Heavy Metal Killer

 

 (imdb)

TRICK OR TREAT-1986-A bullied heavy metal loving high school student Eddie (Marc Price; once a regular on TV's "Family Ties") is devastated when his disgusting hard rock hero, Sammi Curr (Tony Fields) is killed. A sinister sounding DJ (Gene Simmons) gives Eddie a record, the final recording by Curr. When Eddie plays the record backwards, he gets a message from Curr (or so he thinks). Then a cassette tape (remember them) makes Curr appear and it kills one of the bullies' girlfriends and wrecks Eddie's car. Finally, at a school costume party, Curr comes back from the dead and performs a generic '80's hair band metal song and starts killing the audience. 

More typical 80's horror teen nonsense with bad acting. Directed by actor Charles Martin Smith who appears in one scene and Ozzy Osborne appears as a TV evangelist denouncing rock and roll. Elaine Joyce is Eddie's mom. Music by Fastway.

Thanks for reading!
