  • The main villain in the 1986 Horror Film, "Trick or Treat," was Sammi Curr, a heavy metal icon who died in a hotel fire. Through naïve teenagers and the plot devices of the 80’s horror world, Curr comes back to life and terrorizes the students of the high school he went to previously. It turns out that your parents were right, and Rock and Roll really is the devil's music.

    For what it is worth Curr is played by Tony Fields, who danced in multiple Michael Jackson videos, got his start as a back-up dancer for Debbie Reynolds and was on Solid Gold. Not exactly the resume of a resurrected metal god gone homicidal, is it?
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Trick or Treat (1986)
  • Actors: Tony Fields
  • Songs you may remember: Songs in the Key of Death
  • Why you should vote:: There aren't too many rock stars who are the main antagonists in horror films. This one was decent.
  • Why you should not vote:: Gene Simmons (who was in the movie) seems more likely to cause destruction, not the guy who was a Solid Gold dancer.
