Waxwork Records Pleases Again With CREEPSHOW Reissue

If you love horror and you love vinyl, than Waxwork Records should be one of your favorite companies in the world. Heaven knows they're one of mine, and I always get excited when they break news on their next big project. This time they've set their sights on the amazing horror anthology, Creepshow! 

The art for the sleeve and gatefold was done by Gary Pullin and the soundtrack was remastered from the original master tapes, which were lost for over 30 years. This really is something special. 

To commemorate that, Waxwork is going to be offering FIVE different vinyl variants! Below you'll find more details on each of those versions as well as pictures of the art and gatefold!

George A. Romero's Day of the Dead (1985) - A Review

“First there was ‘Night of the Living Dead’, then ‘Dawn of the Dead’… and now the darkest day of horror the world has ever known.”

I had the wonderful privilege of attending the Day of the Dead Soundtrack Festival on Monday night at the beautiful Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. George A. Romero was in attendance, along with composer John Harrison, Howard Sherman, Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) and Joe Pilato for a post-screening Q&A. It was a dream come true for any horror fan, and to be sitting a mere 20 feet away from the godfather of zombies was quite an honor. 

While I have grown weary of the current zombie infestation that seems to be infecting every inch of pop culture, I had a wonderful time watching this film and getting a nice reminder about why George A. Romero is one of the horror greats. No matter how many zombies I see, his will always be the best. 

For those of you who have not seen Day of the Dead, it is a wonderful zombie with a twist. It’s strangely heartfelt, whacky, zany, hilarious and extremely graphic. It’s a very fun ride, you will laugh, you will cringe, you will jump, you may even get a little misty eyed, but mostly you’ll laugh. A lot. 

Hey Angelenos! Waxworks Records is Bringing You the DAY OF THE DEAD Soundtrack Festival!

Zombie lovers, and horror lovers in general, in the Los Angeles area can begin their rejoicing because this is awesome news. 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. 

Harrison, Romero and Sherman Howard will all be in attendance, so you not only get to watch the film on the big screen with the horror heroes, but there will also be a live Q&A after the film, followed by a signing with all three. 

The best part about all of this is it's free! Head to lalalandrecords.com to get a pair of tickets before they all get snatched up. 
 
I'll be there. Will you?
