Whistle While You Work: Bloody Disgusting Will Keep You Going for Over 90 Hours!


I don't know about you, but when I'm reading horror, writing horror or even just want to dream horror, I throw on my favorite soundtracks, be it Re-Animator or The Omen, and have myself a good old time. Obviously the guys over at Bloody-Disgusting feel the same way, so they've compiled a massive 90+ hour Spotify playlist full of all your favorites?

Whether you want to take a trip down memory lane with your favorite themes, or just put it on shuffle and create a fun little guessing game, this playlist is pretty much a must have for horror fans. Head below and check it out, and thank BD's John Marrone for the ear candy!

Get The Sounds Of The Entire HALLOWEEN Franchise On HALLOWEEN: THE SOUND OF EVIL


It's a pretty magical month for fans of Halloween, what with the release of the 35th Anniversary Special Edition Blu-Ray last week, now you can own all those iconic themes, scores and sounds from the ENTIRE franchise in one collection thanks to BuySoundtrax Records! Read on for the press release: 

BuySoundtrax Records is proud to scare the bejeezus out of you this fall with the release of HALLOWEEN: THE SOUND OF EVIL – MUSIC FROM THE HALLOWEEN FILM SCORES, available digitally and on CD on October 2, 2013. The collection is the first to celebrate the music from the eight films in the original series and the two films in the re-imagined series and includes music by John Carpenter, Alan Howarth, John Ottman, Danny Lux, and Tyler Bates. The album is arranged and produced by Dominik Hauser.
 
Filmmaker John Carpenter created not only the slasher film that reinvented the genre, but the music that would define terror for decades to come. “The piercing tonality of his shrill synth sustains took on the gleaming sheen of a butcher knife’s blade, while the electronic stabs of lower-end synth chords became the brutal blows of the killer’s slashing arm and the repetitive, tinkling piano notes became the spine-chilling icicles dripping down your spine,” describes Randall D. Larson, author of Musique Fantastique: 100 Years of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Film Music in the liner notes.

HALLOWEEN: THE SOUND OF EVIL – MUSIC FROM THE HALLOWEEN FILM SCORES will be available digitally, via BuySoundtrax and other outlets on October 2, 2013.

Waxwork Records will be holding a very special festival at the famous Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, CA on September 30th for the special edition release of the original soundtrack of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead by John Harrison.

Friday night I decided to take a trip to my local record/used CD and DVD store to pick up some new DVD’s to add to the collection. I stumbled across this and had to take it home. 
Let me just say, it sounds magnificent.
