Eric Powell of 16Volt has sent Bloody-Disgusting his Top 10 Horror Movie list! 16Volt‘s latest album, Beating Dead Horses, came out last week, so make sure to pick up your copy at the Metropolis Records store.

From Eric Powell: “We are really excited about the release of our new album “Beating Dead Horses” on Metropolis Records. This album really achieves that perfect mixture of the heavy rock and electronic elements that we are known for. The album start to finish is our strongest I think. We also have a music video coming out for the song “Burn”. It’s a story about my father who died this year of alcohol abuse. I end up killing him in the video. It’s a little bit of a fantasy vindication for me.”
Check after the jump for the Top 10 list as well as the rest of the exclusive quote that explains why they have to drop off the Thrill Kill Kult tour that also features Twitch The Ripper.

“We will be touring more later this year and unfortunately we have had to leave the Thrill Kill Kult tour early due to them changing the financial deal on us making it impossible financially for us to continue. We are on friendly terms but we aren’t very happy with the situation. In any case look for more from us, we should have a constant stream of things going on. Check out our site, Twitter and of course our Facebook. Thanks and keep it disgusting!”

1. Metropolis
This movie is visually so ahead of it’s time and the FX invented for the movie helped create a foundation for the future of movies
2. Hellraiser
A classic that so many have tried to copy and none will ever achieve. This movie gave me nightmares when i was a kid.
3. Death Proof/Planet Terror
I am a sucker for b-movie’s and you can’t deny the campy style in this retro nod.
4. Macheté
What can I say, Trejo finally got his leading role. He’s in everything and he’s a bad ass. Machete rules.
5. Saw
For me, this one is a staple. It’s mental and physical and it has purpose. It’s not gratuitous gore, there is a message.

6. The Shining
Yes. Seriously. Do we even have to say anything?
7. Devil’s Rejects
Mr. Zombie’s coming out was fun, gritty and had just enough of everything to keep me glued. 
8. Blade Runner
Pris? You had to love her. Not totally horror of course, but it’s in my list.
9. REPO! The Genetic Opera
This is cheating a little since I worked on the movie but after seeing the final cut, I fell in love. Sadly over the heads of many, this one will remain a classic for me.
10. They Live
Invented the cybercreep genre. Can you see them?

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.

The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”

The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.

Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.

As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
