‘Burying The Ex’ Soundtrack Preview (Exclusive)
Next Friday, the Joe Dante-directed horror comedy Burying The Ex will be coming to home video and VOD. The “zomedy” stars Fright Night‘s Anton Yelchin, Texas Chainsaw 3D‘s Alexandra Daddario, and The Apparition‘s Ashley Greene.
Today, we’ve got a sampler of the soundtrack, which was composed by Joseph LoDuca, the man behind such horror classics as the Evil Dead trilogy, the upcoming STARZ series Ash Vs. Evil Dead, Curse Of Chucky, Boogeyman, Brotherhood Of The Wolf, and more.
LoDuca states:
As a composer who regularly gets invited along for the ride on horror projects, I can describe my experience on ‘Burying The Ex’ in two words: BIG FUN. No one does horror/comedy better than Joe Dante.
There were a few key steps I needed to dance along with this horror/comedy mash up. The first was to stay true to the grand history of genre music, while making the actual scares truly scary. Finally we needed a magical, seductive, doomed-love theme for our protagonists. What better than a Gypsy violin? This is highlighted wonderfully by Aaron Ashton’s virtuosic display on the Main Title. In the end, I hope you have as much fun watching and listening as I did making this music.
LoDuca also recently did an interview with FilmMusicMag that I highly recommend reading.
The soundtrack will be available digitally on Tuesday and on CD August 14, 2015 via Lakeshore Records.
The film’s synopsis reads:
A twenty-something’s romance with his dream girl takes an unexpected turn when his dead ex-girlfriend rises from the grave and thinks they’re still dating. Seamlessly merging classic horror with screwball comedy and a poignant romance, Burying the Ex is a radically unique spin on the zombie genre.

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]
Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.
Home Bodies makes its World Premiere July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance.
An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.
In the film, “Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.”
It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.
Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.
Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.
“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” said Walker. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.“
Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
