Mondo Announces ‘Army Of Darkness’ Vinyl Soundtrack
Mondo has announced that they will be previewing their vinyl soundtrack of Army Of Darkness at this year’s MondoCon, which takes place October 3rd and 4th in Austin, TX. The music was composed by Joseph LoDuca with the additional piece “March Of The Dead Theme”, which was composed by genre fave Danny Elfman. Details on the release can be found below.
This is a really incredible release, in my opinion. Elfman’s “March Of The Dead” is a fantastically playful piece that sets up the film wonderfully while LoDuca is a criminally underappreciated composer who is the backbone of the Evil Dead series, as well as being the sonic mastermind behind “Spartacus“, My Name Is Bruce, and the wonderful Brotherhood of the Wolf.
I own several Mondo records and their quality is pristine. I can’t recommend picking this up highly enough to any fan of the film or avid soundtrack collector, such as myself.
MondoCon will host some fantastic events, such as “The Art of Toys and Collectibles”, “William Stout Career Retrospective”, a “Soundtrack Panel” with Spencer Hickman (Mondo record label manager) and & production manager Mo Shafeek, and a great deal more.

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.
