Prom
Dates from Hell
by Rosemary Clement-Moore
Maggie
Quinn, girl reporter.
Honors student, newspaper staffer, yearbook photographer.
Six weeks from graduation and all she wants to do is get out
of Avalon High in one piece. Fate seems to have different
plans for her.
High
school may be a natural breeding ground for evil, but the
scent of fire and brimstone is still a little out of the ordinary.
It's the distinct smell of sulfur that makes Maggie suspect
that something's a bit off. And when real Twilight Zone stuff
starts happening to the school's ruling clique—the athletic
elite and the head cheerleader and her minions, all of whom
happen to be named Jessica—Maggie realizes it's up to
her to get in touch with her inner Nancy Drew and ferret out
who unleashed the ancient evil before all hell breaks loose.
Maggie
has always suspected that prom is the work of the devil, but
it looks like her attendance will be mandatory. Sometimes
a girl's got to do some pretty undesirable things if she wants
to save her town from soul-crushing demons from hell and the
cheerleading squad.

Tips
on how to throw an anti-prom party
All
this talk of limos and lacy dresses not your style? There
is another option —skip it altogether. Hey, it's not
like prom attendance is required for graduation. Here are
some ideas when planning your own anti-prom party for all
of your friends who are not attending.
1)
Rent anti-prom movies like "Carrie" or watch reruns of the
Dawson's Creek: Anti-Prom episode.
2)
Dress in your most tacky clothes and revel in the fact that
you're not stuck in a frowy tight dress and uncomfortable
shoes.
3)
Pig out on junk food and lots of other messy foods that you
can't eat in a prom dress.
4)
Put on some rock music and be glad you're not dancing to some
sappy music with some idiot you don't even like.
5)
Give each other whacky hair-dos and make overs under 5 minutes.
Who needs to spend hours on a perfectly tamed up-do and puckered
lips?
6)
Have everyone create corsages of dried up flowers or weeds
for each other.
7)
Setup a few quirky places for photo opportunities. Create
your own backdrop and take polaroids for friends to remember
the "anti" night with.
Whatever
you do, make it something you'll enjoy and most of all, make
it memorable.
