1984's Rocktober Blood starts with Billy "Eye" Harper singing "I'm Back" while his girlfriend and backup singer Lynn Starling watches. Billy tells her off, telling her he's going out on a date with someone else. Before he leaves, he tells her he wrote the song "Rainbow Eyes" for her. Everyone in the band leaves except Lynn, who tries to record some of her own tracks before turning down the recording engineer's come on and going to the jacuzzi upstairs alone.
Billy returns, only to kill the engineer while he's playing pinball by slicing his throat. Then, he impales the engineer's assistant (he must have hated the mix) before smoking some drugs in a metal one hitter while looking like Larry Sweeney. Lynn has no clue any of this has transpired, but she soon finds out that he's killed both of them. Billy wants to make sure his message is coming through as he begins laughing like a villain. Lynn discovers the assistant's body as Billy continues to laugh and menaces her with a knife, demanding that she sing. A passing security guard saves her life and we cut to two years later and the Rocktober Blood Release party.
Billy was captured, tried and executed while Lynn and the remaining band members changed their name to Headmistress. VJ Rick Righteous stops by, does some coke and interviews Lynn about Billy's murder spree and having to finger Billy, which led to his conviction.
Then, while the bands are playing and everyone is dancing and getting their faces painted and smoking cigarettes and break dancing, a mysterious figure appears and tells Lynn she needs to meet with her manager. It's all a ruse, because it's Billy — back from the grave, just like he said he would be. Lynn is left crying in the corner, emotionally decimated by whatever Billy said to her.
I really have to note that there is way too much break dancing for a heavy metal movie. In my experience, these worlds never played well together.
Lynn goes away to a cabin, but Billy's music follows her everywhere she runs, so she tries to aerobic exorcise Billy away. There are more girls sweating in this scene than a Bruce Seven video. The phone keeps ringing, leading to an insane prank phone call (sampled on Acid Witch's "Midnite Movies" EP) that has the caller begging for "hot steaming pussy blood all over my face." The phone just keeps ringing and ringing, even when its off the hook, but look out! Billy's in the house!
