CALENDAR SECTION only of the Los Angeles Times, Aug. 15, 1980

* Best "Prom Night" advertisement
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere
* American mystery slasher horror film
* Jamie Lee Curtis - Leslie Nielson

A terrific issue on the premiere of the cult hit "Prom Night" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
Page 7 has a nice sized advertisement for the opening day of this film. 
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Interesting that Jamie Lee Curtis was the star of another slasher movie a few years after the iconic film "Halloween".
Present is the complete section VI with 22 pages, minor margin wear, nice condition.

Background: Step into the neon-soaked nightmare that defined a generation: Prom Night isn’t just a movie; it’s the high-water mark of the 1980s slasher gold rush. Starring the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis at the height of her "Scream Queen" reign, this cult classic masterfully bridges the gap between the glitz of the Disco era and the grit of the revenge thriller. While other films relied on mindless gore, Prom Night pioneered the "secret childhood sin" trope—a blueprint of guilt and vengeance that paved the way for hits like I Know What You Did Last Summer. With its haunting "Whodunnit" mystery, iconic choreographed dance sequences, and a tension-filled atmosphere that turns a night of celebration into a symphony of terror, this film remains the ultimate time capsule of Canadian cult cinema. It’s more than a horror flick—it’s a stylish, disco-infused descent into madness that proved even the brightest spotlights can’t hide the shadows of the past.
