Fright Night Score RE-UP

I had a reader request that I post the "Fright Night" score by Brad Fiedel on the blog again, so rather than doing a new post I just updated the link on the original post I made. Make your way to that post using the link below.

Top 10 Favorite Movie Monsters

Here is a list of my all time favorite movie monsters, in no particular order. As all of these monsters have been talked about to death I will provide some brief commentary, but nothing more.

The Predator (Predator - 1987)
Although I said no particular order this character may take the #1 spot. Stan Winston's creature design is absolutely amazing. The film and the story behind the Predator has captured my imagination since the first time I saw the movie.

Godzilla (Godzilla - 1954)
King of the Monsters... that pretty much says it all.

The Alien (Alien - 1979)
In world of sci-fi and horror few can deny that HR-Gieger's nightmarish design of the titular creature is breathtaking. It's a monster that has stood the test of time. Various design changes have occurred since the first film, but the structure of the original design is there and stands up to this day.

Jaws (Jaws - 1975)
This movie monster single handedly put the fear or sharks into the public consciousness, which has remained to this day.

Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare On Elm Street - 1984)
Although, many consider him a "slasher" type of villain, I see him as a monster because of of his powers and way he attacks his victims. He's well beyond a Leatherface or Michael Meyers type of character.

The Creeper (Jeepers Creepers - 2001)
This creature is probably the only new movie monster in the last decade that seems to capture everything I like about an original movie monster. Mysterious, creepy and above all memorable.

The Thing (The Thing - 1982)
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The monster in this movie, is not one particular creature or design, but that is what makes the Thing so cool, is it's ability to hide in plain sight. However, when attacked we the viewer are able to see some of the strangest creatures seen on film. The dog kennel scene is a favorite of mine.

Werewolf (The Howling - 1980)
I've always been a fan of werewolves. The transformation scene and final design of the werewolves in "The Howling" is my favorite to this day. No film other than "An American Werewolf in London" has come close to this movie magic and the movie is almost 30 yrs old.

T-800 (The Terminator - 1984)
I don't know if everyone would consider a robot a monster, but when it comes to the Terminator he's a monster in my book, not organic, but monstrous machine. Schwarzenegger's performance is great, and the endoskeleton version at the end of the film is even scarier. This is another one of Stan Winstons greatest designs.

The Gill Man (Creature from the Black Lagoon - 1954)
There were some great "Universal" classic monsters that everyone knows, but the coolest looking to me was the Gill Man. I look at the design of the creature now and it looks just as great to me as when I first saw him swim out of my TV. My first viewing was the 3D version at home.

Return of the Living Dead (Full Soudtrack)

It's nearing Halloween so I thought I'd put up a horror themed soundtrack. It's for my all-time favorite zombie movie "Return of the Living Dead". I love the weird story, the mix of horror and comedy and a pretty interesting soundtrack to boot. If you haven't seen this make a date to watch it this Saturday. You won't be disappointed. For those who have seen it and love it here is the fantastic soundtrack, which includes a dvd rip of the intro credit music.

"You think this is a f#ckin' costume? This is a way of life. " - Suicide

RE-UP - Deadly Friend soundtrack

I haVE RE-UPPED the complete score/soundtrack to the Wes Craven film "Deadly Friend". This was requested by Veronica.

Tim Curry - Anything Can Happen on Halloween (Wost Witch)

Today I have a track that I for October. This was requested I re-up this one. This is the Tim Curry song from the 1986 movie "The Wost Witch" starring Fairuza Balk. The special effects used during Curry's performance of this song could be the worst the 80s ever produced, but that song is so damn catchy. Curry as always is pretty entertaining in his small role in the film.

The download link can be found on the original post I did back in 2007

RE-UP Tales From the Darkside (Intro Theme)Donald Rubinstein

UPDATED DOWNLOAD LINK
This is my 4th re-up for this theme. It's a popular one. I now have an updated version with the voice over that has much better sound quality than the previous download.
* * *
This was a request from fellow reader R.J. Sayer. Sorry it took so long. As an added bonus for having to wait for these two tracks I have an additional song thrown in. Donald Rubinstein's theme he composed for the "Monsters" TV show that was a similar show to "Tales From the Darkside", but from what I recall had some added humor at times.

"Tales From the Darkside" was a fun horror themed TV show in the vein of Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. There were some great episodes. One I watched on youTube was called "Halloween Candy". It was a pretty good episode that captured the feel of the show.

I've read that George Romero originally wanted to do the show as "Creepshow", but Warner Bros. had the rights to that name or something like that so they ended up doing it as "Darkside"

I have both the instrumental and version with the voice over. It's a great creepy theme that gave me an uneasy feeling when I was little.

Man lives in the sunlit world
of what he believes to be reality.
But, there is, unseen by most, an underworld,
a place that is just as real,
but not as brightly lit.....
A DARKSIDE.
