Slipknot and Stone Sour (opens in new tab) frontman Corey Taylor has curated a special playlist just for Halloween.

The two-hour spooktacular features 26 tracks, including Freddy Kreuger by S.O.D., The Evil That Men Do by Iron Maiden (opens in new tab), Marilyn Manson (opens in new tab)’s Man That You Fear, White Zombie (opens in new tab)’s Electric Head Part 1 (The Agony), Hell Awaits by Slayer (opens in new tab), Alice Cooper (opens in new tab)’s Cold Ethyl and a couple of suitably scary Slipknot songs.

Slipknot say: “Happy Halloween. Kick off the rituals with our Halloween Playlist, curated by Corey Taylor.”

Check out the playlist below.

In addition, Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has checked in with a couple of video updates to show fans how work on Slipknot’s video for Nero Forte (opens in new tab) is progressing.

He says: “It’s a little awkward showing you anything because obviously I can’t give it away, but I think it’s fun showing you bits and pieces and letting you guys put it together the way you do.”

Slipknot will head back on the road across South America in November and December, before returning to the UK and Europe in early 2020.
