IN THE SPOTLIGHT | 2014 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

This week in the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO SPOTLIGHT we will be presenting our 2014 Halloween Special as we’ll feature some spooky music from various film, TV and video game scores – most of which we’ve never played on the program before.

Before we get started I just want to thank composer David Coscina for again provide us with another variation on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO FANFARE and THEME.  You can hear the premiere of his The Planet of Apes inspired track during this very program.  You can also check it out – along with a ton of other original David Coscina compositions – by going to soundcloud.com/dcoscnia

You can listen to the entire show below.

Deep Darkness Cover

OCTOBER 28, 2014 – Up next we’ll be playing music from a film released this year called DEEP IN THE DARKNESS composed by one of Brian Tyler’s main orchestrators, Matthew Llewellyn.  A fine composer in his own right (we featured music from his score to DEAD SOULS last year) Llewellyn wrote a thematically rich score for the film with just the right amount of scares and terror to keep you up at night.

Saint Simmer Cover

OCTOBER 29, 2014 – CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO’S 2014 Halloween Special continues with one of the very best scores Christopher Lennertz has ever composed.  This gothic score made my top 10 list in 2002 and is one of my favourite horror genre scores.

Suspiria

OCTOBER 30, 2014 – It is an absolute pleasure to finally play Goblin’s 1977 prog-rock horror score SUSPIRIA on the program for you.  This album has been in my collection for many years and is one of the wildest, craziest, most original, out of this world, down right creepy film scores these ears have ever heard. Don’t listen to this one alone in the dark!

    Great show as always, Erik! Graves’ score (and what an appropriate name for a composer to feature at Halloween) reminds me some of Goldsmith’s “Planet of the Apes,” too, along with that wonderful seasonal fanfare! It also reminds me some of Goldsmith’s “Alien,” about 14 minutes into the podcast; and, of course, it sounds faithful to the venerable Death-as-fiddler tradition. (Shades of Hermann’s Psycho at the end!)

    Looking forward to the rest of your selections this week. Orchestral, classical, symphonic music has always been a large part of my Halloween observances, and I know I can count on you to introduce me to some good stuff!
