Trick or Treat Reviews:
Crazy and Clever; Enjoyable
2008-12-28 - I saw this when I was over 40, and taped it. With the advent of DVD, I'd like to have a decent copy. It's definitely a sign of those times, and a lot of fun. Ozzy does a parody of himself (like, what's new?) as if nothing could be more fun. I still have the inferior tape from TV, but it'd be fun to see it for real. There's a lot of garbage being thrown at us on DVD; the cult classics should be given equal representation.

Great 80s Movie!
2008-12-15 - To understand how great this movie is, you have to understand the era. This was the time of hair bands, MTV videos and just having fun! I was very into Fastway, so the soundtrack grabbed me immediately. I am a huge KISS and OZZY fan, so having Gene and OZZY make cameo appearances was awesome! A friend of mine worked at a theater during that time, and he could get in free (also one friend), so we watched this movie over, and over. We bought the soundtrack, but it was a long time later before we actually got the movie (my uncle had The Movie Channel then, and when I saw it in the TV Guide, I got him to copy it for us!). Months later, a Sam Goodys in the Mall had it available through mail order, but it was $89.00 for a VHS copy (remember, this was before DVD)! I passed and enjoyed my memories of watching it over 15 times while it was at the theater! I still enjoy pulling the DVD out occasionally, and reliving old memories!

If you love the genre- this ones for you
2006-09-23 - Trick or Treat is typical of it's genre. If your a fan of the campy fun then this movie is right up your alley.

It's hard to come by which makes it even more fun. It is your typical '80's romp through heavy metal and high school as loner "Ragman" comes face to face with his rock-n-roll idol- only he's dead.

While doing his bidding the bullys learn a lesson and ragman grows up. With Ozzy and Gene Simmons along for the ride you cant afford to miss this classic.

YOU! Namgar......Ragmaaaan! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
2006-04-14 - WARNING: This review contains major spoilers.

(Halloween, 1986) Hard rock idol Sammi Curr (Fields) burns to death in a hotel fire. His biggest fan, Lakeridge High School student and resident metal head Eddie Weinbauer (Price) is devastated by the news and turns to local radio DJ "Nuke" (Simmons) for emotional support. After a heated discussion about the deceased rock star, Nuke presents Eddie with a rare demo record, the last ever recorded by Sammi and the only copy in existence. Overwhelmed by Nuke's generosity, Eddie accepts the gift without hesitation, unaware of it's dark role in things to come. Later, after constant humiliation and a near drowning at the hands of school bully Tim Hainy (Savant) and his sports jock friends, Eddie becomes enraged and vows revenge on all those who have wronged him, much to the dismay of love interest, Leslie (Orgolini) and best friend, Roger (Morgan.) Alone in his room with feelings of rage and retribution racing through his mind, Eddie plays the new record on his stereo and is shocked to discover that he can communicate with the now dead Sammi when it is rotated backwards. Playing upon both Eddie's loyalty and emotional vulnerability, Sammi instructs the teenager on how to get back at those who have caused him so much pain, instructions that the easily manipulated Eddie carries out, prompting eye-opening results. At first it's all fun and games as Hainy and his cohorts get their just desserts, but when Hainy's girlfriend is nearly killed by supernatural forces, Eddie realises that he is nothing more than a pawn in a much more sinister plot and wants out. When Eddie tries to destroy the record an evil version of Sammi is created (complete with supernatural powers) and goes on a rampage at the high school halloween dance, turning Eddie's involvement with the devilish rock star into a spine tingling nightmare not only for the young head banger, but for his school and hometown as well. Can Eddie stop the demonic Sammi before he sends the entire town straight to hell? One thing's for sure, the teenagers of Lakeridge High are in for a Halloween they'll never forget.

Being a genre film fan, a child of the 80's AND a fan of hard rock music...this movie holds a special place in my heart. It has everything you could want in a supernatural movie: action, great special effects (for 1986) and a guitar wailing glam- rock soundtrack. It certainly was THE movie for all the heavy metal fans at the time. I didn't see this at the cinema because it was never released theatrically over here...but it's popularity on video during the mid to late eighties secured it's cult status and eventually led to a (sadly, mediocre) DVD release in 2002. If you're not a fan of creepy movies or rock music then this probably isn't your cup of tea...but, trust me, there are worse films of this type out there...and, despite average acting and some outrageously ridiculous situations, Trick or Treat is most definitely a wailing riff above the usual horror fare. You'll never look at your stereo the same way again. Or should I say MP3 player?



Standard '80's teen horror fare
2003-09-09 - Not much to be said for "Trick Or Treat", really. It's a dumbed-
down little artifact that may provide some mindless time killing
for aging baby boomers (nostalgia factor) and 10 year olds. Not
a dvd for horror fans as there is absolutely nothing scary or
suspenseful going on here. On the up side, it's not awful as far
as '80's teen fodder goes, and is actually a notch or two above
most of what this genre was offering. There are a few laughs to
be found here and there, not much else.
