Year: 2001 Label: Century Media. Drawing from legend, literature, film, and perhaps even real life, individual songs of Horror Show tell the stories of nightmarish creatures like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy, all seen through the darkened vision of Iced Earth. Also featured are the Wolfman, the Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll and Hyde, Jack the Ripper, Damien (The Omen) and the Creature from the Black Lagoon
Horror Show is Iced Earth's best album. Every track is unique and sounds great.

Iced Earth's Horror Show, a huge thematic tribute to both Hollywood and history's most infamous monsters, a few of which you won't be surprised to discover are indeed human beings. A concept album, which aesthetically, I feel must be one of the most abject failures of its kind, even if the effort and budget that were lovingly placed into its conception are a little difficult to shun. Iced Earth follow up the somewhat inconsistent Something Wicked This Way Comes with a nice album for fans of power metal and theme based albums with a cool album in Horror Show. The meaning of the title album and what is contained on this album is fairly self-explanatory - this is a concept/theme-based album that is based around characters of classic horror movies and other such folklore. Overall, this is a fairly complete release, and fans of bands like Iron Maiden and Nevermore should be pleased with this release.
