Here’s the banned horror movie Ice Nine Kills want you to watch

You know Spencer Charnas as the charismatic frontman of metalcore horror kings Ice Nine Kills. You may have guessed by now that he loves horror movies. When it comes to all things slasher, splatter, guts and gore, Charnas has seen it. In this APTV exclusive, the singer reveals his list of 10 must-see horror flicks that are essential viewing during quarantine.

Charnas has been obsessed with the genre for a very long time. Fans know that Ice Nine Kills’ 2018 album The Silver Scream is fueled by his love of horror movies. The selections he offers in this APTV video span across decades. Media companies have a saying: “If it bleeds, it leads.” That’s a reference to people’s fascination with front-page headlines involving violence and murder. For Charnas, that phrase probably determines what movie selections are on the tour bus, post-gig.
