''He looks like a squashed Octopus!'' (Basket Case Soundtrack)

BASKET CASE - BOOTLEG SOUNDTRACK (1982)




Hello, I'm back from the dead, and I finally had some more music to share! This time, it's from the 1982 cult classic "Basket Case", a film directed by Frank Henenlotter about one Duane Bradley and his deformed conjoined twin getting revenge on the doctor's that seperated them. Great film, one of the best camp horror films of the 80s, in my honest opinion.

What a great story, for one. And the setting, oye vay, so gritty and dark. There's seldom a moment where you feel comforted or safe, and you begin to feel the insanity rushing through Duane and Belial as the film progresses. It's trashy, it's crude, and it's beautiful.

Anyway, I have taken the liberties of creating a bootleg soundtrack of this great film, containing some snippets of dialogue and music ripped directly from the DVD. Collectors, dig in.

Get it here for the first time, hand-made just like Granny used to!:

Hang in there (if indeed there is anyone reading)

Long break...Will be back soon...

It's A Nightmare!!!

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
Rare Unreleased Song
Everyone loves a movie about a burn victim...it warms the heart to watch their struggles and triumphs, and seeing them overcome their difference is worth all the "Awww"s in the world.
----
But not this film. The only thing it'll warm is your pants, when you wet yourself with fear. Maybe not, but I felt I needed to tie my bad joke into the main topic to seem relevent...
----
We all know this film, and we all love to hate Mr. Krueger the dream demon slasher...but none of us seem to remember the ending music from the first film.
----
This rockin' piece is called "Nightmare", and was the end credits theme to the first Nightmare film, performed by a band called 213. No, not the group featuring Snoop Dogg, I'm talking about the one that nobody's ever heard of, and not even a rare music hunter such as myself.
----
That is why I took my brand-spanking-new DVD of NOES and ripped the song directly from the film, it's worth that much. The quality is amazing, and probably the best you'll get until New Line decides to release a super-duper special edition of the soundtrack...which will never happen.

"The Caller" (1987) Unreleased Theme Song

The Caller (1987)
Starring: Malcolm McDowell and Madolyn Smith Osborne
----
This film is not what you think it is...When I picked it up, I was thinking it was another awesomely cheesey slashfest based on the classic "the caller is calling from upstairs! Get out of the house!" story that we've heard over and over again. I thought I'd take this for a spin, and when I was finished watching it, I was both surprised and glad I had chosen to view this particular flick.
----
Malcolm stars as a freaky-ass dude who barges into a woman's cabin in the woods. Lucky for him, the woman isn't all that bad looking, and they continually make passes at each other and challenge each other's trust...in each other. There's alot of "each others" in here so bare with me!
----
They are the only two characters shown in the film. Voices are heard throughout, and a policeman appears towards the end for a split second, but the movie has no secondary characters, which makes Malcolm and Smith's performances all-the-more important. Luckily, neither of them is a sucky actor, so the film carried itself nicely.
----
Although not really a horror film, (it's more of a mystery/thriller) the movie had it's scary edges...like the ending which I won't give away. (Let's just say the special effects team did a really nice job!)
Here is a rip from my VHS tape in extremely good quality of the film's fantastic theme, performed by Richard Band.

The Goonies meets Creepshow!

The Willies (1991)
Starring: Sean Astin
----
I found this little gem while creeping around a video/record shop down in old NYC. At first glance, I was excited to see such a title connected with Sean Astin's name...thinking it must be a "Goonies knock-off", I bought it.
----
Not only is this not a Goonies knock-off, it's a very intersting film which I am surprised nobody seems to remember. It's like "Creepshow" for the younger crowd!
----
It's got zombies, monsters, giant bugs, rats found in fast food resteraunts, and even a reference to The Goonies (I was close enough...)
----
Yes, that's right. You heard me. A character in the film is enduring one of Sean Astin's stories (he was a teenager at the time), when he asks, "This isn't the one about the time your friends and you found that pirate ship in that cave, is it?"
----
Sean's character is even named Mike, just like his character in The Goonies. I found this to be a very enjoyable and cheesey movie that you should rightfully get your paws on soon, as it's floating around the net on DVD!
----
I have managed to capture the theme song from this film, and I will give it to you for FREE!!!
----
Just listen to the Addam's Family-esque organs and synths!


B-Grade Porno meets Halloween!

From the guys who brought you "Slumber Party Massacre"...I think...


Now I am a sucker as much as the next dead guy for these schlocky B-movies, but this one was just god awful...I really liked it!


It's one of those movies you plan on watching just for a laugh and some gratuitous nudity (and the nudity in this is pretty pointless as well, as it doesn't even occur during sex), but there's not really much else to this movie besides that.

It's basically the same plot as Halloween, but insert a few new characters and a different setting. Towards the beginning of the movie, the director chooses to deflower all three girl leads in a pointless (and hilarious) nude scene where the girls for some reason decide to try on each other's clothes...with bad elevator music to top it off!

The girls aren't particularly attractive, albeit one pretty cute one with black hair who promptly gets killed off...leaving us with this boring/plain looking lead character with a bad short haircut. . .
BUMMER!

I managed to rip the title (and ending) track from the film off my DVD copy, and I am hereby lending this rare piece of 80s cheese to be consumed by those of you with lower jaws...

Marty Rantzen Sucks!

Slaughter High (1985) - Theme Song
----
I bring to you the title track from the ultra-rare, ultra-cool horror film "Slaughter High" from 1985! The score was done by Harry Manfredini, the genius behind the Friday The 13th series before Fred Mollin took over. The cues used in this film are virtually the same (even some argue it's the exact same soundtrack to F13)...but the title track is one to remember. It's very catchy and zany, much like the film itself.
----
This film was like "Friday the 13th Goes To School", about a tormented nerd who takes revenge on his bullies during a graduation party. Awesomely cheesey and dated! Deaths include: A lawnmower chopping a guy up, a man's stomach exploding after drinking acid beer, a woman melting away in the bathtub, and electricution during sex!
----
It has never been realeased, so I ripped it from my old VHS tape. Hope it suffices! (I tried to keep the quality as high as possible), although it may be a bit fuzzy, it's still the only copy I know of! Enjoy!

First Post!!!

THE INTRODUCTION OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!

Hello boils and ghouls, this will be my first post EVER on blogger.com! Which means one thing: You probably don't know me yet!


Well, here's a little tip: I have never blogged before, and frankly, I don't know how or what to put on here at the moment. But by the time you're reading this, I'll probably have something up...so that means that I eventually do post something which has drawn you to this very blog to read this very first post...


I've got a huge fascination with horror, gothic rock, punk, new wave, and the eighties in general...so I might just randomly post songs and perhaps a few of my films I make over time.


Stick around, and don't die on me!

-Your friend, Dr. Tongue.
