Screaming fans to screaming murder: music stars in horror

Charlie Simpson has come a long way since his days in Busted and he is now set to add actor to a CV that already has numerous musical excursions on it.

The singer/ songwriter is set to star in In God We Trust, an independent film made by his former Fighstar pals Dan Haigh and Alex Westaway. The movie sees Charlie Simpson play a covert operations interrogator in an ambitious project that was created for the small sum of £1,200. While the film was created with costs amounting to less than that of a second hand car, the trailer is an excellent example of content made by a new wave of filmmakers who are reaching Hollywood-level production values, usually reserved for projects with multi-million dollar budgets.

You can see the trailer for In God We Trust below.

With that in mind, we decided to look up nine more music stars who have embraced their dark sides and acted in horror movies throughout the ages. Take a look through the trailers below to see your favourite stars scaring us silly on the big screen.
