What category are we on please

Necro

And finally we finish off with a trip to the Movies – Halloween Style. So the only criteria here was that your entry needed to have featured in a Horror movie. Easy for some, not so much for other

I’m just gonna play one all-encompassing video for this one…. it's got all the main themes there - but is that what youse submitted?

Format here: Same as before. Another duplicate this round, will it be good or bad news…

In 16th Place, scoring 5 points:

Sawduck

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand

Have I heard of this song: Yes

Hooo boy this could have gone much much worse. I’m not a Nick Cave fan tbh. His voice creeps me out. But… this isn’t his worst tbf – and escapes the bottom three as a result.

mmm, I considered this too. Let's see if my pick was a better idea or not. . .

In 15th Place with 6 points:

Kolido

AC/DC - Hells Bells

Have I heard of this song: Yes

I love me some AC/DC but I was never really gone on this track tbh. So I think this is a fair placing for it.

The Rake’s Song – Decemberists



Have I heard of this song: No

The story the entrant told me in their PM actually gave me a lot of high hopes for this song. And it’s a great track – just didn’t scare me like I expected it to.

You've nerves of steel. He burned his young son's body because he fought back when he was murdering him!!

Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses

Have I heard of this song: Yes

I struggled with placing this one in all honesty as it fits the movie it’s from perfectly when used but I’m not sure I’m gone on it as a standalone track.

Still, it’s given me an urge to rewatch Lambs and that’s always good right?

Yeah but Decemberists
Folksie.....when you dress up bad things with sift music I don't think the intent is conveyed.


I'm a big Decemberists fan though

the purple tin

What films are the songs from?
AC/DC was Maximum Overdrive?
Nick cave Scream i think.

Necro

In 13th Place with 8 points:

I Put A Spell On You by Bette Midler from Hocus Pocus

Have I heard of this song: Yes

Great movie Hocus Pocus. Really enjoyed this entry, clever picking.

In 1st Place with 19 points:

Lordi - Would You Love a Monsterman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Have I heard of this song: No

Haha this is epic. Tbh all I had heard of Lordi was Hard Rock Hallelujah and Blood Red Sandman – surprised this track passed me by because it’s right up my alley. And right on theme for this contest and round. Top picking.

Worthy.

Necro

Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show

Have I heard of this song: Yes

I mean you can’t deny just how infectious this is. I really enjoyed this entry.

ShaneU

Not a single trick or treater, oh well eating sweets until I puke

Necro

In 11th place with 10 points:

LeVar

All Time Low - Toxic Valentine

Have I heard of this song: No

Megan Fox is outrageously beautiful. Jennifer’s Body is a bit meh though. Again, this band was entered into my previous Walrus and I enjoyed that track, but I didn’t get the same vibe off this one.

Still good, but doesn’t just have the oomph I was hoping for.

Literally only heard it for the first time yesterday: Googled "pop songs used in horror movies", listened to a few of the suggestions and this was the best/least worst of the lot. So really not emotionally attached enough yet to care about where it placed!

Very happy with two 6th places in the other rounds though, better than I had expected! :pac:

But yeah, I probably should watch Silence of the Lambs at some point.

Definitely! Cracking film
Great book too

Huey Lewis and the News - Hip to be Square

Very upbeat track and thus does well amidst some of the more gloomy songs submitted. Nice picking.

Necro

In 9th place with 12 points

Mustang shelly

John Williams - Jaws Theme

Have I heard of this song: Yes

This is just a classic. It’s so iconic it really couldn’t go much lower. I think the effects are lost a little bit without the movie but it’s still an amazing piece.

Irish Aris

I think you are correct on both.
and Q Lazzarus from Silence of the Lambs

Sweeney Todd – Epiphany

Have I heard of this song: No

I’m a huge fan of horror and a huge fan of musicals and YET I have never seen Sweeney Todd. I plan to rectify that this evening. Good choice this one.

Necro

In 7th place, with 14 points:

John Carpenter - Halloween Main Theme

Have I heard of this song: Yes

Another iconic piece from an iconic movie. Top quality and well worthy of it’s positioning here.

Necro

In 6th place with 15 points

The purple tin

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bad moon Rising

Have I heard of this song: Yes

What a track. I love CCR so this was always going to do well but this one is on point and on theme.

beakerjoe

The final table will be interesting now. Oooh the tension.

Put a spell on you. TUUUNE

ShaneU

Musicals usually bore me but Sweeney Todd is one of the very few I watched all the way through and enjoyed

Necro

In 5th Place with 16 points

Electric Nitwit

Hush - Kula Shaker

Have I heard of this song: Yes

I mean what isn’t to like about this oldy (and goody). Great choice and just fits with my mood well on listening. After all the sombre and moody songs this is a shining light in the darkness

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Yours to lose now Trig. If my sums are right, myself, beaker, and purple are all tied, and you're the only one who can catch us up...

tubular bells part 1 – mike oldfield

Have I heard of this song: Yes

LOL, he goes for it again. Is it weird I was never gone on The Exorcist? Maybe why this iconic piece doesn’t resonate with me, even the original with lack of dubstep doesn’t change my opinion unfortunately.

The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park

Have I heard of this song: No

It’s like what I said about Hush, these songs just cast aside the gloom and pick me up after a rather trialling few days, and I don't just mean this contest Great choice, that chorus is amazeballs.

ShaneU

If you listened to my song without the scene from the movie it's probably last, if you watched the scene it should be first
