When Machine Gun Kelly + Tommy Lee Had a Horror Podcast Together

Last year’s musical horror podcast series starring Machine Gun Kelly and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, Halloween in Hell, has been nominated for a Webby Award for best podcast in the limited series and specials category at the 26th annual Webbys, the voter-driven internet excellence awards.

Fan voting is open now until April 21.

Halloween in Hell, which aired in four parts (plus a bonus behind-the-scenes episode) in October 2021, followed the Kelly-featuring “Climb,” a single tied to the series issued the previous fall. The song also includes Lee plus their Halloween in Hell co-star 24kGoldn, a rapper and singer.

The scripted series is set during Halloween, “where 24kGoldn and metal mistress Dana Dentata find themselves trapped on a soundstage reminiscent of hell, with a sadistic host who has lured them into a competition,” per a synopsis. The main cast all play fictional versions of themselves,

MGK, the rapper-turned-rocker and frequent actor whose real name Colson Baker, previously worked with Lee when he portrayed the drummer in 2019’s Crue biopic The Dirt.

Kelly’s new album Mainstream Sellout arrived last month, backed by singles such as “Papercuts,” “Emo Girl” (with Willow), “Ay!” (with Lil Wayne) and “Maybe” (with Bring Me the Horizon). He’ll tour North America this summer. Last month, MGK told pop-punk bands that he earned his success in the genre.

This June, Motley Crue plan to mount their twice-postponed Stadium Tour. Last November, Crue singer Vince Neil returned to performing after falling and breaking his ribs in an onstage accident. Motley Crue reportedly sold the rights to their song catalog for $150 million last year.

Below, hear the first episode of Halloween in Hell, followed by the lyric video for “Climb.” Halloween in Hell was produced by Audio Up Media, makers of podcasts like Prom in Hell and Where the Bodies Are Buried.

‘Halloween in Hell’ is a first-of-its-kind, four-part scripted music/horror mini-series is set in a fictitious satanic reality show, starring multi-platinum Interscope Records recording artist, actor and Billboard chart topper, Machine Gun Kelly, rock legend Tommy Lee, acclaimed musician and performance artist Dana Dentata, multi-platinum 10K Projects recording artist iann dior, multi-platinum RECORDS/Columbia Records’ recording artist 24kGoldn, and musician/writer PHEM. Taking homage from music horror hits like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the dark comedy of The Nightmare Before Christmas, HALLOWEEN IN HELL is set during Halloween, where 24kGoldn and metal mistress Dana Dentata find themselves trapped on a soundstage reminiscent of Hell, with a sadistic host who has lured them into a competition. It is there they must impress a jury of the damned (R. Kelly & Phil Spector) and rescue themselves from the clutches of evil. With each of the main cast playing fictional versions of themselves, these acclaimed musical cross-genre performers beckon listeners to follow them on a journey to hell and back.
