That Good Old Fashioned Devil Music!...

In TRICK OR TREAT, Marc Price plays the heavy metal kid with a calm, natural approach, opposed to the wild-eyed maniac one might expect.

Tormented relentlessly by asinine athletes, Marc finds his escape in metal star Sammi Curr. When Curr suddenly dies, Marc is left adrift in high school hell. Then, a DJ (Gene Simmons) gives him a copy of Curr's unreleased final album.

The next thing we know, the record is playing backward, a demon is released, and the fun begins!

This movie is especially meaningful if you were a metal fan in the 1980's, or if you were an outcast in school. It's humorous, as well as a bit poignant...
