Fear No Evil

Fear No Evil is a teenage Antichrist movie from 1981 that I had never heard of until Horror Queers devoted their latest episode to it -

- and What The Hell that soundtrack - The Ramones, The Boomtown Rats, Patti Smith, Talking Heads and the Sex Pistols’ “I am an Antichrist, and I am an anarchist!” being literalised and played over the trailer.

Life can be so surprising.

Being (kind of) on the side of the Antichrist is an interesting stance. Damien: Omen II considered it for like one scene a few years earlier in 1978, before Good Omens ran amok with the idea. And on TV Reaper had several options on top of its “crappy first job metaphor Buffy with slacker guys doing Brimstone” setup.
