Metal bands with horror movie lyrics/samples/references

[Antym666]

Can anybody recommend some? The farthest I know of is Mortician, who use a fuckload of horror movie quotes as intros..... Very cool

Wednesday 13 uses alot of horror refrences in his music. His last album (Fang Bang) had songs based on the movies An American Warewolf in London, Halloween, and Friday the 13th. And a song about Vincent Price.
Some of his eariler work with Murderdolls and The Frankenstein Dragqueens from Planet 13 is also largly infulenced by horror movies.

Thats a fansite in the UK. Mr.13 apprently dosnt update his own website. Theres links on there to his Myspace though.

The Misfits come to mind also. Some of there songs are based on horror movies.

[The Mad Monk]

A few that spring to mind:

Akercocke used a lengthy sample from an episode of the Hammer House of Horror TV series ('Guardian of the Abyss') as the introduction to their 'Choronzon' album.

Entombed used a few samples from The Masque Of The Red Death (starring Vincent Price) scattered throughout the song 'Living Dead' on the album 'Clandestine'. ("There is no other god! Satan killed him!" and "death has no master", possibly a couple of others I can't remember).

Theatre Of Tragedy also used a very long sample from Masque of the Red Death during one of their songs - I can't remember the title, but it was from the album 'Velvet Darkness They Fear'.

Not too well known, but when Dominion were a demo band they were called Blasphemer, and on their demo (called 'Dominion', confusingly enough) it starts with a sample from Hellraiser.

'Dead By Dawn' by Deicide - no samples in this one, but it clearly seems to have been inspired by the first Evil Dead film.

I think Necro does, I know for a fact he sampled the theme to Suspiria in his. White Zombie has some awesome quotes in his songs, everything from Russ Myers to John Carpenter.

It's a fuckin' killer album. I'm not a real big fan of death metal these days but this is just to good to ignore. You should love it!
