“What would we do baby, without us?? What would we dooooo baby, without us???” Oh, sorry. For whatever reason I have the Family Ties theme song stuck in my head today. And then I got to thinking about Skippy (Marc Price) from that show. And that of course got me to thinking about the 1986 horror/metal hybrid Trick Or Treat! I always loved the original poster art for this movie, so I wanted to show some love to it. So…….gaze your eyes on that Sammi Curr prize below!
To me, this is a quintessential 80’s horror movie because it combines the horror AND the metal – two of my passions back then and still today. But the poster art really stuck out to me, including the font used for the title. The use of the jack-o-lantern is rad (figured I’d use an 80’s term there), and the tagline “What are you afraid of? It’s only rock & roll.” hits my horror spot. Seek this movie out this coming Halloween, as I feel a lot of people forget about it. A proper Blu-ray/DVD release would be ideal (I’m looking at you, Scream Factory) – but until then, scrounge up your old DVD copies and watch it on Youtube if you have to! Sha la la la………
