Bonus Song of the Day: Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Thanks to the one and only John Carpenter, the version of this sweet little song that The Chordettes recorded in the 1950s will be forever associated with the Night He Came Home.  Sadly, none of the Chordettes are with us anymore and I haven’t been able to find any interviews about how they felt about their song of teenage love being used in Halloween.

I’d like to think they would have appreciated it.  Michael Myers may not have had hair like Liberace but he did have a mask that looked a lot like William Shatner.

 

Horror Song Of The Day: Dawn of the Dead Main Theme by Goblin

Dawn of the Dead (1978, dir by George Romero, DP: Michael Gornick)

Dario Argento not only produced and edited the European cut for 1978’s Dawn of the Dead, he also introduced George Romero to Goblin.  The Italian band, famous for their horror movie soundtracks, provided the classic score to Dawn of the Dead.

(Admittedly, the score is is used far more prominently in Argento’s cut of the film than in Romero’s.)

For today’s horror song of the day, here is Goblin’s Main Theme From Dawn of the Dead.

Music Video of the Day: Keep Your Demons by TAELA (2023, dir by ????)

It may be tempting to keep your demons but personally, I recommend going out to a field several states over, releasing them, and then running away as fast as you can.  There are some thing that you just don’t need to keep with you.

Enjoy!

Horror Song of The Day: Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by Giorgio Moroder and David Bowie

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.
