Vicky finds Mary Lou's cursed crown. Her friend Jess releases the spirit when she tries to take the crown apart. She is hung to death by the spirit and it is declared it a suicide.
There is a bit of comedy both intentional and unintentional. The 80s style is insane and the movie has to also have 50s style. For lower level 80s horrors, this is one of my favorites. I love the locker room scene. It is shoot perfectly. Every cut has something terrific. Then it ends in such a memorable way. The movie is an amalgam of some great horrors like Carrie. Sometimes the horror B-movie seams are showing but I do love the locker room.
