Trick or Treat (18)
BOOK TICKETS
STOURBRIDGE TOWN HALL (Wollaston Studio)
Saturday 29 October 2022 - 7.30pm
Bullied teen Eddie (Marc Price) is devastated to hear of the sudden death of his idol, infamous heavy metal star Sammi Curr (Tony Fields). But when he's given a copy of Sammi's final unreleased recordings by radio DJ Nuke (Gene Simmons), Eddie soon discovers that Sammi is preparing for the ultimate Halloween comeback ... from beyond the grave.
A rare screening of the cult 1986 teen horror/comedy that perfectly exploits the '80s fear of metal acts burying subliminal Satanic messages in their music.
Featuring the big screen debut of Ozzy Osbourne (playing a TV evangelist decrying the evils of heavy metal) and Kiss legend Gene Simmons, Trick or Treat also boats a suitably rockin' soundtrack from Brit metal outfit Fastway (aka Motörhead guitarist 'Fast' Eddie Clarke and future Flogging Molly vocalist, Dave King).
Written by Rhet Topham (Freddy's Nightmares) and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure's Michael S. Murphey and Joel Soisson, Trick or Treat is a head bangin' Halloween treat.
"One of the most infamous horror comedies of all time" - Pop Horror
"Filled to the brim with striking horror/metal imagery and a killer soundtrack ... an 80's horror classic" - Dread Central
"It's time to give Trick or Treat the love it deserves. In the words of Nuke, and indeed Eddie: 'Wake up, sleepyheads. It's party time!'" - HorrorNews.net
