Today’s horror 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.

Horror Song of the Day: The Dead Are After Me by George Edward Lott
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!
Horror Song of the Day: Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes
Our first Horrorthon song of the day probably seems like an obvious choice. That’s okay, though. Thanks to John Carpenter, this sweet little song about teen love became an anthem of impending horror. None of the Chordettes are with us anymore. I would love to know what they may or may not have thought about Carpenter’s use of their song 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.
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bom, bom, bom, bom)
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen (bom, bom, bom, bom)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bom, bom, bom, bom)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I’m so alone (bom, bom, bom, bom)
Don’t have nobody to call my own (bom, bom, bom, bom)
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen
Give him the word that I’m not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I’m so alone
Don’t have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam (woah)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman (yes?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr. Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we’re too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring us
Please, please, please, Mr. Sandman
Bring us a dream
Songwriters: Clifford Smith / Robert F. Diggs / Jason S. Hunter
Song of the Day: Don’t Bring Me Down by ELO
The nights are indeed about to crazy around here, with October approaching. In my office, over the next 31 days, this song will be playing in the background, a reminder to keep dancing until the month comes to an end.
Song of the Day: Chernobyl by Blanck Mass
For today’s song of the day, we have Chernobyl by Blanck Mass. This piece of music was used to haunting effect in 2014’s A Field In England.
Song of the Day: Flux of Time by Jim Williams
Song of the Day: The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde by Georgie Fame
With today’s song of the day, we continue our Bonnie and Clyde theme!
This song is from 1968 and was inspired by Arthur Penn’s classic crime film, Bonnie and Clyde. Oddly enough, this song insists that Bonnie and Clyde were from Savannah, Georgia when everyone knows that they were from my part of the world, North Texas. Then again, “Savannah” does sound a bit better when set to music than “West Dallas.”
Song of the Day: Xanadu by Olivia Newton-John
One what would have been her birthday, today’s song of the day comes to us from Olivia Newton-John.
