Shattered and Blue
Chainsaw Sally sends a guy to the Afterlife® and guess what? He finds it preferable to the during-life.
I don't know anything about horror movies but former Next Window drummer JimmyO does: he makes them. Chainsaw Sally is a character created by April Monique Burril and JimmyO. Shattered and Blue is a song by The Misbelieves.

Perfect Sun
It reflects off a boy on the verge of forgetting he has the whole world by the tail. He can still name his monsters in roughly the order that they were first met and defeated. When a man selling Jesus spits hate at his brother, he knows one of these things is not like the other. He's cracked the strong magic that got him this far. He knows love was all that he needed.

The Misbelieves record classic theme song
As anybody within spitting distance of a telegraph or carrier pigeon knows, Bonnington Truce is on the move after decades dormant. The Misbelieves have honored the occasion by recording a loving recreation of the theme song to Bonnington Truce's long-lost and lamented Saturday morning TV show, "Come On Now Kids Yeah It's Bonnington Truce!"

Archeology: The first voice in the song is Earl Lundy's, wondering why nobody was dancing during Next Window's set at the Avanti Theatre in Hattiesburg, March 5th, 1982. The sampled "Yeah"s throughout the song are Earl, Patrick Wallace, and Ben Young during Chariot Choogle later the same night.
Accuracy: Jeff is, in fact, the leader of the band.
This is for Adam Ford and all of our kids.
