Anyone ever see this?

Trick or Treat from 1986 - great movie, very good soundtrack all by Fastway.

Sometimes a movie can become a perfect little time capsule. "Trick or Treat" is such a movie. I have no idea how seriously the filmmakers intended it to be (the casting implies their tongues were quite firmly lodged in their cheeks), but it hits on, and satirizes, so many themes of its time - the alienation of outsiders, the perceived danger of heavy metal lyrics & backward masking, the fear of satanism - that I have to believe there's some kind of genius at work here.

The main character was where one of my old online handles and nicknames came from - Ragman :leaving:

Never even heard of that tbh m8.. although the name of the movie does ring a bell (not sure if there was a band around at that time of the same name?) Gotta be honest tho and say that kind of rock never really grabbed me. Same goes with ACDC tbh I traversed the ranks of rock pretty quickly from being into Kiss and GnR for about 3 or 4 months and quickly finding the likes of Maiden, Metallica then Slayer and Death metal... from there it was Punk and Skinhead/Oi!. But yeah m8... w/e floats your boat.
