Paul Lynch (born June 11, 1946 in Liverpool, England) is an English-Canadian film director and television director.
 Paul Lynch came to Canada in 1960.
 He left school to become a cartoonist for the "Toronto Star" and then served as a photographer for a number of small-town newspapers.
 This led to work in film, including a 90-minute documentary on "Penthouse" magazine commissioned by its publisher, Bob Guccione.
 His first feature was "The Hard Part Begins", considered to be a classic of early English-Canadian cinema.
 This was followed by the box-office hit "Prom Night", a prototypical ‘slasher’ film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen.
 Lynch has only made movies periodically, pursuing instead a career directing for American television.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Lady Haden-Guest (born November 22, 1958) is an American actress and author.

 A big hit, the film established her as a notable actress in horror, and she subsequently starred in "Halloween II" (1981), "The Fog" (1980), "Prom Night" (1980), "Terror Train" (1980), and "Roadgames" (1981), gaining the status of "scream queen" to mainstream audiences.
 Curtis has since compiled a body of work that spans many genres, including the cult comedy films "Trading Places" (1983), for which she won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988), and "True Lies" (1994), for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in Musical or Comedy.

 Jamie Lee Curtis portrayed the role in the original run of the series, with Scout Taylor-Compton taking the role in Rob Zombie's reboot and its sequel.
 In academic materials, Strode is widely cited as the one of the earliest and most influential examples of the "final girl" slasher film archetype and has been compared to other heroines such as Nancy Thompson from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984).
