"Horror Movie" was the second single from the Skyhooks album Living in the 70's and was their first number-one single in Australia, staying there for two weeks in March 1975. The single was greatly helped along by the band's appearance on the then-new ABC pop music TV show Countdown. Along with "Women in Uniform", "Horror Movie" is widely recognised as one of the Skyhooks' signature tracks. The song itself, written by bass guitarist, Greg Macainsh, is about how the world has taken a turn for the worse with all of the chaos in society, to the point where watching the nightly TV news is like watching a horror movie. This song remains popular as a Halloween song in both the United States and Canada. It appears on the compilation album Elvira Presents Haunted Hits. In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "Horror Movie" was ranked number 47.more »
