The Bizarre Horror Movie You Never Knew Starred Meat Loaf – /Film

Meat Loaf was best known for his dramatic musical performances and operatic vocals, so people who knew him solely for his musical abilities may be surprised to learn that the man behind "Bat Out of Hell" also acted in a number of films throughout his career. In fact, he has said that he considered himself to be more of an actor than a musician, so it makes sense that he would be in a movie that combined two of his passions even if that movie was "Stage Fright."

Prior to "Stage Fright," Meat Loaf had already racked up quite the filmography with roles in iconic films like "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Fight Club." Interestingly, after playing the doomed biker Eddie in "Rocky Horror," Meat Loaf said he was actually hesitant to star in another musical due to the "infamy" of the horror-comedy. However, 35 years later, Meat Loaf became intrigued by the opportunity to play a struggling musical camp director in "Stage Fright." In particular, he was enticed by the vocal style of his character, which differed from the power ballad style was known for, and his presence ended up being the best thing about the movie.
