Opera Diabolicus composer David Grimoire has shared his favorite horror films with Bloody-Disgusting. Looking at the list, I realize that it’s almost exactly what I would’ve expected. These are true classics, ones that do the horror genre right. They are also movies that go perfectly with his band’s music. Check out the list below and make sure to check out †1614 (review).

David Grimoire – Opera Diabolicius:

1. The Exorcist – I have a friend that still hasn’t dared to see this movie after seeing a picture of a twisted Linda Blair as a child.

2. The Shining – “All work and no play makes jack a dull boy”, “Here’s Johnny”, “Redum, redrum”. Enough said.

3. The Omen – Really reminds you how creepy children could be. A fantastic movie.

4. Friday the 13th – I grew up with Jason Voorhees by my side. It’s really the essence of 80s horror.

5. Let the right one in (Swedish original version) – This one is as much a horror movie as a nostalgic flashback to the early 80s when I grew up. Exceptional beautiful authentic early 80s scenery and a really nice story.

6. House on Haunted Hill – I really love Vincent Price and this movie is really good even with its corny style.

7. Masque of the Red Death – Another Vincent Price movie based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe.

8. Nosferatu – What’s a 10 top horror movies list without a this Dracula flick?

9. Rosemary’s Baby – The very soundtrack by Krzysztof Komeda makes me shiver.

10. Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn – Even better than its predecessor.

We learned a couple weeks back that the band Ice Nine Kills is joining forces with the slasher video game Dead by Daylight, with an Ice Nine Kills Collection inspired by the heavy metal band now available. Along with the collection, a tie-in music video has been unleashed.

Ice Nine Kills enter the fog today with “Play Dead,” a brand-new single and music video created in collaboration with Dead by Daylight. Written for the game’s 10th Anniversary, “Play Dead” brings Ice Nine Kills into one of horror gaming’s most iconic worlds, uniting two genre-obsessed universes built on suspense, survival, mythology, and the thrill of the kill.

The track was created in collaboration with longtime Dead by Daylight composer Michel F. April and arrives alongside the in-game Ice Nine Kills Collection, allowing players to represent the band inside the game’s ever-expanding horror universe with unique DLC.

Stream “Play Dead” here and watch the Ice Nine Kills music video below!

Ice Nine Kills’ brand new music video for “Play Dead” features Devon Sawa (Final Destination, “Chucky”) and Krsy Fox (Terrifier 3), along with the legendary Tony Hawk.

Ice Nine Kills mastermind Spencer Charnas tells us, “Ice Nine Kills has always lived somewhere between menace and mischief. ‘Play Dead,’ our take on Dead by Daylight, is a collision of hooks, horror, and total chaos. As lifelong horror fans, we find it surreal and an absolute honor to have Ice Nine Kills’ music officially tied to Terrifier, Scream, Ready or Not, and now, the iconic survival horror game Dead by Daylight.”

“Collaborating with Dead by Daylight gave us the chance to step into a world that feels deeply aligned with our creative instincts,” Charnas continues. “The game has an incredible legacy, and that chaotic, eerie, immersive energy is something we respect and admire. We wanted the song to feel like a real extension of that universe, not just inspired by it, but genuinely part of it.”

“Dead by Daylight has always been about celebrating horror in all its forms, and Ice Nine Kills shares that same passion for the genre we have,” said Mat Côté, Head of Partnerships for Dead by Daylight. “We’ve always been big fans of their music, and their creativity and deep connection to horror culture made this collab feel incredibly natural. We’re excited for our players to represent the band in-game with the Collection we created together, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the new Dead by Daylight crossover track the guys cooked up.”
