Prom Night is a 1980 Canadian horror film filmed in Canada and directed by Paul Lynch and starring Leslie Nielsen and Jamie Lee Curtis. The original music score is composed by Paul Zaza and Carl Zittrer. The story concerns a group of high school seniors who are targeted by an unknown killer in revenge for their culpability in the accidental death of a young girl. The anniversary of the incident falls on their high school's prom night. The older sister of the dead girl is being crowned prom queen. Her brother is the disc jockey at the event. 11-year-olds Wendy Richards, Jude Cunningham, Kelly... Lynch and Nick McBride play hide and seek in an abandoned convent. 10-year-old Robin Hammond joins them but they start teasing her by repeating "Kill! Kill! Kill!". She backs into a window and falls onto panes of construction glass, killing her. The children make a pact not to tell anyone what happened, but a mysterious figure has apparently witnessed the event while a known rapist is blamed for Robin's death and arrested shortly. Six years later Robin's family attend her memorial on the anniversary of her death.
