Hi all. I'm new here so forgive me if there's a better location for this thread.

I'd like to compile a collection of rock or metal covers of horror themes. I want to be clear that I'm after rock/metal covers or remixes. Not just any ol' cover or remix nor metal songs that have connections to horror films. So I'm not after songs that only use samples from horror flicks or songs that are inspired by horror movies. For example, Blue Holocaust's Twitch of the Death Nerve is entirely devoted to gialli. Every title is named after or inspired by a giallo film. But as far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong), they don't actually cover any of the music from any of these films. I'm just looking for hard and heavy covers of songs from horror movies. Below I've included a list of what I've found so far. You'll notice that some are by actual bands and some are just from youtube made by some random person and not an actual band. I don't care if it's an actual band performing them or not; as long as they sound good, that's all I care about. Please let me know if you have anything to contribute. Thanks!

I should also mention that I'm aware of "For Lucio Fulci: A Symphony of Fear" as well as the Fantômas album "The Director's Cut".

Here's what I've found:

If anyone can find a decent metal cover of The Munsters theme, I've been looking for years and its all pretty much the same. Something that maintains the surf guitar but puts some metal edge in there.
 
I just googled "Munsters theme metal" and there's all kinds of results. Lots on youtube and soundcloud. But you don't like any of those?

I still have the White Pigs EP on vinyl from back in the day. The Munsters Theme was the only cool thing on it, though.
 
Blood Farmers do an excellent cover of The Road Lead's to Nowhere from The Last House on the Left couldn't find any youtube links though.
 
Oh my God...I just discovered Rhapsody of Fire's cover of Goblin's Phenomena in their song "Queen of the Dark Horizons" from their Rain of a Thousand Flames album. I am absolutely blown away by that. That's my favorite Goblin song and I never would have thought I would find such a good cover of it. I'm not familiar with the band besides for their cover of Goblin's Non Ho Sonno. Does anyone know if they've covered anything else in their discography?
 
Yeah man didn't dig the ones I listened to, they were all just kinda boring metal. Nothing popped out as awesome. I might try again, and listen to those ones you posted, when I have a comp again.

Also I have a sweet soundtracks thread floating around here if you're interested. I'm all about that shit.
