The sonic equivalent of an apple with a razor blade hidden in it, “Myers 10/31” is a Halloween treat worthy of its legendary source material. Placing the listener behind Michael Myers’ mask, Blitzkid slash their way through the four-minute tribute to director John Carpenter’s most notorious creation. On a record that includes tributes to The Fog, Hellraiser, Candyman and Nosferatu, “Myers 10/31,” Blitzkid’s paean to the Halloween franchise’s babysitter-stalking boogeyman is a standout. Monstrosity and bassist Argyle Goolsby often turned to horror cinema for inspiration with their 2001 album, Let Flowers Die, being among their most fright film-oriented releases. Like their devil-locked mentors from New Jersey, singer T.B.
Of the countless horror-punk bands clamoring for the title of heir apparent to the Misfits in the 2000s, there’s little argument that Blitzkid were the prime contenders for the crown. The perfect companion to a perfect 1980s slasher, “Dream Warriors” defines a special moment in a beloved franchise. Beginning with a moody, arpeggiated chord sequence, “Dream Warriors” builds to a crescendo of pop-metal triumph through Dokken’s vocal acrobatics and ax-slinger George Lynch’s herculean soloing. rockers fronted by singer Don Dokken entered the nightmare world of dream demon Freddy Krueger with “Dream Warriors.” Appearing on the soundtrack for A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors as well as their 1987 album, Back For The Attack, the song subtly captures the spirit of the film’s doomed heroes without becoming too literal or lapsing into silliness. Often miscategorized as “hair metal,” Dokken were one of the more musically viable bands to come out of the post-Van Halen hard-rock scene.

The tragedy of Talbot’s curse and his impending fate are driven home as singer Bobby Liebling intones, “Shotgun blasts as he runs with the wind/But he just can’t win/It’s the Pentagram.” A hard-hitting track thick with a classic monster movie vibe, “Sign Of The Wolf” deserves a hallowed place on every horror and metal fan’s playlist. A riff-laden metal masterpiece, “Sign Of The Wolf” conjures the plight of the film’s cursed protagonist Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) and the fearsome sign that marks his victims. A driving, uptempo song in the mode of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” “Sign Of The Wolf” draws its imagery from the 1941 Universal classic The Wolf Man. Underground doom-metal trailblazers Pentagram take a grimmer view of lycanthropy on “Sign Of The Wolf (Pentagram)” from their 1985 debut, Relentless. Pentagram – “Sign Of The Wolf (Pentagram)” With tongue (and fangs) planted firmly in cheek, Interior’s sardonic lyrics perfectly capture the monstrosity and awkwardness of teenage life, which is hard enough without the added embarrassment of being a werewolf.
Conjuring images of lonely lover’s lanes and moonlit madness, Poison Ivy’s reverb-drenched guitar lines weave seductively around frontman Lux Interior’s increasingly unhinged vocals on this lament to adolescent lycanthropy. Sung from the perspective of the film’s doomed protagonist David Kessler, who knows love can’t survive his lycanthropic curse, “Love Bites,” like the film it’s centered on, teeters on the edge of camp but is just restrained enough to give the heartstrings an irony-free tug.īased on the 1957 drive-in cult classic of the same name, “I Was A Teenage Werewolf” is the fourth track from psychobilly punk demigods the Cramps’ near-perfect 1980 debut album, Songs The Lord Taught Us. One of their best is a drastic departure from their usual metalcore sound, the midtempo ballad “Love Bites,” based on John Landis’ 1981 horror classic An American Werewolf In London. If any band can give the Misfits a run for their money when it comes to incorporating classic horror films into their music, it’s Ice Nine Kills.
Featuring Pantera ’s Phil Anselmo (credited as Anton Crowley on guitar) and lyrics as brutal as Fulci’s gore-strewn, apocalyptic imagery, “And You Will Live In Terror” is Necrophagia at their breakneck best. Killjoy, a lifelong devotee of filmmaker Lucio Fulci, pays tribute to the Italian horror master’s most celebrated film The Beyond with “And You Will Live In Terror” from theirs 2000 EP, Black Blood Vomitorium. Necrophagia – “And You Will Live In Terror”įounded by the late Frank “Killjoy” Pucci, death-metal pioneers Necrophagia began using horror film elements from their inception on songs such as the Evil Dead -inspired “Ancient Slumber” from their 1987 debut, Season Of The Dead.
