Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Our Favorite Rockstar Horror Cameos

It's always interesting to see which celebrity cultures are obsessed with the horror genre, but the most obvious socialites who partake in horror goodness are musicians. Now the type of musician always differs, because I've seen numerous episodes of Cribs where some hip-hop mogul has a Chucky doll or Leatherface statuette in his house, but the most obvious group of musicians to praise horror are the more hard-rocking metalheads. Hell, looking at the current genre, the band Chiodos has a song titled "Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together" which is about killing the undead with your friends essentially.

Nato: Henry Rollins – Feast

Recommended Videos

Sure, Henry Rollins was in Wrong Turn 2 and Suck as well, but since Feast is a personal favorite of mine, I’m going to pick his self-help coach character from John Gulager’s only hit film as my favorite Henry Rollins role as well.

The badass former lead singer of Black Flag shows up in Feast as a shady nice guy who wants to help people better themselves, but turns out to be a scumbag when he drops his wedding ring while hitting on Jenny Wade’s character Honey Pie. He tries numerous times to concoct a plan, but fails miserably. Oh yeah, he loses his pants and has to wear pink sweats a majority of the film as well. From on-stage activist to emasculated moron, oh Henry Rollins.

His death is even better though, as he tries to escape the bar and pull around one of the cars. Everyone inside hears some shuffling outside, and after peering out the barricaded door, we see the monsters using Rollins as a human battering ram, slamming his head repeatedly against the door.

 Nato: Chris Martin – Shaun Of The Dead

Yes, the singer from Coldplay is in Shaun of the Dead. Where might you ask? Well it isn’t obvious, and he doesn’t stand out, but there are two instances where you can see Martin appear in Edgar Wright’s zombie masterpiece.

The first occurance comes when Shaun and Liz emerge from The Winchester, there’s a zombie moving from right to left in front of a phone both. There’s your Chris Martin sighting number one! Yup, the rocker goes undead right before being gunned down by British special forces as they save the day.

His second appearance comes in the form of a Zomb-Aid promoter during that final television montage of all the reactions to the zombie outbreak. I personally didn’t know the first few times I watched the film, then my eyes were finally opened by a friend who pointed this out. Kudos Chris Martin, I might not be a Coldplay fan, but you’re OK in my book if you can sneak in a movie like Shaun of The Dead!

Have we missed your favorite musician popping up in a horror film? Have you noticed the ones that Remy and I mentioned? Let us know in the comments!
