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.
