His idol is the flamboyant rocker Sammi Curr. When Curr (Tony Fields) dies in a mysterious fire, Eddie is devastated. But despair turns to elation when Eddie discov- ers secret messages — addressed to him —on Curr’s new album. ‘The messages, and some assis- tance from beyond the grave, help Eddie settle a few scores with his preppy classmates. What Eddie doesn’t realize is that Curr is a satanist who has possessed his stereo and plans to return from the grave to rock ‘n' roll his) fans straight to hell. Trick or Treat — directed by actor Charles Martin Smith (Never Cry Wolf, The Untouchables) — blends mild satire with conven- tional horror high jinks, all set to a driving, above-average heavy-metal sound track. The result entertain- ingly replays the popular tale of a high-school nerd who strikes back.

By virtue of an ancestor who was a witch, one ‘member of his party is particularly attuned to satanic goings-on. While the other female members of the party don naughty nighties and en- gage in girl talk, she attracts the at- tention of warlock Luther the Ber- serker, whose quest for blood has made the bayou a place of terror. ‘Talky horror movie offers plenty of eerie scenery but not many thrills. (1987) LeeAnne Baker, Jacquie Fitz Directed by Bruce Hickey. 96 min. Vestron. $79.98. New Amsterdam, in the year 1668. Eva (LeeAnne Baker) is inter- rupted as she conducts a grisly ritual in honor of her master, Satan. ‘Three hundred years later, she must complete the rite to insure eternal life for herself and the crumbling who attend her. No one in New York is safe! Ex- tremely low-budget horror movie whose chief attraction is bodacious Baker, who plays Eva — her triple row of breasts may be a special-ef- fects first — as a platinum-blonde punk with a Flashdance wardrobe and visions of MTV stardom danc- ing in her head. Bloody but dull.
