#10 - The Allman Brothers "Ramblin' Man" from The Exorcist
Totally boring video but what else did they produce in the 70's? This Southern hexameter goes hand in hand with the most disturbing spider walk in history.
#9 - Kitty Wells "It Wasn't God Who Made Honkey Tonk Angels" from The Devil's Rejects
I love the bizarre feeling of old southern country accompanied by gory slaughter scenes. I guess they didn't wanna put that on YouTube (in my opinion, it's been total crap since Google took over) so here's the soft core version.
#8 - Marilyn Manson "Sweet Dreams" from House on Haunted Hill (1999)
A remake that'll never be as good as the original by Eurythmics, but still sets the mood in this newer version of the classic Vincent Price movie.
#7 - Rob Zombie "House of 1000 Corpses" from House of 1000 Corpses
I guess the title says it all.
#6 - "Freddy's Coming For You" from Terror on Elm Street
Who hasn't had dreams about this?
#5 - Muse "Apocalypse Please" from 30 Days of Night
The song actually didn't make it all the way to the soundtrack but had a pleasing spot in the trailer (here in a fan made video). "That cold ain't the weather - that's death."
#4 - The Cordettes "Mr. Sandman" from Halloween
What reminds you more of Halloween than the repeated humming of "bum bum bums"?
#3 - Jace Everett "Bad Things" from True Blood
Ever seen more good looking opening credits?
#2 - Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers "Monster Mash"
This song was actually never present on any horror movie soundtrack. However, I felt that it earned it's place here due to the fact that it's been a Halloween favorite since it's release for Halloween 1962, and my favorite song when I was in grade school.
#1 - Slim Whitman "I Remember You" from House of 1000 Corpses
Nothing gets me in the mood as this. If you're interested in the more morbid version, click here. The idea of combining manslaughter and necrophilia with some slick hit from 1966 is more bizarre than the insane screenwriting itself.
