Okay, I’m just gonna say it.
Queen of the Damned (2002) was an atrocious film, particularly if you had read the book. They left out so much that the movie didn’t exactly progress logically. However, the soundtrack was enough to – almost – save it. Hell, the scene in the tub while “Change (In the House of Flies)” by Deftones plays makes the entire film! Lol.

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”

My favorite song from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack.
It is October!!!! The weather is cooler, my football team is undefeated, and I’ve already bought some Halloween swag because, let’s be honest, it’s the best holiday. So now it’s time for my Halloween playlist. I didn’t do this last year, but I swear it will be tradition from now on.
First and foremost, I have to include some Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper, because honestly, how can you go wrong with either?
1. Marilyn Manson: “Dope Hat”
2. M. Manson: “Tourniquet”
3. M. Manson: “The Dope Show”
4. Alice Cooper: “Some Folks”
5. Alice Cooper: “The Black Widow”
6. Alice Cooper: “Welcome to My Nightmare”
Now, there are several songs by several bands/artists I put on my previous Halloween playlist that I would still highly recommend. For instance, “Love You to Death” by Type O Negative, and The 69 Eyes’ “Velvet Touch.” You just can’t go wrong with anything that has an eerie, sexy, dark vibe to it.
This year, I have discovered a few more bands/artists I feel must be honored during October.
7. Ghost: “Square Hammer”
8. Ghost: “Missionary Man” (a cover, but I’m obsessed!)
9. Ghost: “Body and Blood”
10. The 69 Cats: “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” (another cover; still a must-have!)
11. Third Realm: “Dance Like You Wanna Die”
12. Third Realm: “Sick Mind”
13. Third Realm: “Invitation to Hell”
14. Amerakin Overdose: “Dead Girl on the Dance Floor”
15. Fever Ray: “The Wolf”
16. Levitika: “Zombie Barbie”
17. Puscifer: “The Undertaker”
18. Tim Skold: “Better the Devil”
19. Tim Skold: “Neverland”
20. Lisa Hannigan: “You Haunt Me”
21. 9 Electric: “Naked”
22. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: “Red Right Hand”
These are simply my recent finds! Add in some Depeche Mode, London After Midnight, and Rammstein, as well. I personally love the gothic industrial genre. Or you can just throw on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, which I love!
