Only four of rock’s spookiest album covers remain after three rounds of our annual Halloween bracket – and three of them come from the Black Sabbath family tree.

The heavy metal pioneers’ self-titled 1970 debut album – the one featuring the mysterious witch-like woman on the cover – is one step away from the finals. So are albums from two of the band’s singers: Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon and Dio’s Holy Diver.

It’s possible we could have an all-Sabbath alumni finals, but the mighty Iron Maiden and their Killers album will have a lot to say about that.

The power is all in your hands. You can vote once an hour in the two remaining battles from now until 11:59PM EST on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The winners will move on to the finals, which begin the following morning.
