Intrada Goes to The Funhouse

Tobe Hooper’s 1981flick The Funhouse was a nice combination between a slasher film and a monster movie and pretty entertaining. The score from John Beal, was originally released in a version that only ran 38 minutes. But now, thanks to Intrada, we’re getting the complete score, along with another half hour of extras and alternate musical tracks, all remastered from the 24-track session tapes!

The total running time for this release is over 77 minutes, which is going to make any fan of this movie and it’s score very happy. Priced at $21.99, you can order your copy either directly from Intrada HERE or from Screen Archives Entertainment HERE, which is where I usually get my soundtracks from. They have a huge selection and good prices.

Dial M for Murder Soundtrack!

Dial M for MurderFans of classic Hitchcock and soundtracks will be thrilled to hear that the score for his 1954 thriller, that has been painstakingly re-recorded under the direction of William Stromberg, recorded in Glasgow’s new state-of-the-art recording venue. They wanted to make sure that with this new recording, they were able to make it feel like Dimitri Tiomkin’s original.

This release also includes both used and unused “intermission cards” for the 3-D presentations, an alternate main title, as well as unused arrangements. With 15 tracks and a total running time of 65 minutes, I think this a must for any Hitchcock fans, as well as composer Tiomkin. You can get it directly from Intrada (click HERE) or from Screen Archives Entertainment (click HERE).

Horror Rises from the Tomb / The Killer is One of Thirteen
Released by Quartet Records

17 Tracks with a Total Running Time of 34.13
Music by Carmelo Bernaola & Alfonso Santisteban

Listen up folks, the fact that I even have this chance to review a soundtrack for not one, but TWO Paul Naschy movies is something that I never thought would be possible. Plus the fact that one of the films is the first Naschy flick I had ever seen, and still remains my favorite, Horror Rises from the Tomb. So I am more than a wee bit stoked when this came in the mail.

Paganini Horror Soundtrack Anyone?

paganini horror cd

While I will admit that this movie is really only viewing during a Turkey Day marathon, I still have a certain fondness for it. Directed by Luigi Cozzi and c0-written (and starring in) Daria Nicolodi, this movie definitely freezes that point in time with cheesy rock music videos. A band is shootting a muisc video with the ghost of composer Paganini shows up to kill them with a bladed violin. Yeah…gotta love it.
