Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Idle Hands Soundtrack

This teen horror-comedy soundtrack is certainly possessed by a devilish streak.

This skate-punky soundtrack for a new teen horror-comedy about a stoner with a satanic right hand is definitely possessed by a devilish streak and a wicked sense of humour.

First The Offspring weigh in with their classic Beheaded (“Mommy doesn’t have a head anymore”). Then there’s The VandalsMy Girlfriend’s Dead (“A great big truck ran her over”). And what would a teen horror soundtrack be without Rob Zombie’s Dragula (Hot Rod Herman Remix)? But you can’t top the unholy king of satanic singles: Mötley Crüe’s Shout At The Devil. Hail Satan.
