Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a short video documentary made in 1986 by Jeff Krulik and John Heyn. The film features footage of passionate heavy metal fans tailgaiting in the parking lot before a Judas Priest concert in Landover, Maryland. In the decades since its release Heavy Metal Parking Lot has become a Cult Classic due to the hilarious comments made by intoxicated metalheads (pretty much everybody in this film is either drunk or stoned off their ass) as well as the way it captures the devotion and hard-partying attitude of the 1980s Heavy Metal community.
