Hell-Week Horrorpunk!

HALLOWEEN EDITION!!! Horrorpunk has had a HUGE influence on our lives here at Single Second. This might turn out to be a long post but I'm going to try to do a brief history of my love with Horrorpunk.

It obviously starts with my favourite band of all time... The Misfits. There are so many songs I could have picked. Leave a comment and tell us your favourite Misfits song.




Next band would have to be AFI. Although never really a horrorpunk band, they were most definitely influenced by The Misfits. Here's them covering Demonomania, and pretty much their best song.



After being obsessed with those two bands I started looking everywhere all over the internet for any band that was horror related. Here are SOME of the best ones I've found.

You would be hard pressed to find a better crooner out there than Nim Vind.


I actually have a tattoo inspired by some of the art in Calabrese's album 13 Halloweens.


Zombeast. Obviously heavily Samhain influenced.


I was always uninterested in these guys based on their name, but once I gave them a listen I was hooked.


And lastly, not as much of a horrorpunk band as the rest, but easily one of my favourite bands ever, Cancerslug blurs the lines between punk, doom, horror, folk and even metal at times.





Bonus: SAMHAIN

This one is for all you Elvis fans out there. Best Elvis cover ever.

Unsuspecting Horror

You can find these all over youtube. They're re-cut movie trailers of comedies or family movies to look like horror movies. Sometimes I wish that every movie ever made was a horror, now I can pretend that most of them are.

This first video was found at Albotas.

I want these! Real Skateboards Summer 2009

These are more than a "I want these", to me these are a "I need these and will own these!"





Seriously, if anyone who reads this know where I can get (order) these from, please let me know!

It Was The Wrong House

If you've ever seen the original Last House on the Left you'll know the potential this movie has. I'm usually 50/50 on classic horror movie remakes. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, bad, Dawn of the Dead, good, Wicker Man, bad, The Hills Have Eyes, good etc. So this could really go either way. It will never ever have the weird eerie vibe of the 70's version. It just had a feeling to it that is hard to describe, I would recommend watching it. What I can hope for from this is more intensity and actually more gore. Because it can never capture what the original did, I really just hope they do what it didn't. I'm not really sure what it is that makes me like or dislike a horror remake, maybe this one will have "it".



And the original.
