"Shock Horror" is the second single released by Scottish band The View, from their second album Which Bitch?. The B-side on the CD release is My Mother. The song was available in MP3 format from 5 December 2008, when the 7" was pre-ordered from the band's official website.[1][2][3]

The video for the song was released in December 2008. The song received better airplay than the previous single "5Rebbeccas" did, but it performed even worse than its predecessor, charting only at #64 in the UK Singles Chart before dropping to #94 in its second week.[4]
