Continuing today’s Atlantis theme, here’s a song about the lost continent from Donovan.
It’s kind of a silly song. I mean, just listen to Donovan’s opening monologue. But that chorus is next to impossible to get out of your head and, even more importantly, the song is iconic due to its use in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. Try to listen to this without thinking about Billy Batts and that night at the club.
It’s amazing the things that you see while you’re out running. Seriously, I start nearly every morning with a run and …. well, I’ve never seen any of the stuff that’s seen in this video but then again, I’m also not running in Portland.
Is this a Halloween video? Dracula would say yes.
Enjoy!
The dead! Are after me!
The 1986 film, Raiders of the Living Dead, features what may be the greatest song ever written about zombies. For your listening pleasure, here is George Edward Lott’s The Dead Are After Me!
Inferno (1980, dir by Dario Argento, DP: Romana Albano)
Today’s horror song of the day comes from Keith Emerson’s soundtrack of Dario Argento’s Inferno. I have to admit that, when I first saw Inferno, I thought that Emerson’s music was maybe a little bit too overdramatic for the film but, on subsequent viewings, it’s really grown on me.
Emerson did not have an enviable task, having to follow up Goblin’s soundtrack for Suspiria. But Emerson pulled it off, crafting a score that compliments Goblin’s earlier work while maintaining an identity of its own.
Skulls, fire, and loud music in the desert?
Why, that’s perfect for Halloween!
Enjoy!
If you watched Horror of Party Beach earlier today, you’ll definitely remember this song, which was performed by a Patterson, New Jersey band called The Del-Aires!
Everybody’s doing the zombie stomp!
I’m in a beach-y kind of mood today and today’s song of the day reflects that! From 1975’s Jaws, here’s a piece of music that everyone should instantly recognize, whether they’ve seen the film or not.
It’s true! There are goths in Texas. There’s actually quite a few of them. I experimented with being one back when I was eighteen and writing tortured poetry.
So, this video definitely speaks to me.
Enjoy!
Whenever I watch 2010’s Birdemic, I wonder how the birds could possibly want to destroy a civilization that is capable of something like Hanging Out With My Family.
Today’s horror song of the day really needs no introduction.
From 1960, here is the main theme from Alfred Hitchcok’s Psycho, composed by Bernard Herrmann.
