Our Halloween quest to determine the spookiest song in rock history has moved onto its second week.<\/p>\n
After our ghoulish round one battles, we’re down to the “Evil Eight,” and only the most fiendish four can move on to the next round.<\/p>\n
You can vote once an hour in the four brackets posted below.<\/p>\n
Round two voting ends on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 11:59PM EST, with the third round launching the next morning. The spookiest rock song of all time will be crowned on Halloween.<\/p>\n
Alice Cooper’s ‘Black Widow’ vs. Iron Maiden’s ‘The Number of the Beast’<\/p>\n
Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast” beat out another devilish song, the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” in week one by a margin of 54% to 46%. The British heavy metal legends now go up against the king of shock rock himself, Alice Cooper, whose “Black Widow” vanquished the Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” 57% to 43%.<\/p>\n

In addition to surviving a fender-bender this week, Gene Simmons and his Kiss bandmates managed to defeat Pink Floyd’s “One of These Days” with their own “God of Thunder,” emerging with a 53% to 47% victory. They’ll now go up against the mighty Metallica and “Enter Sandman,” which put an end to the Doors’ “The End,” 55% to 45%.<\/p>\n
AC\/DC’s ‘Night Prowler” vs. Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon”<\/p>\n
In the second biggest victory of round one, AC\/DC’s “Night Prowler” blew the Who’s “Boris the Spider” out 72% to 28%. The bad news? They have a much tougher opponent this week in Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon,” which was the biggest winner, besting Led Zeppelin’s “Gallows Pole” 73% to 27%.<\/p>\n
Motley Crue’s “Shout at the Devil” vs. Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath”<\/p>\n
After ousting Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” (58% to 42%), Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath” lines up against Motley Crue’s “Shout at the Devil,” which beat Eagles’ “Witchy Woman” 65% to 35%. It’s possible we could see a Sabbath vs. Ozzy battle in round three!<\/p>\n
