Horror a Go-Go

I've been trying to transition one of my political blogs into more of a true crime/politics format. crime blogging however is a definite drag on the psyche. Most crime stories are like horror movies once you delve into the details. Horror seems like more of an escape in fact after reading reports of man's inhumanity to man, as it'd be a different world if violence and indignities were committed not by our friends and neighbors, but deformed monsters who we could avoid if we saw them.

With that in mind, a horror themed post tonight. Starting out with horror rock upstarts and future movie star monsters Lordi with their shock anthem Hard Rock Hallelujah:




Here's a vid of of Alice Cooper performing his song The Black Widow from a 70s T.V. special promoting the release of Welcome to my Nightmare. Vincent Price co-stars.

A brilliantly animated version of Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death.

The Horror Pops performing "Misstake"

Glen Danzig talks about his book collection.

Kate Bush's Hammer Horror.

Finally, the horror of Elvira-singing and dancing.

Now get some sleep.
