You know, I think I would be much more impressed by this trailer for the new version of horror movie Prom Night if it were maybe one minute shorter, or otherwise didn't include what seems like way too much of the film in the preview. As it is, I think the first part of the preview is scary enough, nothing original, but it is a remake after all. By the last 30 seconds or so, though, I'm bored. The story is predictable: a bunch of high school kids go to their prom and arrange to stay in hotel rooms afterward. Then a crazy sadistic killer shows up to terrorize the group — particularly the nubile young Donna (Brittany Snow) — and they must figure out how to survive... prom night.
After the jump, check out both the trailer for the new Prom Night as well as the super retro and creepy trailer for the original 1980 movie. Oh, the feathered hair! The disco! The horror!
The new Prom Night opens April 11. To check out the trailers, read more.

Brittany Snow's scream is extremely annoying. It didn't help that they seemed to play the same sound clip of her screaming multiple times.
