Send a text Do you love horror movies with a hero who is a rockin non-conformist that can't wait for a gaggle of preppy pricks to get their comeuppance?  And also, Gene Simmons as a disc jockey, Ozzy Osbourne as preacher, and acclaimed Solid Gold dancer Tony Fields (RIP) as a recently crispified and mostly deceased hard rock idol? You might think this sounds like a fever dream, but it is actu...
