The dead! Are after me!
The 1986 film, Raiders of the Living Dead, features what may be the greatest song ever written about zombies. For your listening pleasure, here is George Edward Lott’s The Dead Are After Me!

Horror Song of the Day: Mater Tenebrarum by Keith Emerson
Inferno (1980, dir by Dario Argento, DP: Romana Albano)
Today’s horror song of the day comes from Keith Emerson’s soundtrack of Dario Argento’s Inferno. I have to admit that, when I first saw Inferno, I thought that Emerson’s music was maybe a little bit too overdramatic for the film but, on subsequent viewings, it’s really grown on me.
Emerson did not have an enviable task, having to follow up Goblin’s soundtrack for Suspiria. But Emerson pulled it off, crafting a score that compliments Goblin’s earlier work while maintaining an identity of its own.
Music Video of the Day: Skulls of Our Leaders by Young Hunter (2024, dir by ????)
Skulls, fire, and loud music in the desert?
Why, that’s perfect for Halloween!
Enjoy!
Bonus Horror Song of the Day: Zombie Stomp by The Del-Aires
If you watched Horror of Party Beach earlier today, you’ll definitely remember this song, which was performed by a Patterson, New Jersey band called The Del-Aires!
Everybody’s doing the zombie stomp!
Horror Song of the Day: Theme From Jaws by John Williams
I’m in a beach-y kind of mood today and today’s song of the day reflects that! From 1975’s Jaws, here’s a piece of music that everyone should instantly recognize, whether they’ve seen the film or not.
Music Video of the Day: Texas Goth by Sinnerella (2024, dir by Maximo Joaquin Vazquez)
It’s true! There are goths in Texas. There’s actually quite a few of them. I experimented with being one back when I was eighteen and writing tortured poetry.
So, this video definitely speaks to me.
Enjoy!
Bonus Horror Song of the Day: Hanging Out With My Family by Damien Carter
Whenever I watch 2010’s Birdemic, I wonder how the birds could possibly want to destroy a civilization that is capable of something like Hanging Out With My Family.
Horror Song of the Day: Main Theme From Psycho by Bernard Herrmann
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.
