Music and film seem to go hand in hand these days with so many musicians crossing over into the world of acting (and vice versa). Some of Classic Rock’s iconic singers haven’t been immune from venturing onto the silver screen, especially in horror movies. Just in time for Halloween, we look at some of our favorite Classic Rock icons and the horror movies they’ve appeared in.

Tony Basil Before her single, “Mickey”, became a hit, Tony Basil had already appeared in several movies including “Easy Rider”, “Five Easy Pieces” and the Monkees’ “Head”. She later ventured into the realm of horror, starring in 1988’s “Slaughterhouse Rock” and 1990’s “Rockula”.

Jon Bon Jovi Although he’s spent most of his career as the front man for his band, Bon Jovi, Jon has appeared in a few roles including the horror films “Cry Wolf” and the “Vampires” sequel, “Vampires – Los Muertos”.

Sonny Bono He may have made his career by being part of the duo, Sonny and Cher, but Sonny Bono also ventured into film. Appearing mostly on a variety of TV series, Sonny also showed up in several movies, including a turn as Peter Dickinson in the movie “Trolls”.

David Bowie Some people might only remember Bowie’s appearances as Jareth in “Labyrinth”, Tesla in “The Prestige” or as himself in a comedic cameo spot in “Zoolander”. However, he also ventured into horror in 1983’s vampire flick, “The Hunger”, playing the character, John.

Alice Cooper Although he’s ventured onto the big (and small) screen since the 1970s, Alice Cooper is just as well known for his comedic roles (“Wayne’s World”, anyone?) as well as appearing in a couple of horror flicks. Some of his best-known horror film roles include the rock star Vince Raven in 1984’s “Monster Dog”, Street Schizo in John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness” and a turn as Freddy Kreuger’s father in “Freddy’s Dead – The Final Nightmare”. He would also play himself in 2012’s version of “Dark Shadows”.

Debbie Harry The lead singer for Blondie, has also appeared in a number of movies over the years, including the horror flicks “Videodrome” and “Tales from the Darkside – The Movie”.
