Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Legend Led Zeppelin Set to Take His Love for Halloween to Terrifying New Heights with First-Ever Halloween-Themed Movie, Premiering October 31, 2025

Led Zeppelin, the iconic band that redefined hard rock and heavy metal in the 1970s, is stepping into an entirely new realm of creativity: horror cinema. In a surprise announcement that has electrified both music and film communities, surviving members of Led Zeppelin revealed plans for their first-ever Halloween-themed movie, “No Quarter: A Halloween Hymn,” set to premiere globally on October 31, 2025.

The film marks a groundbreaking moment not only for fans of the legendary group but also for the horror genre itself, as it blends Zeppelin’s dark mystique, occult imagery, and sonic legacy into a terrifying and atmospheric cinematic experience. The project is spearheaded by guitarist Jimmy Page, known for his fascination with the supernatural and occult lore—a theme that has woven through Zeppelin’s discography for decades.

A Haunting Concept Rooted in Zeppelin Lore

“No Quarter: A Halloween Hymn” draws directly from the band’s mythology, centering on a storyline inspired by their eerie 1973 track “No Quarter,” a song long speculated to contain hidden occult references and esoteric symbolism. The film follows a tormented musician who uncovers a cursed musical composition—rumored to be written by an ancient secret society—that opens a gateway to a malevolent, spectral world.

According to Page, the script is a love letter to classic horror films like The Wicker Man, Rosemary’s Baby, and Suspiria, while also heavily influenced by Aleister Crowley’s mysticism and the band’s legendary stay at Headley Grange and Page’s own Boleskine House.

“We always flirted with the dark and the arcane,” Page said during a press conference held in London. “This film gives us a chance to push those themes further and create a new legacy that connects music and horror in a way that hasn’t been done before.”

The Zeppelin Cinematic Universe?

Fans have long speculated about Led Zeppelin’s potential for a broader artistic expansion. Their one and only concert film, The Song Remains the Same, released in 1976, was part live performance and part dreamlike fantasy sequence. “No Quarter: A Halloween Hymn” will be a full narrative feature, with a theatrical storyline, elaborate set designs, and an original score composed and produced by Jimmy Page himself.

The remaining members of Led Zeppelin—Robert Plant and John Paul Jones—are reportedly involved in the film as executive producers. Plant will also contribute vocals to a haunting new rendition of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You,” reimagined for the film’s climax. Archival audio of late drummer John Bonham is also being incorporated into the score, lending the movie a powerful and authentic Zeppelin vibe.

A Star-Studded Cast and Acclaimed Director

British filmmaker Ben Wheatley, known for his atmospheric and psychological thrillers such as Kill List and A Field in England, is attached as the film’s director. Wheatley, a lifelong Zeppelin fan, described the opportunity as “a dream dipped in shadow.”

“The film will be an odyssey—part horror, part hallucination, part rock opera,” Wheatley said. “Led Zeppelin’s music is inherently cinematic. Their songs don’t just play—they conjure.”

The lead role of the tormented musician will be played by rising British actor Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things), while acclaimed actress Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Last Night in Soho) plays a mysterious witch who guides—and possibly deceives—the protagonist.

Music as a Portal

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the film is its soundtrack. Rather than recycling Zeppelin’s classic hits, the band is creating an entirely new sonic experience. Page has composed over 40 minutes of original music for the film, combining analog tape loops, vintage synths, and acoustic instruments to craft a soundscape described as “ritualistic and unnerving.”

“The idea is that music itself becomes a portal in the story—and in the theater,” said Page. “It’s not just background music. It’s the spell that drives everything.”

Fans will be able to purchase the film’s soundtrack on vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms the same day as the film’s premiere. A limited-edition collector’s vinyl set will include handwritten notes from Page and unreleased rehearsal tapes from the early ’70s.

Halloween 2025: A Night to Remember

“No Quarter: A Halloween Hymn” will debut in select IMAX theaters on Halloween night, followed by a worldwide streaming release on November 1. Special screenings will include live orchestral performances of the score and Zeppelin tribute bands performing classic hits before the show.

Hard rock fans, horror aficionados, and cinephiles alike are already calling this the most anticipated music-meets-horror crossover since Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses. But for Zeppelin, it’s not about following trends—it’s about channeling the primal, mystical energy that has always been at the heart of their work.

“This film isn’t just about Halloween,” Robert Plant said in a pre-recorded message. “It’s about fear, transformation, and the magic of sound. Zeppelin was never just a band. We were—and still are—a spell. Now, the world gets to see what that spell looks like when it’s cast on the silver screen.”
