Shock Me is an EP by the band Red House Painters. It was released in the UK only on February 28, 1994 on CD and 12" vinyl. The EP features two versions of the song "Shock Me," a KISS cover. The EP went out of print shortly after its initial release. The tracks later surfaced on the reissued edition of Red House Painters, released in 1999.

The "untitled instrumental" hidden track is actually an instrumental version of "A Million + 8 Things," a song from the early Red House Painters demos (dated 1991-1992).

All songs written by Mark Kozelek; except "Shock Me," written by Ace Frehley.
