10 Favorite Horror Themes From Three Winters’ Anders B.
A few weeks ago, I posted an entry into the ‘Check This Band Out’ series and introduced you readers to Three Winters, a horror-influenced synthwave group out of Oslo, Norway. As explained, their music is heavily influenced by composers such as John Carpenter, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and the great giallo composers of the 70’s and 80’s.
Today, we bring you an amazing list from member Anders B., who takes us through his 10 Favorite Horror Themes. The list covers not only a wide range of horror movie genres but also a wide range of musical styles. It’s a fantastic list that comes from those rare horror fanatics that truly embrace the genre and everything it has to offer.
Head below for this incredible list and make sure to check out the band at the end!
Also, make sure to pre-order the group’s upcoming album Chroma right here.
10. Joseph Loduca – Behemoth [Evil Dead 2]
This used to frequent many of the mixtapes I made for myself during my teenage years, wedged in between all sorts of extreme metal.
I managed to track down a super expensive Japanese import cd of this soundtrack during the mid nineties which also included the music for Evil Dead 1. Not too shabby finding this in a country which was a complete horror movie wasteland up until the beginning of this century, much due to strict censors.

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc
The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors.
Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.
In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.
“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”
The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.
“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement.
Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
