All about Lori's father and the rumor behind his death in Fear Street: Prom Queen
In the initial parts of Fear Street: Prom Queen, the viewers learn that the simple high-schooler Lori Granger lives a miserable life at Shadyside High School.
Many of her batchmates teased her because of the rumor behind her father's death.
As the film progresses, it is revealed that Lori's mother, Rose Granger, and her father were a couple since high school. Rose also stood for the prom queen contest back then.
Around the time of their prom, Rose got pregnant with Lori. One thing leads to another, and Lori's father mysteriously died on their prom night in the past.
Residents of Shadyside blamed Rose for being the killer of Lori's father. This rumor spreads in the school. Students like the popular girl and leader of the group, Wolfpack, Tiffany Falconer, often target Lori using taunts about the rumour.
However, the protagonist chooses to take a stand and participate in the prom queen contest. This, she believed, would help show the school about her being more than just the tragedy-stricken Granger.
She mentions this in one of her monologues from Fear Street: Prom Queen:
"It would be a cold night in hell if I actually won prom queen, but it's senior year. This is my last chance to show everyone I'm more than just a Shadyside sob story."
