Recently I discovered two very awesome things about Boston, MA-based metalcore unit Ice Nine Kills: first, they're all big-time horror movie fans; and second, their obsession with fearsome flicks manifests itself in a big way while the band is traveling between live gigs – and I'm not just talking about horror DVD marathons on the bus, either.

While on the road, the band decided to seek out and document some of their favorite horror movie locations and hang out with the creators and stars of those films, preserving those memories in photographs for a horror-themed travel journal. The band graciously offered to share several of those photos with us, which you can only see right here.
So that's enough setup... let's witness some high points in horror history, recorded for posterity by Spencer, Justin and Conor of Ice Nine Kills!
