Guess where I was at my prom ? Not ask I don’t care much for dancing & didn’t get to ask the girl I liked didn’t wanna get rejected But it’s nice to asked now I got that settled let’s dance & get to the kills!

He probably died of internal bleeding or some kind of head trauma you couldn’t see on the outside for how the killer died off.

Hello 👋

[@SwaggyG_2102]

The fact that this movie went from being an early 80s slasher to a late-80s supernatural horror film is honestly insane.

[@DodoRibeiro-ts6po]

Much like Urban Legend and IKWYDLS, where the two first installments went from whodunit slasher to supernatural horror movies in their respectively third movies

[@thomasffrench3639]

I’m not surprised considering Nightmare on Elm Street was really popular and Jason did the same thing in Part 6.

[@BioshockDrill]

What part of the movie was supernatural? Not saying you're a liar but I'm really dense 💀

I discovered Dead Meat several years ago while I was in college. It was the first summer that I stayed at school, and all my roommates had left. I absolutely loved waking up early Friday mornings and binging on James counting kills. Thanks for all the memories Dead Meat team, looking forward to many more!!

[@DoomChibi99]

I came across the KC after a bad break up, and watching Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Snob review Leprechaun. The KC popped up, gave it a watch, and I was hooked

I hear about it years after I left High School. It creepy me out but soon got used to it.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Randy did say, "If they'd just seen Prom Night, they'd know this! There's a formula! A very simple formula! EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!"

[@unclekarl5219]

Randy mentioning Prom Night is surprisingly fitting if you know the plot of both movies. The killer isn’t the unseen psycho but in fact one of the kids

Seeing a Randy Meeks quote on my birthday kill count is so accurate because as a horror specialist, my family will always say I’m Randy Meeks out of the Scream characters lmao
