Did a great job for the soundtrack.Gene Simmons was a good actor in his small role as Nuke the D.J. This film has stuck with me since my childhood.
shareI also loved the soundtrack. I remember having the cassette tape and played it quite a bit. Not sure what happened to it though lol.

I had the cassette, the cd, and now on mp3. My daughter saw the movie and she wants the soundtrack. Fastway - still rockin.
shareFastway singer David King decided to leave the band after the failure of their third album, which -- unlike their first two albums -- was keyboard-drenched AOR. Suddenly the opportunity to do the soundtrack for "Trick or Treat" was presented to guitarist/main-man Fast Eddie Clarke (originally the guitarist for Motorhead) in 1985. Fast Eddie promptly contacted David King to give him the news and asked if he'd do this album before leaving and he agreed.
Somehow the catchy simplistic style of this album (a la Motley Crue, AC/DC, KISS and the pop-side of Priest) worked and it unexpectedly became their best-selling album. Unfortunately, they didn't reap much financial reward due to the corruptions of the music biz and so King was intent on leaving to do something else musically (and ended up starting his successful Celtic punk band Flogging Molly). Fast Eddie's new version(s) of Fastway never recovered their initial momentum (although Fastway's final album, released in 2011, is very good, albeit with a different singer). What a shame. They coulda been a contenda if King didn't bail. Fast Eddie passed away in 2018 at the age of 67.
