Shock 'Em Dead, also known as Rock ‘Em Dead, is a 1991 comedy horror film written by Mark Freed, David Tedder and Andrew Cross, and directed by Mark Freed. It stars Stephen Quadros and Traci Lords in one of her first post-adult film roles.[1] The film is a thriller with a music comedy twist, a self-aware take on metal guitarists from the 1980s,[citation needed] and is also notable for featuring Nitro guitarist Michael Angelo Batio as a guitar double. It was Aldo Ray's last film.
