Release date: April 13, 2005
This is the kind of stuff that will give you nightmares. Not the kind of nightmares that simply wake you up, but the nightmares that make you wake up in a cold sweat, wondering if you're alone in the room.
North Carolina native Wednesday 13, best known as the frontman for the Murderdolls, joined forces with Slipknot's Joey Jordison to form the Murderdolls.
The title song of the album is suprisingly mellow. Most of the album hits you in the side of the head with a proverbial sledgehammer of heavy riffs and growing/screaming Marilyn Manson-esque lyrics.
It's the kind of music you'd expect in just about any horror movie - think Rob Zombie.
Graveyards, death, halloween, zombies, cemeteries, blood - it's all here.
So what do I think? It's difficult to say. The music is catchy and so are some of the choruses. It's got the feel of early Marilyn Manson stuff, but with a B-movie vibe to it.
But there's only so much gothic lyrics and talk of ghouls and the dead that I can take. It almost becomes cheesy at times.
The music's there. The harsh-toned vocals are there. My only complaint is the lyrics themselves.
I'd give it 3 outta 5 - I can only listen to about a third of it before I need a break from the words. If the lyrics weren't so topic-monotone, I'd give it closer to a 5 outta 5.

I think the cd is a great cd, he sings the way he does because thats the way he thinks the fans want it and that is the way we like his voice. Yes the lyrics are heavy and about goth things but again thats what us the fans of Wednesday 13 enjoy and like to hear, the cd was deffinently worth my money i also listen to it everyday keep up the good work Wednesday, but please dont be like the MDolls and only make one album i think the Murderdolls were good enough to produce a couple of albums
