The ‘Gremlins’ LP Packaging Reacts to Water!
Mondo will be releasing a 2xLP edition of Jerry Goldsmith‘s score for the 1984 monster fantasy film Gremlins on Wednesday, November 30th. The really cool thing about the packaging is that the disc sleeves are meant to be wiped lightly with water as it will change the visuals! Furthermore, the gatefold is UV sensitive and will change when light is shone upon it. You can see before and after images below to see precisely what I mean.
Direct from Mondo:
The artwork by Phantom City Creative features a UV sensitive gatefold jacket that, when exposed to Daylight, reveals hidden messages. In addition, the disc sleeves are water sensitive, so additional images appear when they are exposed to a damp cloth.
I grew up watching both Gremlins films, so I have a special place in my heart for anything related to them. I can only hope that this release will inspire many parents to introduce their children to Gizmo and his terrifying offspring!
The 2xLP set will go for $35.
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+.
