Friday The 13th (2009)

Here's the soundtrack for the recent remake of Friday The 13th. I must admit that I was skeptical about this movie going into it because I had seen all of the movies in the original series. This movie by no means was a cheap ripoff remake. The Jason in this movie was a cold-blooded mofo. I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw in this movie. Enjoy....

The Dark Knight

This movie was owned by Heath Ledger (who deserved his Oscar by the way). Just watching him chew up the scenery put chills down my spine. I thought that Jack Nicholson was the definitive Joker until I saw this movie. Enjoy this deluxe soundtrack....

Batman: The Musical

Here was a bit of an oddity that I ran across as a torrent. I remember hearing about a musical based upon Batman with music & lyrics by Jim Steinman. In a way, I'm glad that this disn't see the light of day, because I can't picture Batman beating someone down and singing a song at the same time. Listen & enjoy what came close to being a reality....

Batman - The Musical

1984

Here's something you don't see that very often, two different soundtracks from the same movie. Here's the reason why (thanks to IMDB):

"Richard Branson's Virgin Films, the production company bankrolling the movie, had wanted a commercially viable pop act to compose the music for the film to increase its market potential. Originally they approached David Bowie, who had used Orwell's novel as inspiration for some songs on his 1974 album, "Diamond Dogs", but he demanded too much money for the job. They opted instead for Eurythmics, who had initially turned down the offer but later accepted. The director Michael Radford was unaware of this plan and had already hired Dominic Muldowney to compose the entirety of the film's musical score. Virgin Films exercised their right of final cut and dubbed in some of the Eurythmics score for the film's theatrical release. Radford was displeased with this development and retaliated by withdrawing the film for consideration for BAFTA award for Best Picture. When the film did win the Evening Standard award for Best Film of the Year, Radford took the opportunity to denounce the Eurythmics involvement in his acceptance speech at the nationally televised ceremony."

So, here's the soundtracks by both the Eurythmics and Dominic Muldowney. Enjoy....




Dominic Muldowney - 1984 (Original Score)


Eurythmics - 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother)

Friday The 13th Special Edition

Here's an anthology comprising of music from the first eight Fridays, which were released by Paramount Pictures. This is another fan-made effort because I haven't seen this one available in any of the retail outlets. Enjoy....

Most Haunted

This show is a guilty pleasure to watch. It's one of the earliest entries in the paranormal TV genre that seems to be sweeping the airwaves as of late. This show was particularly noteworthy when Derek Acorah, the so-called spiritualist medium on the show, would get possessed by spirits. Enjoy this seemingly fan-made effort...





Most Haunted

The 'Burbs

This is one of my favorite films from the late 80's. The film shows that suburbia can have quite a dark side to it. If you haven't seen this yet, it will make you think a little bit differently about the new people who move into your nice suburban cul-de-sac. Enjoy....

Harry Callahan: [points out the biggest, nastiest-looking guy in the prison to Janero] See that gorilla down there? That's Butcher Hicks... and he's killed three men. You know how he did it? He tore 'em apart with his teeth! Didn't even find all the pieces... you might say he has an unhealthy appetite.
Lou Janero: [nervous, but trying not to show it] So what?
Harry Callahan: So Hicks there is my new pen pal. I'm going to be sending him a letter once a week, and I'm going to be telling him how I'm gonna be looking in on his sick mother, and how I'm trying to get him special privileges here at the prison. And you know what's the interesting part? The interesting part is if anything happens to me, and Hicks doesn't get his letter, he's going to be really pissed off, and he's going to come down here and see you because you're the mail man. In fact he'll probably come down here to this post office and cancel your ass like a stamp. So you'd better ensure prompt, courteous delivery, and pray that nothing happens to me.

Sudden Impact

Sorry about not posting this in such a late fashion, but I was in my annual anti-social holiday phase. Don't know why, but it happens every year. Well anyway, back to the matter at hand. Here's the soundtrack for the 1983 installment in the saga of "Dirty Harry" Callahan. Enjoy this gem by Lalo Schifrin....

Dirty Harry

This is one of my favorite Clint Eastwood titles, right along with the other four in the "Dirty Harry" series. There need to be more police officers like this on the streets. The crime rate would probably drop drastically, but lawsuits against the cities would probably rise. Enjoy this soundtrack from an awesome cop movie....

Piledriver: The Wrestling Album 2

Thank God for torrent files. I saw this gem and latched onto it right away. This is the second release by the WWE. I had this on vinyl back in the good old days. I don't even think this was released on CD. This release helped to pave the way for the current slew of WWE collections featuring entrance themes of their performers. Take a listen to this one just to hear Vince McMahon (yes, that Vince McMahon) performing on one of the tracks. Other standout tracks on this album feature the entrance themes for The Honky Tonk Man and Demolition. Enjoy this otherwise unavailable gem....

Torchwood

I know I've neglected this blog for quite a while, but I've been hanging out at mt other blog. Here's the soundtrack for the first of the current "Doctor Who" spin-off's. It's a cool show, but there are some themes in it which may put off some viewers. Enjoy...

Louder Than Hell

Sam Kinison was one of Comedy's two bad boys from the Modern Age (Andrew "Dice" Clay being the other). Sam took comedy to new levels of popularity by headlining arenas while most comics were still performing in clubs and theaters. He also had the gift to make you laugh and cringe at the same time. No topic was sacred to him. He tore apart everything from relationships to organized religion. He was brash, loud, politically incorrect, but most of all, he was funny as hell. Enjoy the long out of print debut release from this comic genius....

The Golden Age Of Wireless

This is one of my favorite albums from the Summer of 83. It's hard to believe that it's 25 years old. At first, I couldn't stand this album. It sort of grew on me though. Enjoy this classic piece of 80's synth rock....

New Hope For The Wretched

Here's one of my favorites from the early 80's. I still remember seeing this band on the decunct ABC series "Fridays". It had to be late night TV that had this band on. I don't think that many parents would want their children watching a blond with black electrician's tape covering her nipples engaging in all sorts of violent behavior during family viewing time. Enjoy this loud and fast gem. Here's a warning to the kiddies: try being a guitar hero to this one....

A Nightmare On Elm Street

This is one of my favorite all-time modern horror films. This has some great lines, innovative death scenes, and a killer with a sense of humor and a gift of great comic timing. This is a rip of my CD with the song "Nightmare", which played over the credits, added as a bonus track of sorts. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank "The Ripper" over at the Inferno Music Crypt for posting that one. Enjoy....

Classic Kiss

I finally got the third and final volume in the "Kissology" DVD series. Watching all of the old KISS concerts from the era when they had the makeup on brought back a lot of the twisted memories of my mispent youth. I don't know about you folks out there in blogland, but I prefer the KISS era with makeup over their era without the makeup. It was just something there that made them larger that life when they had the makeup on. The mystique seemed to vanish when they unmasked. Enjoy some clasic rock....

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

I just saw this and I want to share this with whoever happens to run across my blog. I can't wait for this one. It's a shame this wasn't shown during the Superbowl though. Enjoy....

Superbad

This movie reminded me so much of my own youth that it's not even funny. I went through everything these guys went through. I wanted a phony ID, booze, and every girl that I came across. Fogell (or McLovin) is the funniest character in this movie. Enjoy this teen comedy soundtrack....



Superbad:

Evan: You changed your name to McLovin?
Seth: It doesn't even have a first name, it just says McLovin!
Evan: The guy's either going think 'here's another guy with a fake ID', or here's McLovin, 25 year old Hawaiian organ donor. Okay? So what's it gonna be?
Fogell: [grinning] I am McLovin.

Uncle Buck

This was John Candy's best film. If you haven't seen this movie, I would definitely say to check this one out. Macaulay Culkin and the other kids steal every scene that they're in. Enjoy....



Uncle Buck:

Buck: Did you brush your teeth?
Miles: Yeah. You can even feel my toothbrush.
Buck: You know, I have a friend who works at the crime lab at the police station. I could give him your toothbrush and he could run a test on it... to see if you actually brushed your teeth... or just ran your toothbrush under the faucet.
[Miles imagines hearing sirens, Buck leaves]
Maisy Russell: If that's true, we're gonna REALLY have to start brushing our teeth.

The Spy Who Shagged Me

This movie was the funniest one of the trilogy in my opinion. It introduced the world to the characters of Mini-Me and Fat Bastard. It also had two great soundtrack albums. Enjoy.....



Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me:


Scott: [both are the Jerry Springer show] How could you do this to me? On national television!
Dr. Evil: Well throw me a freakin' bone here, Scott.
Scott: Why did you run out on me?
Dr. Evil: Because you're not quite evil enough.
[audience boos]
Dr. Evil: Well it's true! It's true! You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.




More Music From Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me:


Scott: Look, I was wondering if we could work all this out? You are, after all, my father.
Dr Evil: Scott, you had your chance, okay? I've already had someone created in my image. He's evil, he wants to take over the world, and he fits easily into most overhead storage bins.
Scott: Him? Look at him, he's crazy. He's like a vicious little Chihuahua thing. He'll kill me the first chance he gets.
Dr Evil: Probably.

Acid Eaters

Normally, I'm not a big fan of cover songs. Very few bands can pull off a sucessful cover verion of another band's music. The Ramones pull it off quite well with this release. Standout tracks on this album include "Journey To The Center Of The Mind", "Somebody To Love", & "Out Of Time". Enjoy....


Acid Eaters

Hot Fuzz

Here's the soundtrack for another hilarious film by Simon Pegg. This has a spot on my video shelf right next to "Shaun Of The Dead". Enjoy....



Nicholas Angel: [turning around to face a group of school children] Are there any questions?
Danny Butterman: [sitting at the back of a group of school children] Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?

Shaun Of The Dead

This movie is one that will keep you in stitches if you have an appreciation for British humor. Enjoy this one....


Shaun Of The Dead

Ready To Rumble

This film is a guilty pleasure of mine. It has wrestlers and gross-out humor in it. Just the thing for me to watch when I need a pick-me-up fix. This film was released just as the notorious "Monday Night War" was going on between Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling and Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation. WCW hyped this movie to the extent that David Arquette somehow became the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Enjoy this out of print gem....



Eugenia King: What are ya high? I haven't seen him in two years. All I've got to remember him by is an itchy crotch. You ever see crabs up close? Wanna see?

Gordie Boggs: Fantastic!

From The Inside

This is a great album. Personally, it's my favorite album by Alice Cooper. It was inspired by a 1977 stint in rehab. The songs on this intensely personal album were all based on the other patients who were there at the time with him. All of the songs were written by both Cooper and long-time Elton John collaborator, Bernie Taupin. There are no standout tracks on this album. All of the tracks are standout tracks. Enjoy....

Halloween (2007) Score

I didn't even think that something like this even existed. There's the movie soundtrack with sound bites and music featured in the film, but there wasn't a score until a friend of mine e-mailed it to me. I like the music from the movie, but the combination of Michael Myers and "Tom Sawyer" by Rush was just a tad too much for me. Be warned - there are no track numbers for the songs on the score. You'll just have to go by memory or mix the tunes as you like. If someone has a track listing, I would be greatly appreciative. Enjoy Tyler Bates' score for the Rob Zombie version of "Halloween"......


Halloween Score:
These eyes will deceive you, they will destroy you. They will take from you, your innocence, your pride, and eventually your soul. These eyes do not see what you and I see. Behind these eyes one finds only blackness, the absence of light, these are the eyes of a psychopath.

Animal House

Recently, I posted the soundtrack for "Borat", which was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I wanted to share both the original score and soundtrack for "National Lampoon's Animal House. I saw this movie and it brought me to tears. I could go on and on about "Animal House", but then the post would be way too long. These were found over at the Universal Horror Sounds blog. Thanks for posting not only the extended soundtrack (including "Who's Sorry Now by Connie Francis and "Theme From A Summer Place" by Harry Mancini) and Elmer Bernstein's original score. I didn't even know that it even existed. If you've been living in a cave and have never seen "Animal House", I would suggest you get away from you computer to rent or buy this comedy masterpiece. Enjoy......

The Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper

I seem to be on some sort of phase with Horror-themed rock these days. Don't know why, but I'm not complaining about it. Here's the box set "The Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper". Alice was the pioneer when it came to making sure his fans not only heard good music, but saw an awesome show. Enjoy....

Black Sabbath

While the Misfits were the first of the "Horrorpunk" genre, Black Sabbath were and still are the undisputed kings of Dark Rock. The band has had several incarnations, but the original line-up from 1970 - 1978 with Ozzy Osbourne is the most widely recognized incarnation of the band. Ronnie James Dio came in to fill Ozzy's vacancy in 1980 to usher in their second era. While the music was good, I hated to see Sabbath live during this time because Dio always seemed to be a pompous posturing twit on stage. Dio was with the band until 1982 when some sort of backstage politics got him out of the band. In 1983, Sabbath sort of became like Spinal Tap in the same respect that the vocalist spot seemed to be a revolving door with even Dio coming back and then leaving again in a childish temper tantrum. Now Dio's back with some of the original band, who's now performing as "Heaven & Hell". Enjoy the sound of Sabbath's greatest hits....

Metropolis

Here's the soundtrack for the 1984 redux of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis". Some film purists dismissed it as egotistical fluff by Giorgio Moroder, but I kind of liked it and enjoy it just as much as the original version. Enjoy....


Metropolis Soundtrack

Here's the trailer for the 1984 version of "Metropolis":

Universal's Heavy Hitters

"Dracula" and "Frankenstein" are the foundations of Universal's House of Classic Horror. If it weren't for these movies, I would probably have no life and be a lot more boring than I am now. The Dracula soundtrack was done by Philip Glass and The Kronos Quartet in conjunction with the anniversary of Dracula. It makes viewing Dracula a lot easier because I can't handle the fact that Dracula had no soundtrack whatsoever in it's original form. The static from the print of Dracula in it's original form was something akin to running your fingers down a blackboard. The Dracula Legacy Collection that's available currently from Universal has both versions of "Dracula" on it for the purists who wish to watch the film in its original unadulterated version. The Words And Music Of Frankenstein was lovingly put together and released in 1999 by Rob Zombie. This release incorporates dialogue and music from "Frankenstein", "The Bride Of Frankenstein", and "Son Of Frankenstein". Kudos go out to Rob Zombie for working on this one. The man has a genuine love and respect for the old classics from Universal. I sit back and think what he would possibly do if he could re-imagine these two classics. Thankfully, no one has ever decided to remake these two classics of the genre. Enjoy....


Dracula


The Words And Music Of Frankenstein

Here's a nice little bonus from the Universal Horror Sounds Blog. This is the unofficial soundtrack to "Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein". This also incorporates both dialogue and music from A & C Meet Frankenstein. Enjoy....


Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein

The Revillos - Rev Up

I ran across this one strictly by accident. The title song for this one was featured during the school dance in "Sixteen Candles". I like the sound of this band. It's highly reminiscient of that local garage band with out of tune instruments that would actually play (or attempt to play) at one of your high school dances. The band's outfits on the the cover make me think that they were a B-52's wannabe. Enjoy....



The Revillos - Rev Up

Ghost Story

Here's the score for 1981's "Ghost Story". This was a great adaptation of Peter Straub's classic novel. It's a great atmospheric thriller that doesn't rely on blood and guts to entertain. It will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. This film is highly recommended by me. Enjoy.....


Ghost Story

Fast Times At Ridgemont High

Here's the soundtrack to "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". This was the first of Universal's foray into the "teen" movie genre. How many of you guys wore out your old VHS copies of this movie's swimming pool scene? If you're a normal American male, you can admit to it. The only thing that's bad about this soundtrack is that "Moving In Stereo" by The Cars wasn't included on this release. Enjoy....




Brad Hamilton: Why don't you get a job Spicoli?
Jeff Spicoli: What for?
Brad Hamilton: You need money.
Jeff Spicoli: All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)

In 1978, someone came up with the brilliant idea (and I do mean brilliant) to adapt some Beatles songs into a film. Whoever came up with this idea had to be the world's first crack or meth addict. This was an atrocious film. I would have best left it as a cover album instead of the movie. Two of the oddest Beatles covers I've ever heard are on this release. George Burns does "Fixing A Hole" while Steve Martin covers "Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Standout tracks are "Because" by Alice Cooper and "Come Together" by Aerosmith. Enjoy....

Sgt. Pepper Disc Two

Borat

There's really nothing I can say about "Borat" that hasn't been said already. I haven't laughed this much at a movie since the early 80's. God, that sounds so long ago. Here's the soundtrack from one of the funniest movies ever made. If you live in a cave and haven't seen the movie yet, do so and then listen to the just as crazy soundtrack. Enjoy....




Borat: [while driving] Look, there is a woman in a car! Can we follow her and maybe make a sexy time with her?
Driving Instructor: No, no, no, no, no, no!
Borat: A-why not?
Driving Instructor: Because a woman has the right to choose who she has sex with.
Borat: [stunned] WHAT...? You joke?
Driving Instructor: It must be consensual. How 'bout that?
Borat: [turns to Instructor, pauses] Ahahahahaha!
Driving Instructor: That's good, huh?
Borat: [pause] Is not good for me.

Scarface (1983)

With exception of the "Godfather" films, This probably stands out as one of the greatest gangster films ever made. It's a pop culture gem also. Everyone from rappers to other filmmakers have directly quoted this film as a direct influence on their lives. The only bad thing aboout this is that they never put sound bites from the film on this soundtrack. That would have been a welcome extra due to Pacino having some great lines and monologues through the movie. Enjoy this gem from the eighties.....



Tony Montana: I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
