Classic Horror Lives

Classic Horror is alive and well and this is the place to share all those great memories and new experiences with those who know that you just can't keep a good monster down. I have plenty to share and love hearing others show thier love for the great old universal and hammer classics. Share a great collectable find or seek help in finding that missing piece. Come on in and flashback to the good ole days. Please feel free to comment on any post no matter how old.

Rock and Roll and Monsters

Peanut butter and Jelly, Milk and Cookies, Me and Playboy bunnies, some things just go so well together and one of my favorites is Monsters and Rock and Roll. Thanks to all them hard rockers out there we got some great horror movie songs. Sometimes horror movies contribute in other ways such as band names. Black Sabbath got their name from a old Boris Karloff movie. Some of the best horror movie songs are as follows.

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Phantom of the Opera - Iron Maiden

Murders in the Rue Morgue - Iron Maiden

Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

Monster Mash by Bobby Picket wasn't a monster movie but still gets a honorable mention

Dragula - Rob Zombie

a couple of guitars that should be mentioned

Kirk Hammet's mummy guitar

Phil Collin's dracula guitar
