‘Hell of a Summer’ Retro Style Poster Pays Tribute to Slasher Classic ‘Prom Night’

NEON continues paying tribute to classic 1980s slasher movies with fun posters for their upcoming film Hell of a Summer, and Bloody Disgusting is debuting a new one today.

Following in the wake of last week’s Hell of a Summer poster inspired by Happy Birthday to Me, NEON’s latest poster for the new movie pays homage to 1980’s Prom Night!

Check out the throwback homage poster below, courtesy of Creepy Duck Design.

The original Prom Night was directed by Paul Lynch, released the very same year that Friday the 13th changed the game for the slasher subgenre. Horror icon Jamie Lee Curtis starred.

Slasher comedy Hell of a Summer will release in theaters on April 4, 2025. “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard is the co-writer, co-director and star of the upcoming movie.

You’ll also find the film’s previously released Red Band trailer below.

Hell of a Summer follows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Fred Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one.

Finn Wolfhard wrote and directed the upcoming movie alongside Billy Bryk (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), with both actors also starring in the film. The cast also includes Fred Hechinger (Fear Street 1994), as well as D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (“Reservation Dogs”), Abby Quinn (“Mad About You”), and Pardis Saremi (“Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem”).
