Jason Decay, bassist/vocalist for the heavy metal band Cauldron, has sent Bloody-Disgusting his Top 10 Horror Movies. Reading through it, you can tell that this guy loves the cheesy flicks with the ‘so-bad-that-it’s-good’ soundtracks. Check out the list after the jump as well as tour dates and album information.

BLACK ROSES

Starring my favorite actor Frank Dietz and part 3 of the “Frank Dietz Trilogy”. After serving as detective in Zombie Nightmare and bass player for the Tritonz, Frank has been demoted to high school student determined to paint the town red in rebellion to authority protesting his music. Like most of my favorite horror movies, this one features a rad heavy metal soundtrack. And how can you go wrong with a heavy metal band coming to town to do a bunch of free concerts only to possess the youth? They should have made part 2.

ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE

Not a lot of Zombie action going on in this one, but a classic Thor flick to say the least. A rad soundtrack throughout to keep you interested throughout, although its hard to watch those voodoo lady scenes. Jimbo is the highlight of this movie, the movie really drops off after he dies.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2

The best high school titty camp movies ever. Entertaining throughout with a rad soundtrack courtesy of Metal Blade circa 1987 and the most creative death scenes, at least for me.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP 3

Same thing. I just love movies with cool guys, titties, parties, sometimes brutal deaths, and heavy metal.

ROCK N ROLL NIGHTMARE

Not really scary, and hard to figure out the plot but the acting is so bad that its quite entertaining. Actually, the acting, trying to figure out the plot and the rad tunes is this movie are what keep me coming back all these years. Great never ending van scene at the start of the movie!

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1&3

Couldn’t choose between the two so decided to combine them into one. Wanted to pick part 3 but sorta thought maybe that was only because of the Dokken video at the start. Either way these are both great classics for me, no remake’s!!

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 4

Nuff said.

TRICK OR TREAT

What true headbanger can’t relate to this one? Although I wasn’t a loner in high school, any time something went wrong, or especially someone fucking with me or my music I thought of this movie. Get tough, fuck with fire and make them pay!

HALLOWEEN 3

Because.

ROCKTOBER BLOOD

It was a toss up between this and Terror On Tour, and although Terror has the better quotes, this one has the better soundtrack.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

Published

John Squires

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
