Top 5: Music Videos Based on Horror Films
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

Story of the Year — “Anthem of Our Dying Day”
Album of the Week: AFI’s The Art of Drowning
This album was released prior to my discovery of AFI, but when I was in tenth grade, my best friend was obsessed with “Days of the Phoenix.” And so I’ve chosen The Art of Drowning as my album of the week!
