- "Rock and Shock" (81:16, HD) is a making-of for "Trick or Treat," featuring interviews with director Charles Martin Smith, producer/co-writer Joel Soisson, music supervisor Stephen E. Smith, construction foreman Tom Jones, Jr., assistant set costumer Francine Decoursey, costume designer Jill Ohanneson, special makeup effects artist Everett Burrell, composer Christopher Young, and actors Marc Price, Elise Richards, Glen Morgan, Gene Simmons, and Larry Sprinkle. The atmosphere of the mid-1980s is set, finding the rise of the PMRC largely targeting heavy metal music for satanic messaging, leading to some cultural panic, backmasking fears, and the inspiration to use this tension in horror movies. "Trick or Treat" was born via producer Dino De Laurentiis's desire to release a Halloween picture, and Penelope Spheeris was hired to oversee the endeavor, only to be replaced by Smith, who was hunting for helming opportunities. Smith's control and sensitivity are celebrated, and casting is explored, making use of Price's comfort playing nerds and Simmons is described as a "piece of work." Plenty of reverence is offered to Tony Fields, who "completely embraced the part" of Sammi Curr. Shooting commenced in Wilmington, North Carolina, setting up shop in De Laurentiis's own studios, which was also hosted the making of "King Kong Lives." Special effects are analyzed, focusing on work from Kevin Yagher and the creation of a monster than wasn't used for long in the final cut. Production experiences are shared, as Price had to handle some stunt driving and Smith agreed to make a cameo in the feature's finale, which required the management of many extras and costumes. Musical achievements are dissected, putting the band Fastway in charge of Sammi Curr's sound. Perhaps most interesting is talk of a deleted (or never shot) fantasy sequence involving the main characters in barbarian costuming. The release and cult response to "Trick or Treat" closes out the documentary.
- "In the Spotlight: A Tribute to Tony Fields" (15:07, HD) visits a 2023 gathering of friends and family at Davis Senior High School, where they share stories about the actor. Biographical information is provided, tracking Fields's rise to fame, and more emotional moments arrive when discussing his battle with AIDS and eventual death in 1995.
