Black Roses (1988)

Satanic panic on video
19 October 2017
The small town of Mill Basin is about to become the first place that the band Black Roses will ever play a show. Up until now, they've only been a studio band. And parents are concerned because these guys have taken over the hearts and souls of the town's kids. But do you blame the kids? Mill Basin reminds me of where I grew up — there's nothing to do but have sex and do recreational drugs. And if you have bad self-esteem issues, you're gonna just stay in your room reading comic books, playing guitar, drawing pictures of Leatherface and staring at your Traci Lords poster while listening to Among the Living on repeat. Oh wait — I was wallowing in the past.

The kids come back at their parents with knives, just like Charley claimed they would, like Tony running over his dad (Vincent Pastore of The Sopranos) with a car, another kid shoots his dad in the face and one gets her best friend to hump her father to death (one of these deaths is not like the other). Even virginal Julie goes astray, killing her lecherous stepfather and Moorhouse's ex-girlfriend before transforming into a creature that I can only describe as a fetal pig that makes cat noises.
