Biography

  • Sid Terror is known for Greg Kihn Band: Reunited (1984), Greg Kihn Band: Jeopardy (1983) and Extended Play (1982).

Trivia

  • In two episodes of the HBO series True Blood, photographs of him and posters for his band Sid Terror's Undead appearing at the Vampire club "Fangtasia" appeared several places on the walls of the character Ginger's house. These appeared in True Blood: Season 6, Episode 3, Episode titled: "You're No Good" (30 Jun. 2013) and True Blood: Season 6, Episode 4, Episode title "At Last" (7 Jul. 2013).
  • Sid got his start in the entertainment business in 1965 (at age 5) when he was chosen to be one of the semi regular kids on popular local afternoon television kids program "The Admiral Jack Show" on WNHC TV channel 8, New Haven, Ct. Sometimes he would even sing a musical number on the show. However his parents made him give it up about a year later when they thought it was distracting him from school work.
  • In 1982 Sid Terror was asked by colleague, director Joe Dea if he knew anyone who could do Special-Effects and Make-Up Effects for the Greg Khin Band music video of the song "Jeopardy". Sid offered to do the effects himself (though his only previous experience at that time was in his own movies in film school) and was hired. The video would then go on to be nominated in the category of "Best Special Effects in a Music Video" that year by Heavy Metal Magazine.
  • Within a couple weeks of filming Steve Jones "Freedom Fighter" music video, Steve's bass player was leaving the band so Steve asked Sid Terror to replace him. Sid had to turn down the offer because he was not available.
  • Sid Terror, besides working with his own band Sid Terror's Undead, is also known as "The Last Of The Blue Caps" having played guitar touring and recording with Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers, Gene Vincent's Blue Caps.
