Trick or Treat (1986) – A Heavy Metal Horror Cult Classic
Horror and metal collide in Trick or Treat (1986), a rock-fueled supernatural slasher directed by Charles Martin Smith. This cult favorite follows Eddie “Ragman” Weinbauer, a bullied teen who idolizes rock legend Sammi Curr. But when he plays Curr’s final, unreleased record backward, he unleashes a demonic force that wreaks havoc on his high school.
With appearances by heavy metal icons Ozzy Osbourne (as an anti-metal TV evangelist) and Gene Simmons (as radio DJ Nuke), Trick or Treat is a must-watch for horror fans and rock enthusiasts alike. Packed with electrifying performances, killer practical effects, and a headbanging soundtrack, this ’80s gem still holds its devilish charm.
