Echo On Publications is proud to announce that acclaimed horror author David Irons will be novelizing not one, but TWO classic heavy metal horror classics…
BLACK ROSES and TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!
You read that right! Irons will delve deep into the chaos of these fan-favorites, crafting brand-new novelizations that will delight horror readers, film fans, and metalheads alike.
BLACK ROSES (1989) – written by Cindy Cirile, it follows an unstoppable heavy metal band that rolls into a quiet town, only for their music to corrupt the local teenagers with their unholy influence. It is a gloriously over-the-top mix of 80s satanic panic and monster movie! It is one of the wildest and most fun horrors of the 80s!
TRICK OR TREAT (1986) – written by Joel Soisson, Rhet Topham, and Michael S. Murphey, about a bullied teenage heavy metal kid who discovers that his recently dead rock idol may be communicating with him from beyond the grave, which in turn unleashes supernatural chaos on Halloween night. Featuring iconic appearances from Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons as well as a killer soundtrack by Fastway, it remains a heavy metal horror classic.
Whether you grew up renting these on VHS or are discovering them for the first time, you will love what’s in store!
Stay tuned for more information… The amps are warming up… and Heavy Metal is about to get a lot more literal.
