80s movie fans, who remembers this?

Found this gem (The Wraith) on Netflix last night and must have watched it 5 times over, totally forgot it existed. Anyone else remember this classic? Charlie Sheen at his finest lol. Also a quality soundtrack, Ozzy, etc..

One of my (many) favourite movies from the 80s, I've saw it on a VHS tape when I was a kid and re-watch it again a couple of years ago (thx to the internet!). Classic story of car races, teenage madness & revenge. Good casting, although I didn't knew much about Charlie Sheen or Sherilyn Fenn back then, they were so young and became famous a bit later, I think. I'd like to watch it again for sure.

Remember this one too - there was a few films of the era with a metal connection - Trick or Treat, Shocker, Ghoulies, Demons (I think it was - had Saxon on it)...some others too but cant remember them all.

Shocker was another favorite! Megadeth song was awesome.

Nope, I don't. But even if I had, the movie wouldn't be available here in Romania, as they have only a few titles from the 80s, currently, from what I know.

I remember liking Shocker, too, it was a enjoyable movie, I was looking for it after seeing Megadave's version of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" video.
I haven't saw the other three movies you named, but I remember Maximum Overdrive and Demon Knight having a metal soundtrack. Also, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 had a good Dokken song on it, and I remember about Slayer's Angel of Death riffs in Gremlins 2. Good times.

Yes, forgot about that one too! need to find a way to watch it.

also The Crow above, another I used to watch on repeat, "it can't rain all the time" :) that ones also crazy cause Brandon Lee died during the filming.
