Today’s music video of the day is for the haunting piece of music that we all know from Requiem For A Dream and countless Olympic ice skating routines.
Anyone who says this is not a horror song has somehow forgotten watching Ellen Burstyn get electroshock treatment while Jared Leto loses his arm.
Enjoy!
This, of course, is from the soundtrack of Dario Argento’s film of the same name.
Today’s song of the day comes from the 1971 film, Vampyros Lesbos. The Vampires’ Sound Incorporation was a band specifically formed to do the soundtrack for Jess Franco’s classic portrait of Eurotrash decadence. This song found renewed popularity in the 90s when Quentin Tarantino included it on the Jackie Brown soundtrack.
I like this song. It’s great driving music and it sounds like something that a vampire would actually listen to.
This is a song that Claudio Simonetti composed for Dario Argento’s 1985 film, Opera.
Compared to the film, the video for this song is decidedly low-key but it’s still a lovely piece of music.
Today’s song of the day is this 1984 classic from Ray Parker, Jr. Have you busted a ghost today?
In memory of Bela Lugosi on his birthday, here is today’s song of the day.
Today’s song comes the hypnotic soundtrack of Paul Schrader’s Cat People. This song was so good that it later showed up and was used to equally strong effect in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
Demons (1985, dir by Lamberto Bava)
For today’s horror song of the day, we have Demon, a track from the soundtrack for the 1985 film, Demons. This song was composed and performed by Claudio Simonetti, who is best known as the keyboardist of Goblin.
The music video, incidentally, was directed by Michele Soavi, who also appeared in Demons as the mysterious masked man handing out free movie tickets.
Today’s horror song of the day comes from Dario Argento’s Deep Red!
Deep Red features the first collaboration between Argento and Goblin and the score remains a classic and one that I listen to every October.
Here’s Goblin performing Profondo Rosso on Italian television in 1975.
If you’ve ever watched The Horror of Party Beach, 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!
