JumpScare! The Horror Podcast

This week, we're turning up the volume to 11 and diving into the glorious 1986 heavy metal horror flick, Trick or Treat! We talk about: The electric (literally) performance of the undead rock god, Sammi Curr! Black Magic and backwards-played vinyl—the most metal way to commit murder.  Cameos by Gene Simmons (as a DJ!) and the one and only Ozzy Osbourne (as a TV preacher!). You read that right. We're asking the tough question: Does this movie rock, or is it just "false metal"? #TrickOrTreat1986 #SammiCurr #HeavyMetalHorror #80sHorror #OzzyOsbourne #GeneSimmons #HorrorPodcast #Fastway #CultClassic #trickortreat
