68 Horror Movies Featuring Rock Stars (Ultimate Classic Rock)
- Page 2
"With their propensity to simultaneously shock and entertain, rock music and horror movies go together perfectly. Chronicling the credits of rock, metal, pop and punk musicians in horror flicks over the years is a daunting task, and they range from starring roles to cameos to being the band in a scene where something bad is about to go down. Ozzy Osbourne is the only member of Black Sabbath to have appeared in a horror film, but the band's name was inspired by Italian gore-master Mario Bava and his 1963 film of the same name. Not long after this monumental marriage of horror and heavy metal, a distinct pattern would start to arise within the horror genre, beginning in 1972 with Kenneth Anger's cinematic nuclear bomb, 'Lucifer Rising.' Our list of 68 Horror Films Featuring Rock Stars starts chronologically with Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon of the Who, Ringo Starr, John Bonham, Peter Frampton and Leon Russell, all of whom appeared in 1974's 'Son of Dracula.'" - ultimateclassicrock.com
