Today’s horror song of the day really needs no introduction.
From 1960, here is the main theme from Alfred Hitchcok’s Psycho, composed by Bernard Herrmann.

Horror Music Video Video Of The Day: Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2009, dir by Richard Ayoaode)
And indeed, heads do roll in this video!
The werewolf pays homage to Michael Jackson’s Thriller video. Ironically, Jackson died just a few days before this video was released. Director Richard Ayoade is the same Richard Ayoade who starred in The IT Crowd and The Watch. (Remember The Watch? It wasn’t that bad.)
By the way, this video is a part of a Halloween playlist put together by our own Patrick!
Enjoy!
Bonus Horror Song of the Day: Do It To Me by Riz Ortolani
Since I earlier shared the theme song from The New York Ripper, it only seems appropriate to share another 70s-style Italian horror theme song. From the infamous House On The Edge of the Park, here is Riz Ortolani’s Do It To Me.
Seriously, this is a song that gets stuck in my head every time that I hear it.
Horror Song Of The Day: New York One More Day by Francesco De Masi
Tonight’s horror song of the day is perhaps not as well-known as some of the other songs that I’ve shared. It appeared in Lucio Fulci’s controversial (to put it mildly) giallo, The New York Ripper. That film is so infamous for its violence, nihilism, and killer who quacks like a duck that it is something overlooked that it features a great score from Francesco De Masi.
This is the main theme from The New York Ripper and it captures the movie’s mix of horror and police procedural. It’s the 70s cop show theme from Hell.
Music Video of the Day: Going Down by Raven Numan (2024, dir by Kassandra Powell)
This was actually released in May but it still has a good Halloween feel to it.
Enjoy!
Bonus Horror Song Of The Day: The Lions and the Cucumber by The Vampires’ Sound Incorporation
Today’s bonus horror song of the day comes from the 1971 film, Vampyros Lesbos. The Vampires’ Sound Incorporation was a band specifically formed to do the soundtrack for Jess Franco’s classic portrait of Eurotrash decadence. This song found renewed popularity in the 90s when Quentin Tarantino included it on the Jackie Brown soundtrack.
I like this song. It’s great driving music and it sounds like something that a vampire would actually listen to.
Music Video of the Day: Little Miss Dangerous by Crazy Lixx (2024, dir by Jens Anderson and Danny Rexon)
This would seem to be appropriate for the season.
Enjoy!
Bonus Horror Song Of The Day: Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus
Since I seem to be in a vampire mood today, this only seems appropriate!
Music Video of the Day: Evil Woman by Duran Duran (2024, animated by Juan Pinto)
More bands need to put out Halloween videos. Thank you, Duran Duran, for remembering the season!
Enjoy!
Bonus Horror Song of the Day: Electronic Battle Weapon 7 (Acid Children) by The Chemical Brothers
“You are all my children now.”
Hey, does that voice sound familiar? Who would have thought you could dance to Freddy Krueger?
Some people have told me that they find the clown in this video to even scarier than Freddy.
