Record Store Day: Five Exclusive Horror OSTs to Pick Up Tomorrow!
In 2022, there is only one Record Store Day, and it takes place tomorrow, April 23. The annual celebration of bands, beer, fun, and all things record store-related brings a slew of special vinyl releases, limited editions, and Record Store Day exclusives. That includes highly coveted OSTs for the horror fan.
The caveat to Record Store Day exclusives is that you cannot order them online; you physically must purchase in person and support your local participating record store.
Because there are hundreds of unique releases, we’ve narrowed them down to the horror movie-specific releases you won’t want to miss.
These five horror OSTs deliver the perfect blend of gorgeous limited vinyl with earworm music.
May – Jammes Luckett
Terror Vision brings not one but two RSD exclusives this year, and you won’t want to miss out on either. Luckett’s music comes packaged with liner notes by May director Lucky McKee and Luckett, with art by Vanessa McKee. It’s a stunner. Terror Vision will also offer LTD cassettes and submit their RSD releases online if and when available. Head to their site and sign up for their mailing list to get notified.
Strange Behavior – Tangerine Dream
Two words: Tangerine Dream. The first-ever release of this legendary Tangerine Dream score from 1981, also known as Dead Kids. It’s never been available in any format until now! As with May, Terror Vision will also offer LTD cassettes and offer their RSD releases online if and when available. Head to their site and sign up for their mailing list to get notified.
Dead by Daylight V2 – Michel F April
The second volume soundtrack to the popular multiplayer survival horror game becomes available in limited edition vinyl format. It makes sense, considering the first volume served as a 2021 RSD release—a special release for fans of the award-winning video game.
Blue Velvet – Angelo Badalamenti
The long available single LP has been expanded by 60 minutes to a 2 LP Deluxe Edition with the addition of the famous 1963 recording of “Blue Velvet,” performed by Bobby Vinton, and previously unreleased film cues, alternates, and outtakes entitled “Lumberton Firewood.” The liner notes by Tim Greiving include new interviews with David Lynch, Angelo Badalamenti, Kyle MacLachlan, and producer Fred Caruso. It’s all housed in gorgeous packaging with blue swirl vinyl.
Mimic – Marco Beltrami
Mimic is the second film composed by Marco Beltrami, fresh off scoring Scream. Available for the first time on vinyl, the soundtrack features new, original artwork and a triptych jacket design which displays the creature’s multiple faces—pressed on green vinyl.
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+.
