Black Roses

“Live for one night only... that's all they ever need.”

Matthew Moorhouse (John Martin) is a high school teacher in a small, conservative town where the grown-ups have already decided heavy metal is a problem. When a band called Black Roses comes to play, Mayor Farnsworth (Ken Swofford) tries to keep them out. The concert goes ahead anyway, and the town's teenagers start to change. John Fasano directs it as a late-night creature feature, with real metal bands playing loud over the dread.
