Overview

The 1980s are ablaze with Satanic Panic hysteria, and no one is feeling the heat worse than teenage headbanger Mark Looger. His chain-smoking, Bible-thumping mother has declared war on his heavy metal way of life, trashing his records, ruining his chances with Tori Payne, and even calling the barber. Driven to the brink by her righteous fury, Mark dares to meddle in the dark arts and does the unthinkable. He hypnotizes his mother. At first, it totally rocks. She's making him breakfast, handing over her Diners Club card, and letting him throw the biggest party Liberty Bend has ever seen. But there's a fatal flaw in Mark's plan. Her hypnotized mind is also a slave to heavy metal itself. Every twisted lyric becomes a command she must obey. As the hi-fi is cranked to 666, the night spirals into unholy chaos, erupting in a blood-soaked spectacle that becomes everything the PMRC, the six o'clock news, and your parents ever warned you about. Headbanger! is an outrageous and hilarious love letter to 80s metal culture. A savage horror-comedy about music, mind control, and moral panic that finally answers the ultimate question: What if heavy metal really did make you do bad things?
