How are killers finally caught in Fear Street: Prom Queen?

In Fear Street: Prom Queen, the slasher story takes a terrifying turn when the killer's stunning identity is revealed. Lori, who has a crush on David Iacono's character, Tyler, slips away from the dancing promgoers for a private time. As soon as the murderer finds them, Tyler is killed.

As Lori quickly flees, she encounters Megan, who is also escaping the murderer in the persona of Suzanna Son. Eventually, the two return to the prom and attempt to alert everyone to the danger. However, as Lori is declared prom queen and escorted onto the stage, everyone turns their backs on them.

She begs everyone to listen, but they ignore her. The killer then uses an axe to attack the crowd and tries to kill Lori on stage. Megan jumps on him, giving Lori the chance to stab him in the eye with the crown. He falls in pain and takes off his mask, revealing Dan Falconer (played by Chris Klein) as the killer. He publicly confesses to his wife and kids, saying, "because I knew how much you wanted it, both of you."

Dan Falconer's wife, Nancy Falconer, played by Katherine Waterston, is stunned by the information; she remains to respond to the police's inquiries as Tiffany and Lori, who also happen to be neighbors, are taken home with the police. Tiffany starts her journey of repentance on the walk home, telling Lori that she was "never good enough" for her parents and that she has always "felt like nothing."

After a while, Nancy Falconer returns home, but she is another murderer rather than a worried mother. With a knife in hand, she starts humming as she chases the girls about the home. They hide in the closet, terrified. Tiffany starts to panic there, thinking that both of her parents are dangerous, but it turns out that she is, too. Tiffany tries to murder Lori with a knife.
