What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse is a demo album by the American metal band The Black Dahlia Murder, released independently in May 2001. It is the band's only record to feature Sean Gauvreau on bass. Although The Black Dahlia Murder are considered a melodic death metal band, the style of the demo has also been described as metalcore.[1] Vocalist Trevor Strnad said in a interview that much of the material on the demo is a blatant "rip-off" of the metalcore band Prayer for Cleansing.

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.
