Trick or Treat Live: 40th-Anniversary Heavy-Metal Halloween at The West Theater

On Halloween night in Barberton, Ohio, The West Theater at 1017 Wooster Rd W becomes a roiling hub of metal, movie fandom, and full-throttle celebration. Trick or Treat Live marks the 40th anniversary of the 1986 heavy-metal horror film Trick or Treat with a big-screen screening, live soundtrack performance, and guest commentary by Marc Price. Doors open at 6:00 PM; the night runs through an encore and afterparty into the early hours, so plan for an extended evening. Inside The West’s compact auditorium, a live band—Midnite Hellion—performs material tied to the film’s soundtrack by Fastway, turning on-screen moments into concert set pieces. A marquee, lobby bar, and tight seating create a social, in-the-round vibe where riffs land hard and fan reactions become part of the show. Expect a comedy opener, a meet-and-greet with Marc Price, a costume contest with prizes, and a DJ that sustains energy after the final encore. Admission generally covers the full evening for one flat price; the event enforces a 21+ age limit and follows a no-refunds policy, so buy intentionally. Travelers who like music-driven nights, cult screenings, and convivial crowds will find this uniquely Barberton experience a high-value use of an evening. Practical tips: bring a government-issued ID, print or show your ticket on arrival, arrive early to avoid long bar lines, and expect to stand or dance through parts of the night. Costumes are encouraged but keep props venue-safe and compact; staff may restrict anything deemed hazardous or disruptive to the crowd. Parking along Wooster Road is limited on event nights, so consider carpooling or a rideshare if you plan to stay for the afterparty. Photographers should aim for pre-show exterior shots of The West Theater’s marquee, wide-angle frames during the live soundtrack, and close-ups of costumed attendees in the lobby. Why this night matters: it resurrects a slice of 1980s metal-and-horror culture in a venue that rewards noise, participation, and spectacle rather than passive watching. For visitors, Trick or Treat Live is a focused, memorable way to spend Halloween in Barberton—bring friends, plan your night, and expect loud guitars, live commentary from Marc Price, and a party that remembers analog terror and analog volume. The program structure—comedy opener, film with live scoring, encore, meet-and-greet, costume awards, then DJ set—means the evening moves rapidly but leaves space for fans to connect with performers and fellow attendees. Tickets often sell out for specialty nights; if you’re traveling from out of town, pair the evening with a dinner in Barberton or an early check-in and make a night of local bars and late-night pizza after the theater closes. Bring ID, buy tickets early, and prepare for an amplified, participatory Halloween unlike any bar crawl. Really wild.
