Bands That Nailed Their Creepy, Horror Themed Names

Welcome to October.

The spooky month.

At times like these, we hear more and more Halloween-themed songs on the radio.

But hold on, what about bands that are, themselves, horror or ghostly-themed?

Let's look at Billboard Magazine for the answer.

The first one that came to my mind was the group Of Monsters & Men.

Here is a long list of horror-themed band names that I found on Billboard.

Many of these bands do have spooky or horror-themed songs.

With some of them, it's just their band name.

If you're looking at these band names and thinking that most of these groups are not around anymore, you would be correct.

Such is the music industry.

It's hard to get attention, even when the music is good.

Just as hard as it is coming up with a cool name for a band that people will actually remember, and like.
