One of the most overlooked horror movies of the 80’s. Great video!

'Trick or Treat' was a drastically underrated horror movie of its day. It had a brilliant soundtrack by 'Fastway' and cool cameos by Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osborne. I saw this movie at an actual 1st run movie theatre in 1985. Big sound, big picture and all the elements of an 80s slasher/horror film which should have compelled it into the realm of 'Friday the 13th'. Nonetheless, this movie is a forgotten standout from the glorious genre of the day. 'Sammi Curr lives!'.

You cannot replace or remake the 80’s one of the greatest decades of all time. Music, Movies and women!!! Fastway trick or treat but say what you will was a good album. Thank you Sean Clark for keeping this history alive!! I also felt your pain on ripping those posters down.

The "scream until you like it" detective work is top notch!

Perfect timing! Only watched this classic gem with my new girl last week as she had never seen it before, she was born the year after it came out haha Everybody should see this movie at least once. I used to watch it religiously as a kid back in the VHS days of the mid 80's. Found it on DVD only a couple of years ago, under its German title 'Ragman' (it was also released as 'Death At 33 & a 1/3rd' in some territories). I always remembered director Charles Martin-Smith (who also appears in the film as Mr.Wimbley) as the band leader of the fictional college rock group 'Cotton Candy' from the Ron Howard 1978 TV movie of the same name, which starred his brother Clint Howard, who was busy doing 'The Wraith', another cult horror film from '86 with a great hard rock/metal soundtrack at the same time 'Trick Or Treat' was being filmed, with Charlie Sheen & Sherilyn Fenn. Oddly enough more people today remember the Fastway soundtrack than the film itself, but both went hand in hand (Fast Eddie Clark RIP). Of course the cameos from Gene Simmons as DJ Nuke & Ozzy Osbourne's finest film role as Rev.Aaron Gilstrom are remembered. Simmons was offered the part of Sammi Curr initially but turned it down due to KISS touring for 'Asylum' & his acting commitment in 'Never Too Young To Die' (w/Vanity & John Stamos), but instead he offered a good Wolfman Jack-inspired cameo performance as Nuke. Blackie Lawless was then pursued for the part of Sammi Curr & nearly signed on until he refused to mime to the Fastway songs intended, & as they had already recorded the album under the film contract he ultimately turned it down. W.A.S.P. was touring with KISS at that time too, in a strange twist of fate. Blackie would later miss out on being the T-1000 model antagonist in 'T2: Judgement Day' due to his height. Blackie would have certainly given the Sammi Curr role his presence (like his cameo in 'Dungeonmaster' or 'Ragewar', depending on your country), & also some musical credibility as he had switched back from bass to guitar for W.A.S.P. at that point, but he wouldn't have had the smooth professional dance moves of Tony Fields, and maybe Fields' unfamiliarity helped make the character more believable in a way. Ironically Elise Richards who played the bully antagonist Tim Hainley's girlfriend Genie Wooster in 'Trick Or Treat' had appeared as one of the nurses in W.A.S.P.'s 'L.O.V.E. Machine' music video 2 years prior, whilst Hainley's actor Doug Savant would appear again with Gene Simmons in 'Red Surf' from 1989 (also starring George Clooney). Marc Price did a great job with a very relatable character in Eddie 'Ragman' Weinbauer, as I was the metal kid in school then fighting my own daily battles too, but managed to convert a few friends along the way. Pity most only remember Price as Skip from 'Family Ties' because this role was far better. And Weinbauer's mother Angie was played by Elaine Joyce from the 1980 horror-comedy 'Motel Hell', which also featured the real Wolfman Jack. But of course you would know all this trivial stuff because you are the movie maestro Sean! Kudos & thanks for all your tireless efforts & in-depth research in making this one of the most informative & coolest channels on the internet. Sammi Curr lives indeed 🤘

Still listen to the cd soundtrack to this day!

This needs to be released with a Collector's Edition.

Some 80s classics never die ! They just keep getting better as time goes bye.This movie is definitely a 80s classoc ! Trick or Treat forever!!!❤

A movie close to my heart with possibly the greatest metal soundtrack in history. Fastway,a group I’d never heard of until this freaking awesome movie

Death to false metal indeed. Thanks for the great breakdown on the locations! Sammi Curr lives! 🤘☠️🤘

As a normal working stiff, I don't get around much. I consider it a treat just to go to the local shopping center or grocery store. Let me say, I LOVE your videos. I love that you take us all with you on these fun trips. Thank you very much.

Tony Fields aka Sammi Curr was in Thriller, Beat It and Captain EO. A great dancer and performer. Immortilised forever as Sammi Curr

That sign out front of the house at 11:25 should say Sammi Curr's life mattered!

I spoke with the homeowner of the house Sami explodes from and meets the cop. She had no idea her house was in the movie. Very sweet lady and was fascinated when I pointed out the window for her. Excellent video, Sean!

Oh god. I love it. 80s , pure 80s, one of my favorite movies ever! Sammi Curr lives! 😄🔥💿🔥🎃

Thanks Sean for taking me behind the scenes down memory lane. I remember watching that movie when it first came out. I was 16. Great memories! One of my all time favorite nostalgic movies! I watch it every Halloween! Thanks again man! Keep up the great work!

I cant express how much love I got for this film. Honestly I've been begging scream factory to put out an edition for years. Thanks for taking the time out to do this brother 🤜🤛

This is the single, most comprehensive telling of the history of one of my favorite movies of all times!!! This movie so accurately captures how it was back in the 80's for metal music; Outcasts, Satanic Panic, The PMRC. I saw this in the theatre when it came out and watch it multiple times every Halloween Season. As a metalhead and fan of most of the bands featured on Eddie's bedroom walls and the FastWay Soundtrack, I have been collecting everything I can "Trick Or Treat." If this movie ever gets a proper re-release, this video should be included in the Bonus Features. It is that good. Even as a major fan of the film I learned many things I didn't already know. Well done brother.

Sean suffers for our pleasure....what a guy😊❤👍💪🇬🇧

Great video. They really need to put out a special edition blu ray of this. I'm sure the music is why it's hard to get the rights

No way!!! I still love this movie and soundtrack!! The 1st one I bought with my own real money!! So happy to see it get love and be remembered!!! You're the best!! TY for doing this ❤❤💋💋

Awesome! I can't wait to get home and watch this🎃. ...ahhhh, screw it. I'm gonna watch this at work. Don't tell anyone 🤫

What up Sean, you have the best intro on KZfaq I love it, thanks for sharing this video with us you rock

Thank you so much for this, Sean! This is easily one of the most underrated 80’s films. Fingers crossed that someone can get the rights sorted out on this. This needs to be on the special features if we ever do get a proper release. I can see it now…a bunch of great Red Shirt Pictures features from Michael Felcher and this kick ass Horrors Hallowed Ground episode right in the mix. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Loved it! Brings back so many memories watching horror flicks on Friday and Saturday nights back in the 80's and my time working in a video store. Thank you!

Awesome! Luv a new video

I remember seeing this and thinking I could never see Skippy the same lol. Love Wilmington. When we let the tax incentives expire most productions left unfortunately. Lost a lot of work when that happened. Excellent work, Kind Sir!🤘😊

Sean I just want to say thank you so much for doing this! I adore this movie and it doesn’t get nearly enough love and I can see that you love it probably even more than I do but it is fantastic to see all of this. I wish we could get Marc Price up here to Alberta. Thanks again buddy this was fantastic. 🎃⚡️🎃

Awesome job!!!!

Thank you

I have literally drove on that bridge for years whenever we took a beach trip. Never knew Trick or Treat (1986) was filmed in NC. Awesome video Sean!

This was filmed in my back yard..... great job as always.

They also used a hustler magazine in the radio station in the guards hands as he was. Sleeping it was the july 1986 issue

Yes! Thank you, Sean! My favorite 80's horror film, getting the HHG treatment.

Fantastic Sean. Loved this. Have not seen this movie in years. Need to revisit it.

Such a badass movie and video great job Sean 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎃🎃🔥🔥

I have to watch this gem again soon! You always remind me of classics I haven't seen for a while! Thanks Sean!👍🎃🖤🎃🖤🤘

Yes! One of my favorites!

Tony Fields was a solid gold dancer from that old tv show

One of my favorite horror films of the 80s, so glad you got around to highlight its locations; I don’t think anyone else has done so. Been trying to track down props from this film, but no luck so far.

Sean this was cool!! Love the film, awesome detail on the locations!!🙏🏽🎃❤️‍🔥☠️🤘🏻

Great work, Sean! I’ve never seen this movie but HHG is always entertaining regardless and then I just add it to my list of films to watch anyway.

Love this movie thanks for doing this 🤘🏻

Never stop making these location videos!

Great movie way underrated! Hey i met you at texas frightmare weekend in 2022 and had my pic taken w you i mentioned the nightmare on elm street video of hollowed grounds you made and how much i liked it. Anyway great videos bring back a lot of memories. Thank you!

This was very good, enjoyed all those little bits of info that I would have never known, this is one of those hidden gem movies!

Thank for this video I really like this movie greetings from Chile

Love that Movie

This is an awesome video sean. This is still my favorite metal horror movie I was 18 when it was released and I went to the movie theater like 6 days in a row with the soundtrack on a cassette from fastway rockin out. I heard rumors this is getting a proper blu ray American release we need this so bad. I have the DVD and the German blu ray but we need a real US 2k or 4k transfer. " Hey metal head you're in the shallow end" Keep up the amazing videos your buddy Dave vandroff

Thanks man!! Graduated from Hoggard in the 80's and then went to UNCW. Been to those locations many times. 1000 thumbs up!! 👍

Love that era

😍 Im in a time warp catapulted back to the 80s, awesome vlog seeing Trick or Treat locales 👍🏻

Great Job Brother !!! Loved It !!!

Oh man, Ive loved this movie since first seeing it in the late 80s and I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and now bluray, I didn't know many of the facts you gave here. Thanks! 🎃👍

This is beautiful! The house looks almost exactly the same! I love this movie!

I adore Trick or Treat.Cool seeing the locations. I can’t believe it was 1986! I must have seen it in 1987 then during a matinee - when we skipped class (again) - at this small artsy theater In out town. That always showed indie, horror and student movies during the afternoons. And it would cost you the equivalent of 2 dollars. Great times.

Very cool!! Love part in movie with Ozzy. Great location tour!!

I first saw you when you collaborated with Scott on film, Grimm Life and Adam the Woo, but you were the only vlogger I hadn’t watched. Then this came up and couldn’t click fast enough. Trick or Treat has always been a fave of mine. I saw it when I was 9 and getting into Kiss and Alice Cooper, so it freaked me out. Sami still does freak me out a little.

Home run with this one Sean!

Such a fun horror movie with a great soundtrack driven story.

Fun flick! I was JUST looking at the new Gutter Garbs shirts for this...opened KZfaq...and your video popped up. Synchronicity? Or is there some anniversary coming up? Finally getting a good US blu release? Hope so!

Great movie
