I don't understand all the sub-par low reviews for this album. What more could you ask for? Concept album about classic horror icons and monsters, catchy riffs, awesome diverse vocals and killer album art to go along with the whole theme. Someone said they have yet to find a "masterpiece" from Iced Earth. Hello? What rock have you been living under??? Dark Saga? Burnt Offerings? Night of the Stormrider? Something Wicked? I mean the list goes on. I can literally put on all the mentioned albums above and play them from start to finish. Horror Show is no exception. This album is yet another masterpiece to add to the collection. The mood and tempo of each song beautifully captures the icon or monster depicted. Makes me want to watch the old classic monster movies while playing this record in the background. This is one of those albums that can be bought simply on album cover art alone and you won't be wrong for doing so. Love at first listen!!!
