NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio today added 13 spooky albums to
their library.
For fans of classic and contemporary soundtracks, you can look
forward to these offerings:
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte Soundtrack by Frank DeVol- including
covers of the popular theme song by Patti Page, Al Martino, Jimmy
Joyce and two different versions by Bette Davis! The lush and
atmospheric score to the Gothic thriller is one of DeVol's Best.
Theatre of Blood Soundtrack by Michael J. Lewis. The string-driven
atmospheric soundtrack for this Vincent Price opus reminds us what
great horror soundtracks were like before the dominance of
synthesizers.
Pit and the Pendulum Soundtrack by Les Baxter. They don't get any
more classic than this jazzy yet moody score to Corman's Poe
adaptation.
Scream and Scream Again, by David Whitaker. An odd little film that
featured Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee- but never
in a scene together! The equally quirky score features classic
atmosphere and modern jazzy tempos.
Plan 9 From Outer Space Soundtrack- comprised entirely of stock
library cues, this score is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Ed
Wood fans.
Magic Sountrack by the prolific Jerry Goldsmith. A typically fine
soundtrack by Goldsmith for this gem of a movie starring Anthony
Hopkins.
On a more contemporary note, we have John Beal's sountrack for Tobe
Hooper's Funhouse. Suspenseful, somber, expectant, it conjures many
moods.
Richard Bellis' score to Stephen King's IT is a fine example of
modern horror soundtracks combining orchestra and electronics to
great effects.
The soundtrack for the sci-fi comedy Earth Girls are Easy combines
80s acts such as Depeche Mode, Hall & Oats and The B-52S with comedy
songstress Julie Brown's original numbers such as I like Em Big &
Stupid, Cuz I'm a Blonde and the title tune, which was her
inspiration to pen the script.
For a thouroughly modern score, we have Tangerine Dream's electronic
brilliance for Near Dark, a modern vampire tale that never once uses
the word vampire...
Horror Movie Madness by keyboardist Matt Fink provides us with horror
film themes both familiar such as Halloween and The Exorcist and
several themes not quite as common, such as Leprechaun, Re-Animator,
Jacob's Ladder and Child's Play.
For non-soundtrack music we've added another Matt Fink offering-
Music of the Vampires- which features original keyboard compositions
based on vampire imagery.
Our final addition today was Calgary based Forbidden Dimension's Sin
Gallery. Surf garage punk trash with a heaping helping of horror on
tunes such as Atomic Cannibal, Martian Death Saucer and Haunted.
Rocking horror goodness!
You can hear them all on the internet's Halloween radio station with
the greatest variety of them all! Seriously- I don't think you'll
hear all these offerings anywhere else but NeverEndingWonder
Halloween Radio. Tune in here:
