Horror Classic Halloween Prepared Corey Taylor For Slipknot


. (TeamRock Radio) Corey Taylor has recalled how the trailer for horror film Halloween "psychologically prepared" him for being in Slipknot. The frontman saw the trailer for the movie when he was about five-years-old and says the imagery has stayed with him ever since.

Taylor tells Life And Times: "The thing I loved about it was that it didn't need a lot. There was a natural tension there that kind of lent itself to this creepiness because it was a different type of movie.

"At that age I hadn't really been exposed to anything like that. So I remember just being like, 'Who is that dude in the white mask?' I think maybe psychologically, that prepared me for being in Slipknot.

"You can have the craziest monster on the planet with all kinds of gore and fluids flying out of its face, and it's not merely as striking or as frightening as Michael Myers just standing there quietly staring at you. I have just goose bumps thinking about it. It's such a powerful evocative vibe that I think people have been chasing that tail ever since." Read more here.
