''Horror Show'' is an album by the American Heavy Metal band Iced Earth , released June 26 2001 . It is a Concept Album based on classic monsters and horror-movie icons, including Dracula , Frankenstein , and the ghost from Phantom Of The Opera . It was the first Iced Earth album to feature drummer Richard Christy , and the only album to feature Steve DiGiorgio on bass, though he didn't tour with the band.

There was a special, limited-edition 2CD set. The second CD featured the instrumental track "Transylvania" (an Iron Maiden cover) along with an interview with bandleader Jon Schaffer . There is also a single-disc version with "Transylvania", but without the interview.

MISCELLANEA

• "Dracula" includes the line "the blood is the life," a quote from Deuteronomy 12:23. However, it is likely lifted from the 1992 version of Dracula which also features the line.

• Horror show is a term used in A Clockwork Orange , meaning good, well.

• Many of the lyrics are lifted straight from the movies they were inspired by.
