The Green Inferno

Here's the incredible Popol Vuh score for Werner Herzog's remake of Murnau's classic Nosferatu, professional lunatic and occasional actor Klaus Kinski portrays the bald Count and spends a lot a time bemoaning the lonliness of his existence in this atmospheric, visually stunning but overlong film. Herzog had problems shooting certain scenes in the Dutch town of Delft as the authorities refused to allow him to unleash 11,000 rats into the streets, can't say I'm surprised.

Listen. The children of the night make their music

It's Hammer time again! 1968 saw Hammer studios adapt Dennis Wheatley's novel The Devil Rides Out with Christopher Lee and Charles Gray as opposing forces and the combined talents of director Terence Fisher and writer Richard Matheson behind the camera. A hell for leather pace a surreal appearance by the devil himself

and the undoubtable talents of it's leads help iron out some of the more questionable moments (the not so special effects for one) and of course there is an amazing score by James Bernard
Over the years Wheatley seems to have become something of a forgotten figure in horror fiction, despite his works being among the best sellers in the 1960's, it's a shame, as there are far less deserving writers who recieve the credit Wheatley does not. Christopher Lee has often stated that he would love to see someone remake The Devil Rides Out, i'm no fan of remakes but i think i would gladly pay to see someone take a crack at this one.

With this knife, do I draw out the blood, which is thy life.

Back in the early days of the Green Inferno I posted a mini-score to Jef Richards painfully unscary slasher Berseker: The Nordic Curse, with a little spare time on my hands and much to the cry of "Why?" I now offer an additional seven short tracks of music from this glorious movie.
Like drug abuse and Steve Guttenberg I know this movie is bad for me but I just can't hate a film that has George "Buck" Flower pretending to be Norweigan.

1. Main Title
2. King H

4. The Legend
5. Bathroom Trip
6. Playing Games
7. Love and Death in the Woods

Just Close Your Eyes and Pray to Die

Don't even know if anyone still frequents this barren corner of the net, but The Great Congo is back!! Hope you have all been well behaved in my absence? I believe I have still got a few soundtracks lying around to share with you. Until i manage to get to sort out just what the hell I am going to do with the blog, if there are any of the old scores anyone wants re-upping just drop me a line. It's damn good to be back!

As promised, here is the second score from The Keep. This apparently is the Blue Moon edition containing music by Tangerine Dream that wasn't on the other releases. I can't remember where I got hold of this score as it is not one I actually own, so random credit to whoever it was that uploaded it in the first place.
