Musical Montage: John Parr “Restless Heart”
The end credits song to The Running Man, John Parr pulls out all the stops for the wonderfully insane music video for “Restless Heart”, with tons of unnecessary slow motion, clips from the movie that make no sense and getting incorporated into the movie footage himself.
Horror Villain of the Week: Gill-man
This month’s take over by the Universal Monsters comes to a close with the only underwater monster of the group, The Creature from the Black Lagoon aka Gill-Man.
Musical Montage: Warren Zevon “Werwolves of London”
Our month long horror themed Musical Montage gets closed out by the classic Warren Zevon song, “Werewolves of London” that may have some hidden meaning but seems like just a song about a werewolf running around London.
Horror Villain of the Week: The Wolf Man
After returning to his childhood home, Larry Talbot is bitten by a werewolf and becomes one himself and is unable to stop himself from terrorizing the citizens of the nearby town.
Musical Montage: Rockwell “Somebody’s Watching Me”
A solid follow up to Thriller on your Halloween party playlist, Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” features Michael Jackson on the chorus and a bunch of references to horror movies and TV.
Horror Villain of the Week: Dracula
Coming from Transylvania, Count Dracula arrives in London to satiate his thirst for blood and get a new bride in the form of Mina Harker.
Musical Montage: Blue Oyster Cult “Godzilla”
Forget terrible Jimmy Page/P. Diddy team ups and Green Day remixes, the only true song about the King of the Monsters is Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla”
Horror Villain of the Week: The Mummy
Although Arnold Vosoloo did a pretty good job in the modern remake, you can’t beat Boris Karloff as the original Imhotep from the 1932 classic, The Mummy.
Musical Montage: Lion “Love is a Lie”
Lion’s “Love is a Lie” would be fine to feature for this month’s all horror/Halloween Musical Montage, as it was featured on the Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter soundtrack, but add in Crispin Glover and it becomes something truly special.
Horror Villain of the Week: Frankenstein’s Monster
Since it’s October, it’s time again for the greatest horror villains to take over our weekly Action Hero of the Week feature and this year the classic Universal monsters get their due. First up, the unholy abomination that is Frankenstein’s Monster.
