“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………

Random Halloween Costume Ideas: Sammi Curr From ‘Trick Or Treat’ (1986)

Upon sitting here thinking about what I could go as for Halloween this year, numerous options crossed my mind:  Barf from Spaceballs, a zombiefied Lemmy Kilmister, or maybe a parrot?  And then it hit me like a lightning bolt!  Has anyone ever gone as Sammi Curr from the 1986 heavy metal horror flick Trick Or Treat?  A quick Google search led me to no results.  Could this be the holy grail of untouched Halloween costumes???

Oh this costume would be a piece of cake.  Just head on down to the local S&M store to get some of the clothing accessories.  Then rip a perfectly good black sheer shirt to shreds.  Next, get an 80’s metal hair wig from literally any Halloween costume shop.  And finally, add some burn make-up effects onto your face and chest, or if you really want to make it realistic – just burn yourself for real.  It’ll heal up just fine.  Now remember, I’m just thinking out loud here about my great Halloween costume idea, so none of you bastards better steal it!  If I see a bunch of Sammi Currs running around LA this year, I swear I’ll lose my shit.  Happy Halloween, everyone!
