Every Halloween, when it comes to entertainment, most people immediately think of horror films…but what about music? Over the years many artists have attempted to bring the “shock” back into rock.
So, if you are hosting a Halloween party this year, here are some performers that will help you turn it into a heavy metal Halloween.
Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is the undisputed king of shock rock and horror in metal. The name and the music is synonymous with frights and eeriness, rocking out with songs like “I Love The Dead,” “The Black Widow,” “Pick Up The Bones,” and many more. Cooper has had Vincent Price guest on his albums, has acted in a few horror movies (fans will remember him acting as the abusive foster father of Freddy Krueger!), and provided a song for the Friday the 13th film series called “He’s Back (The Man Behind The Mask).”
No Misfits? Are you handicapped?

I’m guessing the Misfits weren’t “METAL” enough to be included. To that I respond with “Earth A.D.” ’nuff said.
