Here are Details For Milan Records’ ‘Ninja Scroll’ Vinyl Release (Exclusive)
It’s been known for a while now that Milan Records would be releasing Kaoru Wada‘s fantastic score to the 1993 action horror/thriller anime Ninja Scroll. However, details have been a little scarce in regards to an official release and packaging. Today, that changes as we’re thrilled to reveal the release date as well as show you the cover and what the record itself will look like!
Jubei Kipagami, a ninja mercenary, wanders the countryside in search of work. On his travels, he encounters Kagero, a female ninja whose poisoned blood causes her pale skin to be lethal to the touch. Jubei rescues the woman from Tessai, a creature made of rock. They later find that Tessai is one of the Eight Devils of Kimon, who are involved in a plot to overthrow the Shogun.
I remember buying Ninja Scroll on VHS and watching it so many times that the tape became almost pure static. There was a period where, no joke, I would watch it, rewind the movie, and start it over again. It became a constant background noise for a period of my life. Alas, it was so long ago that watching it now would probably seem almost new to me but back then, it was my jam!
Ninja Scroll will come out November 25th. Pre-orders are available here with an instant download granted after purchase. Additionally, copies will be made available at MondoCon, which takes the place the weekend of October 21st in Austin, TX.
Ninja Scroll vinyl details:
– The artwork of the LP has been designed by famed Japanese illustrator Yuji Kaida (very famous for his illustrations of Godzilla)
– The 180gm LP is pressed on red vinyl with black streaks.
– 500 units only.
– Original score by Kaoru Wada
A bedtime lullaby soothes an unsettling newborn in our exclusive clip from Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
The dark fable makes its debut on Shudder on July 31.
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star as new parents in Nightborn, and this exclusive clip highlights mom’s harrowing transition into motherhood.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson also star.
Bergholm teased of her maternal horror movie, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
