LadyAxe yesterday released her new single/video Better Than The Real Sammi, which is a Halloween tribute to the film Trick Or Treat. Which was released on October 24th 1986. I can confirm this was not on purpose and by pure chance that she dropped the track on the films 36th anniversary. It was meant to be!
It’s a real tongue in cheek video and a really good song that’s well worth a few minutes of your time! Especially if you’re a fan of the 80’s.
She released this statement.
This track was written especially for Halloween.
It is a tribute to the 1986 cult film Trick or Treat, but mostly to the villain Sammi Curr, played by the late great Tony Fields.
The song is deliberately imitative of “After Midnight” by Fastway to get into the vibe of the film. Also, the lyrics contain phrases from the film.
The video is a tongue-in-cheek nostalgia for all those who love this movie!
