"Weird Al" Yankovic will lend his singular vocal stylings to a new animated Batman movie, Batman vs. Robin — voicing one of the Dark Knight's foes, the Dollmaker, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Dollmaker debuted as a Batman villain in 2011 (he's the son of a cannibalistic serial killer) and his modus operandi is particularly grotesque: He stitches together the body parts of his victims to make dolls. In one particularly gruesome instance, the Dollmaker cut off the face of the Joker per that lunatic's request.

Edm/Heavy Bass producer and horror enthusiast Figure (aka Josh Gard) has taken a decidedly fresh tone with the release of his rock/punk filled mixtape “Tunes For Terror”. A perfect blend of such diverse punk standards as The Misfits’ “Braineaters” and Dead Kennedy’s “Halloween”, with rare rottun rockabilly masterpieces like Southern Culture On the Skids’ “Devil’s Stomping Grounds”, all bridged by classic horror trailers, Figure’s newest mixtape is the ultimate Halloween Party mix for fans of … Continue reading →

It's day seven of Weird Al Week (which has already brought us parodies of "Happy," "Blurred Lines," "Royals," and "Fancy"), and we have a song in the style of the more obscure Southern Culture on the Skids. Shot as a stop-motion pop-up book, Weird Al lays claim to all the ways "he" is marginally famous: He threw up in an elevator with Christian Slater; he shares the same birthday as Kim Kardashian (we looked it up: not true). The best line? "I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows guy who knows Kevin Bacon."...

When third-generation wrestler Windham Rotunda (son of Mike Rotunda, grandson of Blackjack Mulligan, and nephew to Barry and Kendall Windham) debuted in June 2010 as Husky Harris on Nxt, it was almost as if he was doomed to failure. Similar to Joe Hennig (song of Curt Hennig, grandson of Larry “The Ax” Hennig) being repackaged as Michael McGillicutty, denying the historic lineage of these competitors seemed ridiculous, as it denied them an obvious route to initially creating a connection with the WWE Universe. As “Husky Harris,” Rotunda’s run in WWE lasted just under six months, the brawler largely gaining a following among internet fans who found him to be surprisingly athletic for a man well weighing well over 300 pounds.
However, just over three years later, Windham Rotunda is Bray Wyatt, and as one of WWE’s most compelling characters developed in the past decade, may have the ability...

We're just getting started serving up some spooky Halloween jams for October, and next up is Mondo Zombie Boogaloo – a vintage-style collection featuring new spins on old standards and classic horror flicks, plus a few original surprises, all courtesy of three revered old-school rock legends. Assembled by Yep Roc Records, Mondo is a wild and energetic mashup of several musical eras: it taps into the '60s, when “monster kids” hit the beaches by day, watched The Munsters in prime-time and bopped the night away to “The Monster Mash,” then jumps to the late '70s for the kind of horror-infused punk and psychobilly made famous by the Misfits and The Cramps, and for good measure, stops off for a few loving homages to horror movie themes from the '70s and '80s. When it comes to vintage Halloween party rock, there's plenty to love in here, adding up to a rowdy,...

Too much pork for just one fork. That was the motto for the North Carolina neo-hillbilly trio Southern Culture on the Skids. It also should belong on a bumper sticker, attached to the back of Joe York's Ford Taurus station wagon. The filmmaker, based in Oxford, Mississippi, logged 40,000 miles of mostly rural backroad in the last year-and-a-half, chasing across a region that stretches from the shrimp-and-slide-guitar shores of East Texas to the white-picket-fenced pastures of Virginia. This weekend, York is in New York City, sharing some of what he’s documented at the Big Apple BBQ Party, an annual throwdown where the nation's top BBQ chefs convene to show 'cue-starved urbanites how it's really done.
It was only last month that York found himself in Mansure, Louisiana, deep in the heart of Cajun country. It was there he discovered that "you can pretty much stand anywhere on...

Hey, Dreadites, it's Volume 4 of Scare-riff-eyeing: Musical Abominations Horror Fans Should Be Killing For and Dying Over! Go into that cluttered Fred Flintstone-esque closet of yours, pull out those monster feet swim fins, and get 'em on. It's almost summer, and we're hitting the beach...
For the most part, if you are a horror music fan, your choices of genre are pretty varied, surprisingly. There are the obligatory death metal pioneers Cannibal Corpse in one corner, backed by literally a legion of other death metal bands, all competing to sing about the latest filmic gem of gory obscurity before one of their brethren. In another corner you have the psychobilly/horror punk thing with bands like The Nekromantix, the Misfits-worshiping Japanese quartet Balzac, and their own sizable army of like-minded bands, who all share an obligatory love for The Misfits and The Cramps. There are a plethora of faux-soundtrack bands like Anima Morte,...
