Joseph Bishara’s Score For ‘V/H/S: Viral’ Segment ‘Gorgeous Vortex’ Available Now
Joseph Bishara is fast becoming one of my favorite composers in the horror world. The man behind the music of Insidious, Dark Skies, The Conjuring, and more, he has this incredible style where you can hear the influences of his predecessors, such as John Carpenter, Akira Yamaoka, Bernard Herrmann, Krzysztof Penderecki, and more, but he takes those stylistic tastes and compiles them into something entirely unique and, oftentimes, absolutely terrifying.
Now, you can grab Bishara’s score to Todd Lincoln’s V/H/S: Viral segment “Gorgeous Vortex”, which will appear on the V/H/S: Viral home video release (from what I’m told, this is a very special and unique surprise). It’s available in vinyl and digital formats, including FLAC and WAV, via Void Recordings. Personally, I recommend the vinyl as it’s beautifully packaged and sounds absolutely wonderful.
The score is a perfect example of what I was talking about above, the influences noticeable but still done in such a fascinating and incredibly eerie way. As I listened to it, I was suddenly overcome by this inescapable feeling that Bishara would be a brilliant if given the opportunity to helm the music of Silent Hills.
Below is a stream of the track “Legs”, which I envision as being the mournful dirge of those terrifying ghost women from Insidious. You know who I’m talking about, right? The ones that weren’t there one second and then suddenly were with their freaky ass smiles? Ugh…
The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
