Overview
Eddie Weinbauer, a metalhead teen who is bullied at school, looks to his heavy metal superstar idol, Sammi Curr, for guidance. When Curr is killed in a hotel fire, Eddie becomes the recipient of the only copy of Curr’s unreleased album, which, when played backwards, brings Sammi back to life. As Halloween approaches, Eddie begins to realize that this isn’t only rock ‘n roll…it’s life and death.

Viewing Notes
Final movie of the marathon and a perfect way to end it. I’d probably have very fond memories of this if I’d watched it back in the ‘80s. It’s a fun take on satanic panic and the PMRC/censorship stuff happening in the 1980s. I think it misses the mark with not having enough kills before the “save the town” part kicks in, but it’s still a pretty fun watch.
