comment
Jonny Warner, a rebel who spells his name without the customary H, is the new transfer student at Enrico Fermi High School. He falls in love a with good girl named Toffee, the first woman who's ever loved him. Toffee's parents and principal Miss Strict pressure her to break up with him, and when she does, Jonny commits suicide by riding his motorcycle into a nuclear plant. He comes back as a zombie, and wants to take Toffee to the prom. Miss Strict, however, does not want any zombies at her high school ruining the order that she's established. Jonny teams up with fame-seeking reporter Eddie Flagrante to campaign for zombie civil rights. It turns out that Miss Strict has a few secrets in her past that she wishes to keep under wraps...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Zombie Prom was originally an off-Broadway musical, and was made into a much-abridged film featuring RuPaul as Miss Strict.

Ambiguously Brown: Though Eddie and Jonny are often portrayed by white actors, Eddie is referred to as "from the wrong side of the tracks," which was sometimes 50s' code for "not white." This may also have had something to do with Delilah's parents disapproving of him.

All Musicals Are Adaptations: Averted. Was a musical first, and then a film.

Angst Nuke: A rare literal example – brokenhearted over Toffee’s rejection, Jonny crashes his motorcycle right into the nuclear plant. As Eddie puts it, “a tragic case of a hormonal imbalance resulting in a class three nuclear disaster!”

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Subverted with Jonny and Toffee. Ms. Strict and Toffee's parents take him for a delinquent, all because of his motorcycle, leather jacket, and his "defiling of a good Christian name." It never seems to occur to them that Toffee could love him because he's actually a good guy. Ms. Strict qualifies as well. Back in the day, she had a thing for Eddie Flagrante, and if she wouldn't be allowed to go to the prom with him, she wasn't going at all.
