Evanescence's Amy Lee loves her some Halloween, which, if you ask us, is pretty convenient given she has a voice that could wake the dead. To that end, Lee, who just lent her pipes to a version of 'Sally's Song' on the 'Nightmare Revisted' soundtrack, and who is currently in the throes of writing new songs of her own, sat down with Spinner to reveal her Top Five favorite horror films just in time for the holiday. 1. 'Nightmare Before Christmas': I have to watch this movie at Halloween, and the fact that I get to be a part of it [on the 'Nightmare Revisited' soundtrack], as an uber-fan, is great. I watch this movie with my family every year. When this movie came out it, inspired me creatively. I was a big art nerd. 2. ' |

EVANSCENCE singer Amy Lee, who is busy writing new material, recently talked with SPIN.com about the group's messy split with guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray, writing a solo album, scoring films, and "Sally's Song", her contribution to "Nightmare Revisited", the new collection of covers from Tim Burton's 1993 film, "The Nightmare Before Christmas". A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On the split with LeCompt and Gray: "It's a difficult situation, as is every dramatic situation our band has gone through. John [LeCompt, guitar], Rocky [Gray, drums] — we outgrew each other.

Judging by the dramatic music and videos for rock band Evanescence, you would think singer Amy Lee is this ethereal, gothic presence, gliding across the planet and alternating between ennui and angst. But nothing could be farther from the truth, she said. And on the phone she sounds almost, dare I say it, chipper. “I’m just like anybody else,” she said. “I have my ups and downs.” Whereas her music is full of pain and longing, Lee comes across as energetic and intelligent with a good sense of humor. “The music is like therapy to me,” she said. “I get it all out in my songs.” Lee returned to work last week after Evanescence took a month off from touring in support of its second album “The Open Door.” “We’ve been practicing |

By phone, the frontwoman for hard-rock band Evanescence is friendly, informal, chatty even — |
