Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! As many of you probably already know, that means Black Friday is right around the corner. While stores aren’t necessarily as packed as they used to be thanks to online deals and events like Cyber Monday, Black Friday is nonetheless a very stressful and busy day for some people. There are just so many deals out there! I don’t know about any of you, but I choose to stay out of the brick-and-mortar stores and stick to online shopping in my pajamas at my home. Here is a list of some of the must-have horror albums that we think you should consider purchasing this Black Friday!
It Follows
Let’s just get this out of the way right now: It Follows has one of the best horror soundtracks in recent memory. Reminiscent of the synth scores from the 70s and 80s, Disasterpeace’s score is a brilliant score that has earned its place in horror movie history with the other greats like the scores from Halloween and Suspiria.
John Carpenter’s Lost Themes
John Carpenter returned to us this year not in film, but in the form of this amazing collection of original piece of music that harkens back to the scores for Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13 and many others. Made in collaboration with his son Cody and composer Daniel Davies, it’s a return to form for the director who really needed a comeback.
Goblin Rebirth
Our own Jonathan Barkan gave this album a glowing review back in July, calling it a “breath of fresh decaying, rotten air that we so richly deserve.” Definitely give it a listen!
Army of Darkness
The soundtrack of the third installment in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy arguably has the most memorable score out of all the films in the franchise (bold statement, I know), and it comes to life in this outstanding vinyl edition.
Cooties
Cooties the film didn’t fully live up to its potential, but it did have a pretty fun (and goofy soundtrack). If anything, this vinyl is worth getting just for the minimal (but fantastic) cover art.
House of the Devil
An oldie but a goodie, the soundtrack to The House of the Devil is very much like that of the soundtrack for It Follows in that it harkens back to the synth scores of the horror films from the 70s and 80s. It’s all one big nostalgia trip and it’s a total blast.
Trick ‘r Treat
Just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean that you can’t still listen to Trick ‘r Treat’s frivolous and light-hearted score on vinyl. Give yourself the best gift this Black Friday and check out Douglas Pipes’ extremely fun score.
