10 Songs You Probably Didn't Know Were Inspired By Horror Movies

Though it's now been over two decades since their formation, many will still be unaware of who Fozzy are. For those still not in the know, Fozzy is a hard rock band formed by Chris Jericho, the last WCW World Heavyweight Champion (crowned a mere year after the all-time WCW champion David Arquette won the title), with a handful of other musicians.

Since their inception, the band have released seven whole studio albums and collaborated with some of rock and metal's biggest stars, including M Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold) on 2012's Sin and Bones.

With an over-the-top style typical of Jericho's many outputs, the album's second track Sandpaper talks of wounds, flesh, monsters, bones and visions - in short, the basic horror toolkit of every metal songwriter to don black leather trousers and a pair of shades.

However, Sandpaper is not quite your typical 80-grit blend. As reflected by the music video, the song was inspired by Sam Raimi's 1981 cult classic, The Evil Dead, where a group of five friends abscond to a cabin in the woods, leaf through The Book Of The Dead and raise a demonic entity - though fortunately not Chris Jericho.
