Dance Til Dawn(1988) - 80's Teens Unite!!

Remember the time when networks would throw together popular kids of the time in a teen friendly, TV movie?. Remember this one :




"Dance Til Dawn" was a TV movie that aired on October 23, 1988 on NBC. It starred the likes of Alyssa Milano, Christina Applegate, Matthew Perry, Tempestt Bledsoe, Tracey Gold, and Brian Bloom.

Alyssa Milano plays Shelley, who just broke up with her jock boyfriend(Bloom) before the prom. Everyone thinks Shelley will find another guy quick, but she doesn't. She avoids everyone and watches old horror movies in a theater. She meets the school geek(Chris Young, "The Great Outdoors"), who she begins to see is a real nice guy.

Elsewhere, Jock Kevin bets his friends he can take unpopular student Angela(Tracey Gold) to the prom, but her friend Margaret(Tempestt Bledsoe) doesn't trust him or his motivations. Neither does Angela's dad(Grammer), who follows them all night and gets into trouble of his own.

And Christina Applegate plays the obnoxious popular girl, who believes she will be named prom queen. Shelley is her competition. Matthew Perry plays her boyfriend.


The parents in the movie are played by Kelsey Grammer, Alan Thicke, Edie McClurg("The Hogan Family", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"), Mary Frann("Newhart") and Cliff DeYoung("Cujo", "Secret Admirer").

Very young. All so young!. I figured this would be kind of obscure, but fun!!!.

There is more You Tube stuff that I am going to post as well. Also, there is another TV movie featuring 80's stars that I will be doing soon.

This one is available on DVD, but it might be hard to find.

This is one I am going to be tracking down. Have to order this one. Nowhere in stores. After seeing Crash Course recently, I need to get this. I think this one was even better than CC.

This was a fun movie. I was surprised to learn this was just a TV movie and not in theatres. So many known names in one movie!!
