Plot Summary: Action begins with a heavy metal performance in which the performers are made up like monsters. One searches in vain for irony. A man, the agent?, watches horrified. Then cops come with a court order to shut the show down at which point monsters rise from the stage and the fans run screaming from the auditorium. Cut to a different scene in which leather clad rocker types get out of sports cars on an empty road. Strike two. The kids are apparently being seduced by evil rock and roll. A Black Roses concert is coming. Julie is unimpressed with her srwp father. Mr. Moorhouse reads from Whitman about the attraction of evil. Johnny claims that the black roses concert is a case in point. His elaboration is a bit tortured. He describes the parents' move against the concert as a hypocritical attraction to what repulses them...because "the kids" all like it. In any case. The teacher doesn't have a much more plausible analysis of Whitman's statement on evil as a call to open mindedness. We get more on the big Black Roses controversy at the town hall where the disciples of the devil are descried. The concert has already been approved. Johnny is pessimistic about Black Roses playing in Mill Basin. As a revolt against the same old story, Johnny decides to paint the town red. Moorhouse comes on the scene and walks away before the red paint can flares inconsequentially...Huh? Moorhouse alludes to Johnny's act of vandalism in class but doesn't call them in on it. The Black Roses show up in the crummy little auditorium dressed in a rather unprepossessing style. Unfortunately, the music plods along at length. The parents are apparently mollified by the low energy. They go off for a cocktail and the band then heats up as they leave. Moorhouse suspects something but leaves with the rest. The light show starts up and they get all heavy metally. This apparently would have offended the parents. The next day the students appear not to have read their Emerson and a low energy class results. Moorhouse is concerned. Fights break out for no reason in the school yard. The Black Roses apparently came to Mill Basin because they have (almost) never played out before and wanted to work out the kinks in their act before they go to a bigger town. The head of the Roses is strangely in on Moorhouse's "friendship" with Priscilla, the mayor's daughter. He claims to have known Moorhouse's soul for a long time. A record player is turned off and then comes back on without the needle touching it. As father watches, the record starts strangely warping and then a really cheap dragon beast jumps out of the console at him and soon drags him into the speaker. Moorhouse sits down to a little "Eine Kleine Nacht Musik" while the second show starts. The kids have all been given free tickets to the show. They are apparently eviler adhere because they seem to be grimacing more, singing about how they won't stop until they take this town. The fans begin turning into really cheap skull heads. Moorhead's car has its window broken in and he races off to do something about it. Some kids follow him. He finds kids out in the street beating one another and engaging in all sorts of vandalism. Johnny gets home and listens to the Roses song "My Home Town". Next thing you know a female comes into his bedroom and they have a sexual situation. As he leaves, though, she suddenly vanishes. Johnny gets out the family revolver,tells his father he loves him and soon the wall is spattered. Even little Jason is throwing his toys in the fire. A kid runs over his mother. Tina performs a little strip poker and an oldster gets a heart attack out oaf it. At school the next day the students clamor to study a great poet. The Black Roses lead singer, Damian. Moorhouse reports to the mayor that parents are dropping like flies. He insists that Neil, the mayor, come with him to the concert that night. Jenny is in with the counselor about the death of her father. When the counselor opens the window to let her scream, she pushes him out the window, donning a really cheap monster face for the occasion. The virtuous Julie shows up in the library and acts seductively. When he rejects her advances, she blames Priscilla. That night Damian's voice has gotten all demonic. His eyes go pupilless. Julie bludgeons her step father. Julie waits in Priscilla car and coolly cuts her throat. Moorhouse has guessed that Julie may be up to no good and tries to get hold of Priscilla. Too late. Julie comes to Moorhouse's house and he is clearly tempted. Julie suddenly becomes all monstrous (this is done with very poor lighting effects) and becomes a long necked slow moving vampire thing that he fends off with a tennis racket. Moorhouse then gets to work collecting dynamite and other necessities. That night the concert looks like it will be the real kicker. Damian is muttering sweet nothings to his soldiers and everyone is too entranced to notice Moorhouse until he's sloshed gasoline all over the place. Julie's still alive and clinging to Damian who transforms into his actual monstrous appearance. Everyone else has gone monstrous as well. Julie is no longer so attracted to him. Moorhouse then fights with this rubber slow moving devil for a while until he throws a flare at it and escapes. This seems to break the spell as the kids run off leaving the rubber devil to burn inside. A news cast reports that Black Roses will soon be playing at Madison Square Garden.
