The Black Prom, also known as The Night of the Prom, is a slang term for the massacre, that Carrie White committed against her school and, in some installments, against her town of Chamberlain in the Carrie films. It was here that Carrie White used her telekinetic powers to take revenge on her tormentors after having become the victim of a horrible humiliation, in which another boy, Tommy Ross, who invited her to the Prom at the request of his girlfriend Sue Snell as penance for her behaviour towards Carrie White, died.
