What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse is a demo album by the American death metal band The Black Dahlia Murder, released independently in May 2001. It is the band's only record to feature Sean Gauvreau on bass. The demo has been associated with metalcore, a style the band would later abandon. Its title is derived from the NES game Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, where it appears in a text box during the in-game transition from day to night. An eponymous song was later recorded for the band's 2007 album Nocturnal. The song "Burning the Hive" was re-recorded for the band's 2002 EP, A Cold-Blooded Epitaph.
