In 1974, a little girl is accidentally killed playing a game with other kids in an old deserted schoolhouse. The kids swear to silence, but someone saw them do it.

According to Variety, The Grudge scribe Stephen Susco is writing horror movie Prom Night for Neal Moritz's Original Film at Sony. Moritz was responsible for producing popular '90s slasher films such as I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legend. Production is slated to begin early next year.
- "There's a special night in the lives of all of us. A night to be beautiful...to be desirable. A night we can break all the rules and make our own - Prom Night. Everyone at Hamilton High is getting ready for Prom Night. It's a day of rehearsals, arrangements, final preparations, and last minute phone calls... They're too old for games, but someone still wants to play. Tonight, someone has come to the Prom...alone. Someone who watches in the silent corridors. Someone who waits until no one can help. PROM NIGHT. If you're not back by midnight, you won't be coming home!"
