Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987)

Move over, Angela (of Night of the Demons) and say hello to Mary Lou. A promiscuous little tart gets murdered by her jealous boyfriend in 1957, and some 30 years later, comes back to possess quintessential nice girl Vicki and turn her into the bad girl. Here's another one of those sequels that breaks the mold and frees itself of formulaic ties in order to reinvent the series. This is such a superior flick to the original, I don't know why they didn't just retitle it and start its own franchise.
