Shadow of the Vampire

I just rented this movie and watched it the other night for the first time in years.  I forgot how much I love the score, written by Dan Jones (with excerpts from Wagner).

Folder includes audio from the opening and closing credits of the film.

I'm particularly fond of the beginning passages of the music for the closing credits.  Jones took the same tired old James Bond progression and made with it something more, something much worse.

Season Of The Witch

The season is almost upon us, and my 2010 Halloween mixtape is almost complete.  It will drop no later than October 1st


Last night I watched one of my favorite worst/best horror films, Halloween III: The Season Of The Witch.  Some of the audio bits inspired me to do one last quick crash-up for the mixtape, and I thought I'd share it with you here as a sneak peek.  You'll surely recognize the uber-annoying Silver Shamrock theme from your misspent youth.

(Father Morning is the chosen name for my alter-ego this time around.  Last year it was The Silly Doctor.)

I hope you enjoy this piece of b-movie audio trash as much as I enjoyed tossing it together.  Father Morning enjoys tossing a nice salad.

Broken/Head Over Heels (Preacher Mix)

This one took some real digging.  The best copy I could find was still far from CD quality.  Were it any other song, I would have stopped looking.

Head Over Heels is the same as the album version as far as I can tell, but Broken is extended.  Very lovely.

I wish I had purchased this one the first time around!
