It’s our Halloween treat to you. Stream Trick or Treat exclusively on SCREAMBOX tonight!

Back in 1986, director Charles Martin Smith introduced the world to rocker Sammi Curr in Trick or Treat, which has gone on to become a true cult classic over the years.

Red Shirt Pictures recently acquired the incredibly rare horror gem and provided it with a brand new 4K restoration that will receive a 4K UHD & Blu-ray Special Edition at a later date.

Expect that release soon from Synapse Films. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.

The first feature from award-winning filmmaker Charles Martin Smith (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), the film featured a cast of soon to be household names including Marc Price (“Family Ties”) and Doug Savant (“Melrose Place”). Alongside rock icons Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, Trick or Treat blends the best of the 1980s metal scene with the decade’s tongue and cheek take on the genre.

Nearly four decades after its release, the film’s nostalgic nuance still resonates, with Cinelipsis declaring “Trick or Treat spells ‘FUN’ with an awesome story of fandom, satanism, and the power of 80s music.” And Juicy Cerebellum adding “I loved metal music when this came out, hence I loved the film.”

This Halloween it’s PARTY TIME. Following the death of his heavy metal idol, a bullied teenage boy inadvertently discovers away to resurrect the rocker. After hearing the news of his hero’s death, Eddie Weinbauer (Price) finds himself in possession of a one-of-a-kind item, the final recording of Sammi Curr. While, at first, the record seems like a godsend, things quickly turn when he discovers its sinister secret. Played a certain way, it has the power to bring the demonic rocker back from the dead and unleash heavy metal Hell on those who get in his way.

The cult classic was written by genre heavyweights Michael S. Murphy (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2), Joel Soisson (Dracula 2000) and Rhet Topham (Freddy’s Nightmares). Trick or Treat also features Emmy Nominee Glen Morgan (The X-Files), Elaine Joyce (Beverly Hills, 90210) and Clare Torao (Cujo); along with its incredible cast, the film would go on to set the bar for horror cameos going forward. The film was produced by Murphy and Soisson, who would go on to collaborate on Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Blue Desert and Modern Love.
