Adam Wingard’s ‘Blair Witch’ OST Released on Vinyl
While I personally didn’t think Blair Witch was a masterpiece of horror (check out my review), I did find a lot to enjoy in that film. One of the aspects that stood out to me was the sound design, where I wrote, “…The amount of work put into crafting a haunting and unsettling aural landscape is breathtaking and I could feel my ears standing on end trying to grasp every bit of sound offered.”
What some may not realize is that a lot of the sound design is actually the movie’s “soundtrack”, an industrial and ambient cacophony of noise and tension, all of which was composed by director Adam Wingard. And now that score is coming to vinyl, courtesy of Death Waltz Recording Co. and Lakeshore Records!
Already available for purchase, the record is pressed on 180 gram “black as night” vinyl and is packaged in a 425gsm sleeve. You can see the packaging, which is wonderfully constructed, below.
AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
