Best horror SONGS
Some of you know that I've been known to dabble in music. I was a singer/songwriter before I was an actor of a screenwriter.
Lately I've gotten the itch to do some recording, but I'm not really into the songwriting these days, I want to record an album of covers - horror covers. I'm planning on recording them all as simply as possible - ascoustic guitar and voice - like Springsteen's "Nebraska" or Cash's "American Recordings". I've already worked up cool versions of: "Skulls" - The Misfits "Pet Semetary" - The Ramones "Shout at the Devil" - Motley Crue (as a rockabilly rave-up!) I tried "Number of the Beast" but it just doesn't work on acoustic guitar and "Dream Warriors" is just to annoying. I've written a few originals ("Long Pig", "There Coming to get you, Barbara") but they aren't very good. I need 7-10 more for an album. I need suggestions! I love punk/metal songs because they're entire texture changes when you go solo-acoustic on them.

Frankenstein-Edgar Winter group I believe?
For some camp "Bop until you drop" from the Monster Squad The Lambton Worm song from Lair of the White Worm (already danceable English Rockabilly) Rawhead and Bloody Bones/Scarecrow/Carousel by Siouxsie and the Banshees

No love for the Monster Mash?
Alice Cooper has some good ones: He's Back, Feed My Frankenstein...maybe Dead Babies, but that one's pretty calm to start with.

I don't know if you have heard "Half Japanese" but they had an album called "Bone Head" it had some great horror themed songs on it. "Zombie eye" and "He walks among us" are two of my faveorites, that album is ripe for picking a horror themed cover. get your hands on it.

Some Roky Erickson tunes would be killer.
Definitley mix it up with some of your own shit because a soly covers album is a little hollow.

You might find yourself inspired after learning some more covers. Can't wait to check it out seeing as I dug the other stuff you had up on Myspace.
