Halloween
Song of the Day — Creed: “What If”
I’m sure this has been my song of the day before. Not only is “What If” my favorite Creed song, it’s also on the Scream 3 soundtrack – and y’all know I love those movies! This is also my favorite Creed video for a few reasons, one of which is a peek at Mark Tremonti’s abs. Lol.
Song of the Day — Warren Zevon: “Werewolves of London”
Song of the Day — Ozzy Osbourne: “Bark at the Moon”
What is the week leading up to Halloween without a little Ozzy?
Throwback Post: Top 5 Music Videos Based on Horror Films
This post was originally published in October 2019.
It’s October, which means spooky season, my favorite time of the year! I would have done a lot of horror/Halloween-themed posts if everything hadn’t been so hectic. But alas, that’s life.
With that being said, there are still seven days left until the month’s end, so I have time to get some of my Spooktober ideas uploaded.
My first special post for October is a Top Five list featuring music videos based on horror movies! Over the years, several artists have paid homage to their favorite scary film. The trend is most prevalent in the rock and metal genres, which is appropriate, don’t you think?
And here we go! (These are in no particular order.)
1. “The Kill” – Thirty Seconds to Mars // Based on Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining
2. “Beim Ersten Mal Tut’s Immer Weh” – Oomph! // Based on the psychological thriller Hard Candy, directed by David Slade and starring Ellen Page
3. “Engel” – Rammstein // Based on the snake dance scene in From Dusk Till Dawn
4. “Living Dead Girl” – Rob Zombie // Based on the 1920 silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, with a nod to White Zombie as well
5. “Hell in the Hallways” – Ice Nine Kills // Based on the film adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie
Song of the Day — Ice Nine Kills: “IT is the End”
Song of the Day — Andrew Gold: “Spooky Scary Skeletons” (The Living Tombstone remix)

Throwback Post: Top 5 Songs About Vampires
This post was originally published back in 2019.
Happy Halloween!!!!
Have you ever stopped to think about how many artists have written about vampires over the years? I’m sure there’s a case to be made for other supernatural creatures, but vampires are my favorite so I’m gonna feature them.
Note: This list is in no particular order and doesn’t even begin to skim the surface of its subject matter.
1. Die Krupps: “The Vampire Strikes Back”
Fun fact – This track was listed as a Rammstein song entitled “Vampire” years ago, and many people still believe it’s them.
2. Type O Negative: “Suspended In Dusk”
3. Atreyu: “The Crimson”
How could I not include Atreyu? They did an entire album centered around vampires!
4. David Draiman: “Forsaken”
This may be my favorite on the list. David Draiman’s voice is so ridiculously sexy, and he fits the whole eerie vampy vibe very well.
5. Blutengel: “Vampire”
