Trivia
The film came in 10 minutes short of its required running time. So director John Fasano and star John Mikl-Thor filmed sequences of John Triton driving the band in the van to the farm. Hence, the prolonged opening shots of the van driving to the farm.

Goofs
When John searches downstairs, he's wearing stage make-up and his silver jacket. When he goes upstairs, he's clean-faced and wearing a sweater. Then when he goes back downstairs, he's wearing the make-up and jacket again.

Quotes
John Triton: [losing his patience] You're wasting my time, bub.
Demon: This is incredible! It is almost no fun to kill one so stupid as to not know who it is that slays him! You are in my domain, and I will kill you as I have killed your pitiful friends!
John Triton: [annoyed] Aw, you killed no one, bub!
Demon: WHAAAT?
John Triton: Or is it less familiar to call you Beelzebub? Or do you prefer Abaddon; or as the Hindus called you, Shaitan; or as you are known to answer to, Ahriman? Belial? Apollyon? Asmodeus? Because, you see... I *do* know you.

a perfect 10...because it doesn't even come close

This is the greatest movie EVER!!! Actually, it's so bad it's good. "Rock N' Roll Nightmare" gives you puppet monsters, really boring and long sex scenes, some surprisingly good 80's metal ("Energy" is a favorite of mine), and Jon-Mikl Thor in a metal speedo! The plot revolves around a group of musicians who go to a farmhouse to record their new album (because the city has made them soft!). Little do they know, that a decade ago a demon killed an entire family who lived there. Now the demon is back and starts killing off the band members one by one. Jon-Mikl Thor is a likable actor and you can tell he really tried and put a lot of effort into this film. But the film is extremely cheesy and low-budget. Many consider this to be the "worst film of all time". I would totally disagree with that. The film has charm and a certain campiness to it. The twist ending is probably one of the greatest i've seen in such a bad movie. I actually was surprised at how well the plot twist worked. The director also did the metal horror classic "Black Roses". Overall, this is a cult classic that is pretty tame and cheesy, but it's fun and has heart. WE LIVE TO ROCK!!!
