Thank you Halloween Jeff for starting this thread. You can tell by my screen name and avatar Im huge Black Sabbath and Ozzy fan lol. I remember when I first joined UMA I used to discuss the intersection of horror and rock music quite frequently. I grew up listening to heavy rock bands. Honestly these rock n roll monsters were my gateway to movie monsters. I started off mesmerized by my dad's Kiss, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, and Black Sabbath albums. So by the time I watched UM, Hammer, Vincent Price, and Toho films for the first time, those movies hit the same brain receptors.

Anyhow, Ozzy will always be my favorite rock n roll monster. Rest in Peace Prince of Darkness 🤘 ✝️
