I thought when I first heard the studio album, when he did that deep voice in "Spread round the school", that it sounded really similar to Beetlejuice. I guess I know now why.

The only proof that Lindsay Mendez is human and not some intense, alien robot made for BELTING OUR FACES OFF is her tiny little slip up at the end. She is the definition of beast.

afaik, this is the original photo! as in, the one that inspired the song. then i guess matthew decided to take another, better looking picture (or set of pictures in this case) so it would look nicer for the show i guess. some of the other songs are like that too, like caralee, immaculate deception, twisted teeth, and i'm not sure with the rest.

Tommy Hansana It's about this rich, popular girl named Sara Berry who wanted to be Prom Queen but Julie Jenkins recently got in an accident which made her more popular. She was so determined to win that she went insane and ended up killing all of the prom queen nominees on the night of prom but Julie called the cops before Sara could get to her. They arrested her and sent her to a mental hospital and she still thinks she's prom queen.
