The Scream by John Skipp
2.0
I didn't like "The Scream" one bit.
I'm an eighties kid, alright. One of my all time favourite movies happens to be Trick or Treat , a monumental, humongous piece of crap of a horror movie about a snuffed rockstar coming back from the dead because some bullied high-school kid spins his records backwards. Pure, unadulterated & delicious eighties cheese, boyos. Check this out: https://youtu.be/pjOnfKvqGEQ ("Gonna drive my long steel missile down on your love channel")
Even though "Trick or Treat" is so utterly stupid watching it will make you a total idiot (and that's the main reason I love it so much), it features one of the most magnificent soundtracks evah, this:
Fastway's "Trick or Treat" is an underrated hard rock masterpiece from the eighties, featuring Flogging Molly's Dave King's pipes and "Fast" Eddie Clarke's smoking stratocaster.
That said, I went through "The Scream" hoping to find the same sort of mindless Trick-or-Treat fun, but was sorely mistaken.
Unfortunately this book is a mess, and not in a good way. In my worthless opinion, it would have been a whole lot better without all the flashbacks, the pointless Vietnam bits, and the couple of hundred pages dealing with the interior turmoil of the characters.
Two disappointed stars.
