Horror Monster Smash Hits: The Final CD



Horror Monster Smash Hits: The Final CD aka Part IV

01 - The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman
from Halloween II, hey Laurie, maybe he's not a dream, but Mister Sandman sent one hell of a nightmare of big brother

02 - Little Shop Of Horrors - Little Shop of Horrors
from Little Shop of Horrors, the second greatest horror musical, and the hint of some future tv stars in Chiffon and Ronnette, priceless

03 - Blondie - Rip Her to Shreds
in my mind, this track should be used on a slasher scene, or can be used in a montage... really

04 - Alaska y Dinarama - Vampirela
an homage to the most sexy female vampire ever, even as a cartoon, she's beautiful and will awake the joy of blood in yourself

05 - Mecano - No Es Serio Este Cementerio
a cemetery where the dead wake up at night to enjoy their last resting place, the video made specially for the Mexican market is a grim perfection for its time

06 - Sinead O'Connor - I Want Your (Hands On Me)
from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Debbie's choice of workout tune, and the last before she's turned into a roach by Freddy

07 - Hole - Violet
from Jennifer's Body, once again way before any horror usage, the single cover artwork, and the vintage burlesque of the video, scream for the use in an horror film

08 - PJ Harvey - Hardly Wait
not in an horror film (avoiding that film reference since this is a 100% clam free blog), a song with a corpse wondering why it hasn't happen... you know, the so-called afterlife

09 - Liz Phair - Flower
I will say it out loud, one of my dreams is to direct the film adaptation of Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls, and I would replace Robert Smith poster and the Bauhaus track in the oral scene, with Liz and the perfect song for the soundtrack

10 - Tori Amos - Father Lucifer
you've guessed it, this CD is more like a compilation for a personal soundtrack, but if the track is about a trip or a fearful parent, a montage with scenes of The Omen, The Bad Seed and Rosemary's Baby would be great

11 - Radiohead - Paranoid Android
a quite fantastic and groundbreaking video, with a concept full of gore that could inspire an animated short or future to expand the story

12 - Veruca Salt - Born Entertainer
the opening track for the soundtrack of a project of mine

13 - Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country
also for Lost Souls, during the road scenes for Zillah, Twig & Molochai

14 - Peaches featuring Iggy Pop - Kick It
have you seen the video? do you really need an explanation? I thought it was part of Zack Snyder's Dawn of The Dead soundtrack

15 - Kristeenyoung - Skeletons
from the Music From The Succubus Club (Vampire: The Masquerade) soundtrack, well that album included Rotting on The Vine, a different mix of the track

16 - The Dresden Dolls - Slide
a masterpiece about the real bogeymen in the world, one part Freddy Krueger and three parts Vince, the guy from Identity

17 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Phenomena
from The Ruins, an amazing song with the right touch for the closing credits of this film

18 - Goldfrapp - Slippage
OK, if you haven't heard this song do it and tell me how much it sounds like the A Nightmare on Elm Street score

19 - Camille Jones - The Creeps
The Creeps can be an analogy of too many things, so please Victor Salva, if Jeepers Creepers 3 is ever made, use this track

20 - Dangerous Muse - Everyday Is Halloween (Extended Version)
Mike Furey, you're a God!!! your voice makes this song a very... but talking about horror, amazing track for any upcoming Halloween themed film with a party scene

21 - The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Double Feature (Reprise)
from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the perfect closure for the collection
