa Schrage to a tee. Speaking of Schrage, I relished her so much that I longed for her to be on screen so much longer than she actually was (so seductively sexy in a slutty way yet conveying a sense of menace if her ire is enflamed, you don’t want to cross this woman or scorn her in anyway, her wrath gets your ass killed). The film really is an effects movie, but Lyon’s locker room scene is easily the best sequence of the film going away. What I liked most about it was her comfort buck naked on screen: you could actually see Mary Lou, completely uninhibited and embracing her new body, knowing that the victim (trying to hide in a locker) was mincemeat, and it is because Lyon has that ability to show the new host possessing her character Vicki.
This film also includes a fetish of mine, when Vicki appears in a guy’s jersey during the “demonic horse”/ “water mirror”/ “sheet violation” sequence—I am overwhelmed with arousal when a pretty young thing gets into a guy’s jersey. Anyway a rocking horse has rarely looked more scary and this has to be the first time I’ve seen bed sheets “trap” a girl to her bed, the impressions of these hands groping Lyon’s body appearing (it is a GREAT scene). The bizarre chalk board scene, where these hands protrude, grabbing Lyon, pulling her into it, with Mary Lou emerging from the basement chest in Vicki’s body, is quite surreal.
This movie thrives on these unusual nightmarish special effects scenes, like Mary Lou’s burnt corpse bursting from Vicki’s body, over a period of minutes metamorphosing into her beautiful body before the fire set her ablaze in the 50s. We get the Carrie prom night homage where students scurry in horror as Mary Lou extends her fury by turning the hall into a sparks-flying, lights falling, tables-turning, mayhem-filled craze, where a certain self-absorbed bitch (an adversary to Vicki), Kelly Hennelotter (Terri Hawkes) gets a “lightning bolt” impalement. The Exorcist homage has a Catholic Priest warning Ironside (as a teenager he was Mary Lou’s boyfriend, getting revenge for her dismissal of him) to embrace Christianity or else not have protection against her evil (although she doesn’t fear him and the crucifix does not harm to her).
I also love these off-the-wall scenes that seem to exist just to make us fall back in our seats like when Mary Lou has Vicki give her pops a nice sensual kiss, sends Vicki’s fanatically drab religious mom through their door, and enters principal Ironside’s office, hopping on his desk, eventually sitting on his lap. I think it just further establishes that Lyon is fully capable of playing a foxy minx lost in her role as Mary Lou, who could do such things, behave such a way, without flinching. I particularly grinned when Mary Lou, at the beginning, confesses to her priest that she committed a multitude of sins and doesn’t feel guilt for doing so.
