And yet ironically, she had the perfect chance to boost her popularity, by leading the charge to promote Julie as Prom Queen. She was so close to leaving High School with a perfect popularity end, but let greed and a psychotic dad trip her up at the finish line.

[@somnodaur8064]

I don’t think greed had anything to do with this. And also, I’d be pretty pissed if everything I worked for was flushed down the straight because some girl lost a leg too. Difference between me and her is that She’s batshit insane.

[@ameliabrickley4108]

I think part of it was her need to show that she was popular. Prom queen will make sure that you'll be remembered. Not just as a popular girl but the popular girl. It's a lot of pressure that was put on her that finally made her snap.

[@rjjames1518]

I'm amazed this song went the route of it being Sara's father who drove her to insanity. You'd think, because the song is about a girl obsessed with being prom queen, that it is her mother abusing her, maybe because she didn't win prom queen when she was a teenager and she is pushing her daughter to be the perfect prom queen to live vicariously, or she was prom queen and refuses to see her daughter not follow in her footsteps. But no, her DAD is the one who makes Sara believe that if she isn't prom queen then she's worthless. It makes me think Sara's dad was a high school star quarterback who married the prom queen and still carried those fucked up high school hierarchy beliefs into adulthood, then verbally beat them into his daughter's head. It's an interesting approach to take.

Nope. Poisoning, head trama twice, drowned, and stabbed/cut up twice. Pretty common. With Mariana and Eunice (sorry if they are misspelled) it is a bit unclear, but they were certainly cut up, so they were mostly likely just stabbed. But this all makes sense for her character. She's not a sadistic killer who likes to get creative, just trying to kill the competition. She killed in a way that was simplest in that situation.

Brenda Cervantes It really does, doesn't it?

[@bluedragon8762]

Brenda Cervantes eh not really it was more like her dad pressured her saying if she failed being prom queen she was also a failure at life. This started the spiral. Shebpushed away her friends and everything to focus on being prom queen which didnt work. This made her lose popularity hence why her friends said she was socially dead. All the while her dad is still telling her that she is a failure if ahe doesnt get prom queen. This pushes her over the edge as nothing she does works, she has lost her friends and boyfriend etc. Now she thinks the only way left to win is to kill the conpetition. Popularity didnt cause the mental break, her fathers pressure and the failure of her tactics before it came to murder did. Nothing supernatural or creepy pasta like.

Here’s an idea me and my friend came up with the other day: Julie Jenkins is the main singer and the backing singers are the people Sara killed. Julie doesn’t know they are there (obviously because they are dead) Julie wrote the song about Sara and the events of prom soon after and often sings it to herself, she hasn’t sung it or shown it to anyone else but the dead people have been there the whole time listening to it, they now back her up every time she sings it. They say the lines about how they died (like Patricia says the line “p is for Patricia drinking poison punch”) Idk how we came up with this. We just did. Also, I do theatre and two of my friends from the theatre club are called Sara Berry and Julie Jenkins (Julie has a double barrelled surname but the last part is Jenkins) there’s also someone called Marianna and Anne.

I guess the other girls were other prom queen candidates, or the prom committee who allowed Julie to be pity vote. Julie just got ahead of Sara by calling the authorities.

Lyrics: Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh, Oh! Down on your knees before the Queen. Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh, Oh! Down on your knees before the Queen. Sara Berry was a popular bitch. (Mm-hmm.) Hot bod, hot boy, cheer captain, plus she was rich. (Oh, yeah.) That girl had everything till hiccup and hitch: Julie Jenkins lost a leg in a wreck. (Am-pu-ta-ted) The nominations for Prom Royalty came (Uh-huh.) Our Sara's Senior Year, and Queen was her claim- (Uh, duh.) Till gossip stirred the student body would name Julie Jenkins, Queen of the Prom. (Pi-ty-vote) "Sara, " her father said, "Life is a Prom. I know you won't disappoint me and Mom…?" You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. You thirst for blood from the roses in hand. You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance, As they crown you Queen of High School Land. (Check Sara, Choose Sara, Vote for Sara Berry) So obsessed, our Sara near lost her mind. To life un-Prom-related, Sara was blind; She shoved her squad, her clique and boyfriend behind- Still one-leg Julie held to the lead. (Poor, poor Julie) Soon Sara's sanity was hung by a thread, Her B.F.F.'s proclaimed her socially dead, Till then, at last, her boyfriend texted and said: "I'm taking Julie to the senior Prom." (Love, love Julie) "Sara, " her father said, "Why be so calm? There's just no future for a Princess at Prom…" You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. You thirst for blood from the roses in hand. You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance, As they crown you Queen of High School Land. Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh, Oh! Down on your knees before the Queen. Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh, Oh! Down on your knees before the Queen. Some girls are rational but Sara was not She stared in mirrors thinking one single thought: There's seven reasons this crown's not good as got- And so the night of Prom, mercy! Thus went her plot: "P" is for Patricia, drinking poisoned punch. "R" is for Raquel, dashed on a rock (crunch) "O" is what Anne said when Sara bludgeoned her brains And "M" is Marianna's marinated remains. But! But! "Q" is for Quiara, quiet, drowned in the pool. "U" is for Eunice's pieces spread round the school But "E's" are for the easy way in five minutes tops A one-legg'd girl can bring an "N" for end by calling the cops. You got your silver Sara, you got your crown You got their blood on your roses in hand You donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance, As you crowned you Queen of High School Land! Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh, Oh! God save the Queen... Down on your knees before the Queen. God save the Queen. Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh, Oh! The Queen of High School Land. Down on your knees before the Queen. The Queen of High School Land. They wrapped your wrists in silver, they took your crown As they washed your bloody fingers and hands. Into a tight straitjacket, small padded cell, As you screamed, "I'm Queen of High School Land!" At least in your head, you're Queen of High School Land Pity the dead! You're Queen of High School Land. (Check Sara, Choose Sara, Vote for Sara Berry.) (Check Sara, Choose Sara, Vote for Sara Berry.)

[@pookiedear7739]

I have a theory So remember when the dad said "I know you won't disappoint me and mom" Maybe her parents gave her everything sara wanted but never gave her attention and that Sara really want to impress them and so she told her parents that she was running for prom queen and her parents were really excited and happy and started paying more attention to her but then Julie lost her leg and everyone started saying they would let Julie become queen and Sara's parents found out and they started lossing interest in Sara then she started going crazy to get their attention then she lost her sanity slowly until she went crazy and decided that she would murder the competition and win her parents favour and so she murdered them and got arrested Theory over But remember that's just a theory A song theory 😉

So I was listening to this, and at 1:52 you can hear the backup go "poor, poor Julie" and it's honestly kinda clever, I mean, let's face it, if it wasn't for the fact that Julie lost her leg, Sara would have been Prom Queen no doubt, and while Julie tooootally deserves it over Sara, the only reason she got it in the first place was so that everyone in the highschool could go, "look how morally upstanding and self-righteous we are, we voted for the handicapped girl and made her feel special" which is about what you'd expect from a bunch of highschoolers anyway, just thought that was a neat way to show the highschool oligarchy at its finest (massive sarcasm withstanding)

@@tweedlebug123 no, but it explains why it happened. with these situations, its better to look at the cause of a crime rather than just what was done. Yes she killed people, but she did it because she had been pushed too far and was truly isolated when she needed it the most. What she needs is extensive therapy, not prison.

I can't decide if it reminds more of Creature Feature's "Gory Demise" because of the letters at the end, or of "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" for obvious reason. That being said, I reallyove the song. I haven't heard it before, but I think I'm going to be listening to it a lot now! And you did a great job on the animatic, especially near the end. The concept of switching between reality and Sara's perception of it was really well thought out.

[@katd5596]

Dude! Same! They both fit well in different ways, since 'Gory Demise' has the whole going through the alphabet of deaths and 'homecoming queens got a gun' is about the homecoming queen set in the same sort of place, though it's more of a Gory Demise for me because that's more in theme? (homecoming queens got a gun is more... lighthearted and fun? Played for jokes?) It kinda reminds me of Carrie Underwood too.

Actually this is super sad, also I never once saw what made the girl a "bitch" seems more jealous that she was popular & wealthy, I'm all for (and fully endorse) "Eat the Rich" however I also know when a girl is being called out for being a girl who's happy, or well.. she's pushed to unfair expectations, even by her (most beloved) father, who was likely it seems SUPER ABUSIVE, no in the physical sense that we can see, but in the Emotional & Mental sense. Much like in Gravity Falls with that blonde girl and her parents using the sound of a bell to control her. The only thing she ever did wrong, was being born FEMALE to a wealthy family, that appears to be her only crime real crime. The rest is just symptoms of the literally insane levels of abuse done to a young girl's mind over her entire lifetime.

[@101mystic101]

Sort of feel bad for Sara. Her parents held her to high expectations even to the point of making a big deal of being queen at prom. The type of girl who strives to impress everyone in order to be loved. Sacrificed time with her boyfriend and friends in order to achieve in life as her father said she should. in her need for perfection and love she strived to the point of a psychotic breakdown. In delusion she saw her wish to be accept by her father/ peers come true. In reality she had turned into a killer.

[@madanotap6492]

Honestly, I know everyone's talking about the terrible parenting here, but honestly, I have my doubts about whether those lines even happened. Remember, our narrators in this story are singing through the perspective of Sarah, and Sarah is an inherently unreliable narrator due to her many delusions. Those lines of terrible parenting could have just as easily been completely innocuous lines in reality that Sarah's troubled mind completely spun out of control

[@Arcane_Route_66]

[@wilmagregg3131]

i think the first one was real as the father is solid but i dont think he ment to push her like that sarah just took it that way but the second vision of her dad i think is fake cause he looks see through it was most likely her stress trying to convince her to do what she did so her parents had a hand in pushing her but it seems like sara never told them they were putting too much pressure on her

[@lastgirl7071]

this is actually a sound theory, but im kinds struggling to believe that a gal calling herself a bitch at the beginning of the song would go over the edge when daddy ‘encourages’ her to be prom queen. i personally think that this is narrated by a psychotic sibling. one that sort of whispered in Sara’s ear and gave her ‘ideas’. you see where im going, right?

Believe it or not but Sara's ways of killing are actually pretty tame. Poisoning, two head injuries and drowning. All are common ways that people get murdered. Other than Mariana and Eudice it's all (in the crime world) while horrible, pretty mild. I personally think that Eudice and Mariana were her B.F.F's because why else would she be more violent and murderous to them instead of the others. And maybe Quira because I think that when Sara killed the other three she took them out fast. Hit someone in the head, in the right place that would kill them and poisoning (depending on the poison) usually is very quick. However with Quira, she would have had to hold her underwater for a while as she struggled and thrashed and fought to you know live. Which is a huge waste of energy if you ask me. I'm just saying that I think she targeted her friends who left her. Blaming them for abandoning her. And god now I sound like a serial killer.
