My sister Leslie, whose opinion I trust implicitly, has on occasion pointed me in the direction of metal bands whom I might like, mainly because they are horror-themed. I had the beginnings of this listicle with Fans of the Dark, HorrorPops, and The Creepshow, so I asked her to recommend me some more. The following list of artists is curated by Leslie, and I chose my favorite music videos by them. Enjoy!
10. Wednesday 13: “Good Day to Be a Bad Guy”
An homage to Halloween III!
9. Calabrese: “The Dead Don’t Rise”
A fun mash-up of movie genres set to an irresistible beat.
8. Ghoultown: “Bury Them Deep”
A creepy tale set in the old West with truly unsettling animation.
7. Rezurex: “Mi Calavera de Amor”
A haunting love song with gorgeous visuals.
6. The Creepshow: “Sleep Tight”
The song that launched this listicle! An account of revenge from beyond the grave, set to creative filming techniques.
5. HorrorPops: “Walk Like a Zombie”
This is definitely the lowest-quality video in the bunch, but I had to have this song, and the live performance is definitely entertaining.
4. Bella Morte: “Water Through Sand”
Nostalgia tiiiiime! A lovely retro ’80s sound set to eerie cinematography and FX techniques reminiscent of the late 90s.
3. Lesbian Bed Death: “The Witching Hour”
I was torn between this one and “Goth Girls are Easy”, but I like this song almost as much and the video way more.
2. Fans of the Dark: “Night of the Living Dead”
A song (and video) tribute to Night of the Living Dead! What’s not to love?
1. The Birthday Massacre: “In the Dark”
A doll-like doppelganger and homages to Japanese horror movies with a catchy song!
Out of all of these I’ve only heard The Dead Don’t Rise which I like a lot. I’ll have to go check them out. Happy early November!

I hadn’t heard most of them before, either. But my sister knows what’s good. Happy National Men Make Dinner day, which it apparently is. It’s also National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day, so I guess that’s what you’re making. There’s a National day for everything.

I’ll have to run that by the Mrs and see if that flies but I am not at all afraid to make dinner. On the other hand I’m no choco-sommelier. Dear god did I spell that right on the first try lol
