This is one of my favorite times of the year. Even as I write this, I've got Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare" album on the turntable. I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my top 3 horror movie characters.

First, I'll give you my friend, Rob Zombie guitarist John 5's picks. This guy lives and breathes Halloween. He actually gave my six....three from the past and three modern-era picks.

*Creature from the Black Lagoon - He told me that's how he named his solo band, The Creatures.

*Frankenstein - Classic!

*The Wolfman

More modern-era picks are....

*Jack Nickelson's character in The Shinning

*Leatherface

*Micheal Myers

Solid picks, for sure. I think I'm going to steal one of my picks from his boss....

*Captain Spaulding.....just plain creepy. I love the Rob Zombie trilogy.

*Leatherface....I just watched this the other night. No explanation needed.

*Candyman....I'm not sure if I've watched this movie since I saw it in the early 90's. Really creepy!

That's my list....who is on yours?
