Trick or Treat

Neon guitars flicker in a Midwestern basement, October static on the stereo. A boy places a warped record on a turntable, smoke curling from the speakers. His idol now sings through the flames, tuning a vengeance no parent would recognize. This is John Carpenter meets Headbanger’s Ball on a budget of black nail polish and FM distortion.
