Watch: Trick or Treat 1986 123movies, Full Movie Online – Hard rock idol Sammi Curr burns to death in a hotel fire. His biggest fan, Lakeridge High School student and resident metal head Eddie Weinbauer is devastated by the news and turns to local radio DJ “Nuke” for emotional support. After a heated discussion about the deceased rock star, Nuke presents Eddie with a rare demo record, the last ever recorded by Sammi and the only copy in existence. Overwhelmed by Nuke’s generosity, Eddie accepts the gift without hesitation, unaware of it’s dark role in things to come. After constant humiliation and a near drowning at the hands of school bully Tim Hainy and his sports jock friends, Eddie becomes enraged and vows revenge on all those who have wronged him, much to the dismay of love interest, Leslie and best friend, Roger. Alone in his room with feelings of rage and retribution racing through his mind, Eddie places the new record onto his stereo and is shocked to discover that he can communicate with the deceased rock star when it is rotated backwards. Playing upon both Eddie’s loyalty and emotional vulnerability, Sammi instructs the teenager on how to get back at those who have caused him so much pain, instructions that the easily manipulated Eddie carries out, prompting the usual ‘underdog gets his own back’ results. At first it’s all fun and games as Hainy and his cohorts get their just desserts, but when Hainy’s girlfriend is nearly killed by supernatural forces, Eddie realizes that he is nothing more than a pawn in a much more sinister plot and wants out. When Eddie tries to destroy the record, an evil version of Sammi is resurrected (complete with supernatural powers) and goes on a rampage at the high school Halloween dance, turning Eddie’s involvement with the devilish rock star into a spine tingling nightmare not only for the young headbanger, but for his school and hometown as well. Can Eddie stop the demonic Sammi before he sends the entire town straight to hell? One thing’s for sure, the teenagers of Lakeridge High are in for a Halloween they’ll never forget..
Plot: 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.

How Much More Metal Can It Be? None, none more metal
TRICK OR TREAT is a fine example of Hollywood jumping on the “backwards messages in metal music” bandwagon that Tipper Gore and her Washington Wives kick-started in the mid-’80s (other, less successful entries in this mini-genre include the awful BLACK ROSES and silly THE GATE). I was a sophomore in high school when TRICK OR TREAT came out and couldn’t wait to see it. It seemed to disappear from video stores by the end of the ’80s, but I finally picked up a budget-priced DVD copy a short while ago and it brought back many pleasant metal memories from back in the day. Any teenage metal nerd could relate to the trials of Eddie “Ragman” Weinbauer (Marc Price of “Family Ties”)in this film as he is persecuted by the preppie “beautiful” people in his high school for his heavy metal fashions and musical taste. Eddie’s favorite rock star is Sammi Curr (who looks a lot like Tommy Lee of Motley Crue), who is killed in a hotel fire early in the movie. Eddie is inconsolable till he receives a test pressing of Sammi’s final, unreleased album from a radio DJ (Gene Simmons of Kiss in a brief cameo). Eddie soon discovers that this LP, when played backwards, allows him to communicate with the undead spirit of Sammi Curr himself! Soon Sammi is giving Eddie advice on how to get even with his preppie torturers but when the messages escalate in scariness (“Waste’em ALL… no false metal!”) Eddie tries to destroy the album, which results in Sammi coming back to life via Eddie’s stereo speakers. Sammi rampages to the big dance at Eddie’s high school and takes the stage to rock the crowd and disintegrate a few unlucky “false metallers” before Eddie arrives to save the day and the girl of his dreams. (SIGH) No, it’s not terribly scary in 2006, it wasn’t even scary in 1986, but TRICK OR TREAT is a movie that will bring a smile to the face of any 1980s metaller and has a kick-ass soundtrack courtesy of the cult band Fastway. Well worth seeking out if you’ve ever banged your head or have a taste for B-grade horror movies (or both, like me).
Enjoyable 80’s horror-metal film
There’s always been a marriage between horror and heavy metal, so it’s surprising that they aren’t many horror films featuring metal as the subject- but Trick or Treat is one of the few, and it is quite enjoyable film about a bullied teen finding solace in METAL, but his obsession can be fatal. With certain bands at the time, such as Judas Priest, accused of putting subliminal messages on their records, this film touches upon that as well.The story-Eddie Weinbauer, an ’80s 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.
The film also stars Ozzy Osbourne as a preacher (!), Gene Simmons as the DJ telling the teen not to take music too seriously – but it’s Marc Price who steals the show as a bullied lone teen.
It might not be a classic, but it’s a better film than what it’s made out to be. Sure, there’s cheesiness, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s an enjoyable slice of 80’s pie, love the fashion, the big hair, and the soundtrack by Fastway, Only Child, and others, rocks!!
