Spencer Charnas (born November 14, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. He is best known as the lead singer of the horror metal band, Ice Nine Kills. Spencer started the band in 2000 with his middle school friend Jeremy Schwartz. They first called the band "Ice Nine."
The band name comes from a science fiction book. It is called Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. In the book, "Ice-nine" is a special type of water. It has the power to freeze the whole planet. The band later changed their name to Ice Nine Kills. This happened just before they released their first album in 2006. It was called Last Chance to Make Amends.
When they first started, Ice Nine Kills played pop-punk and ska music. Over time, their sound changed. It now includes influences from metal, horror movies, and musical theater.

Their most popular albums are Every Trick in the Book and The Silver Scream. Every Trick in the Book reached number 122 on the US Billboard 200 chart. This chart lists the most popular albums in the United States.
