Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau is the sixth LP by Die Toten Hosen, released in 1988. This is considered by the band as the best DTH album as of 1988. The LP is mainly a concept album based on the film A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick, which in turn is based on the book of the same name by Anthony Burgess, although not all of the songs are about the main theme. The idea of the LP has its origin during a performance of A Clockwork Orange at Theater Bonn where the band acted as supernumeraries and as supporting band. Songs 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12 are from the play and these are the ones recorded in Schauspielhaus Bonn, other songs were recorded in Berlin and Cologne. The songs are linked together by snippets of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, whose music plays a prominent role in A Clockwork Orange. The cover features a famous painting of Beethoven by Joseph Karl Stieler. The word 'Horrorschau' is a play on the Nadsat word 'horrorshow', which comes from the Russian хорошо and means 'good' or 'well'. A couple of Nadsat words are used in songs too. The song "Hier kommt Alex" appears as a bonus track in the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
