British Horror, Soundtrack, Blood On Satan's Claw, Marc Wilkinson

Here's the score to Piers Haggard's mighty Blood on Satan's Claw, released by Tony Tenser's Tigon, BOSC is a nasty affair about devil worship amongst the children of a secluded English village, wonderfully atmospheric with a surprising amount of nudity and grisly goings on.

The excellent score by Marc Wilkinson takes it's inspiration from something called The Devil's Interval and utilises instruments as diverse as the cimbalom and the Ondes Martenot. It's quite possibly one of the greatest scores written for a British horror film.

Track Listing
01 Fiend discovered and titles
02 Peter & Rosalind in attic
03 Rosalind's madness
04 Angel's Claw
05 Claw in classroom
06 Judge by fireside
07 Peter fights devil, severs hand
08 Judge drives off
09 Mark alone
10 Death of Mark
11 Angel naked
12 Angel's first curse
13 Angel's second curse
14 Return from the graveyard
15 Return from the graveyard
16 Kathy crowned
17 Children into church
18 Kathy's ceremony
19 Kathy's rape and death
20 Peter's ride
21 Ralph chops tree
22 Ralph saves Margaret
23 Margaret escapes
24 Ralph's wound
25 Ralph bewitched
26 Finale and credits

There is growing amongst you all an insolent ungodliness, which I will not tolerate!

I want these people to know the meaning of horror... horror... is that clear?

Soundtrack, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation

TCM 4. Where to start?..... , well depending on your mood, it's either one of the worst films EVER made (yes, worse than The Gingerdead Man) or a film whose catalogue of inadequacies make it more entertaining than Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

We all know he's in it.

..and her aswell.
But they are not totally to blame for the disaster that is TCM4, Leatherface is now apparently a Drag Artist who has shacked up with the rejects from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, there is a conspiracy plot about horror and maybe aliens, but, like the other parts of the film it goes nowhere, a hitherto unmentioned Biplane features in the painfully odd ending, the kids are awful, it would be a pleasure to see these morons hacked up by Leather, but in what must surely be a case for Trade Descriptions, the chainsaw isn't used at all.
But none of this could stop this idiot looking for a soundtrack, and since no official one was released (no, I know, I was shocked too!) I started looking around to see what I could find, it may be a little rough around the edges and missing a few songs but in the words of Matthew "Vilmer" McConaughey "What are you gonna do? Shoot me?"

Track Listing

1. Opening narration/ Main Titles
2. Torn & Tied - Pariah
3. I Got It Made - Skatenigs
4. Mumbo Jumbo - Tail Gators
5. Love To Turn You On - Pariah
6. Careless Soul - Daniel Johnston
7. Mother - Pushmonkey
8. Don't Tell Your Mama, Don't Tell Your Papa - Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers
9. Der Einziger Weg - Deborah harry & Robert Jacks
10. Two Headed Dog (red temple prayer) - Roky Erikson
11. Vilmer's Battle cry - Film Dialogue
12. Blue Moon At Dawn
13. What the Hell's Going On? - Film Dialogue
14. Wolf In the Night - Erik & Erik

Well, first, I'm gonna kill you. It ain't no fuckin biggie

Flying Fish, Stelvio Cipriani, Soundtrack, James Cameron

With every Man, Woman and Na'vi apparently watching Avatar it sems a fine time to post Stelvio Cipriani's score for Piranhna 2: The Spawning.

Assonitis!) but he certainly directed some of it and it does star his friend and artificial person Lance Henriksen.

2. Profondo Sinfonico (Main Titles) (03:35)
3. Theme From Piranha II (Single Version) (02:33)

Finally Back to Business

Soundtrack, John Carpenter, Sentinel Returns

Sorry it's been a few weeks since my last post, took a little longer than usual to get over the christmas/ new year festivities. Another dose of something a little different today.

The Sentinel Returns was a videogame made for the playstation and PC back in 1998, the music was composed by one John Carpenter. This seven track album was given away originally in a French videogame magazine, it's typically Carpenteresque with lot's of moody synths.

I hear that JC is back behind the cameras working on "The Ward" I immensely enjoyed his Masters of Horror entries and must confess to being very excited about a new movie (and am praying it is a better piece than the trashy guilty pleasure that is Ghosts of Mars)

A Warning To The Curious

Sunday, 13. December 2009, 19:13:46

Soundtrack, Warning to the Curious, M.R James

As Christmas is drawing near I am compelled to share this with you. In the 1970's the BBC commissioned a series of adaptations of famous ghost stories which they broadcast over the festive period. I caught their version of the M.R. James classic A Warning to the Curious some years later and it left an indelible impression on me. Intensely scary and beautifully made, it captures the windswept lonliness of the East Coast of England exceptionally well, so here is a small rip of the score from this mini masterpiece ripped from the already out of print DVD.

Track Listing

1. The Legend
2. Arriving In Seaburg
3. The Churchyard
4. Agar
5. Looking For a Family
6. Looking For the Crown
7. Finding the Crown
8. Travelling Companion
9. Torn Pages
10. A Visitor
11. The Woods
12. Returning the Crown
13. A Warning to the Curious

"You can't tell where the beach ends and the sea begins"

Stelvio Cipriani, Soundtrack, Giallo, Goblin

I'm a major fan of Italian cinema, in particular The Giallo, there's something i find irresistible about the sometimes ridiculous plot twists, the red herrings, the delicious murder scenes and of course the astounding music scores.
Antonio Bido's giallo Solamente Nero is a hotch potch of other (some would say better) films, but aside from it's overall enjoyable nature and effective use of Venetian locations, it has one major plus: A score composed by Stelvio Cipriani and performed by the mighty Goblin. Without further ado, here's the score: Enjoy!

Thought I'd take a break from horror films for a while, here is the the various artist soundtrack to 1984 comedy Up the Creek starring Stephen Furst, Dan Monahan and the acting legend that is Tim Matheson!

I haven't seen this film in years but remember it fondly in the dim past of the eighties, in fact I believe the first copy of this I saw was a Betamax tape! I have no idea where I got this soundtrack, just found it on my computer the other day, so thanks/apologies to the original uploader.

Track Lisitng:

1. Up the Creek (04:01)
Cheap Trick
2. The Heat (04:07)
Heart
3. 30 Days in the Hole (03:50)
Kick Axe

Werner Herzog, Nosferatu, Popol Vuh

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.

Track Listing:
1. Bruder des Schattens (05:43)
2. H�re, Der du Wagst (06:00)
3. Das Schloss des Irrtums (05:37)
4. Die Umkehr (05:58)
5. Mantra 1 (06:15)
6. Morning Sun (03:21)
7. Venus Principle (04:41)
8. Mantra 2 (05:22)
9. Die Nacht Der Himmel (05:03)
10. Der Ruf Der Rohrflote (03:39)
11. To a Little Way (02:34)
12. Through Pain to Heaven (03:47)
13. On the Way (04:05)
14. Zwiesprache Der Rohrflote (03:22)

Listen. The children of the night make their music
