Directed by Charles Martin Smith in his directorial debut, Trick or Treat was released on Oct. 24, 1986. The supernatural horror movie starred Marc Price as teenage metal fan Eddie Weinbauer and Tony Fields as dead rock star Sammi Curr.
Louder Sound described the movie as being sold with the pitch: “Kid plays record backwards to unleash revengeful ghost rocker.”
The ghostly rocker first helps Eddie get revenge on bullies, but the situation quickly becomes deadly as Sammi gains power through radios and sound systems.
Louder Sound noted that “Ozzy makes a hilariously tongue-in-cheek cameo playing a dour, moralising televangelist.” In the movie, Osbourne appears as Reverend Aaron Gilstrom, a TV preacher warning parents about the dangers of heavy metal music.
The movie’s soundtrack also became one of its defining features. All of Sammi Curr’s songs were written and performed by the hard rock band Fastway, while composer Christopher Young created the film’s score.
Rotten Tomatoes summarized the movie with the description: “Playing a dead heavy-metal rocker's (Tony Fields) last record backward brings him back with the power to zap his critics.”
The movie also became notable for several behind-the-scenes stories. Keanu Reeves auditioned for the role of Eddie Weinbauer before Marc Price was cast. Simmons was originally considered for the role of Sammi Curr but later chose to make a cameo instead.Today, Trick or Treat remains one of the best-known heavy metal horror films from the 1980s.
