In 1945, a returning WWII vet gets a “Dear John” letter from his girlfriend telling him that she just can’t wait any longer for him to come home. Instead of doing what any sane person would do – namely moving on with your life and forgetting about such a hurtful bitch – he stalks her and her new man at a graduation dance. When they decide that the dance is too dead for their tastes, they slip out and go visit a lover’s point to get a little action on. While the couple is starting to get hot and heavy, the vet makes his move and impales them on the business end of his pitchfork, leaving a single rose in the hand of his ex. The crime is never solved, and no graduation dances were ever held on the same location again… Not until 1980, that is, when it’s time for a new graduation dance.

Jason Palmer is having nightmares. Nightmares where he has visions of a mysterious woman in a tribal ceremony, and the priest who tries to break it up. When he wakes up in a cold sweat, he decides it’s time to go see his doctor. While his doctor can’t explain why he’s having these nightmares, he suggests that maybe Jason is under too much stress from all of his real estate deals, and he prescribes a nice long vacation. While Jason is deciding where to go, he sees a symbol in a travel poster for Hawaii that he saw during his nightmares, so like any logical person he sets off for Hawaii.
The mall… That icon of consumerism and setting for many great horror movies: “Dawn of the Dead”, “Chopping Mall“, and “Night of the Comet” just to name a few. Let’s throw Midwood, and “Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge” in with that group.
