Album Description

Presenting composer John Harrison's (DAY OF THE DEAD, TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE, EFFECTS) score to George A. Romero's (NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE DARK HALF) and Stephen King's (CARRIE, SALEM'S LOT, DREAMCATCHER, THE SHINING) timeless horror classic CREEPSHOW. This digitally re-mastered album features special, never-before-released BONUS TRACKS including Harrison's music from the famed George A. Romero television series TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE, a never-before-heard overture Harrison composed for MANSIONS OF THE MOON (an unproduced sci-fi version of the Opera TALES OF HOFFMAN), and two songs from an outrageous send up of 1950's musicals and Horror Films called SHOOBIE DOOBIE MOON -- both Romero projects that were never filmed!!! The 12-Page, full color, comic book style booklet includes exclusive liner notes from the composer and director, along with an in-depth essay on the making of all the projects by Film Music Historian Randall D. Larson!

A little messy.......2006-08-06

While I'm certainly glad this soundtrack is finally available for fans of CREEPSHOW, George Romero and Stephen King, I'm a little disappointed at the way it seems to be thrown together. Basically all the music for each of the individual stories in CREEPSHOW have been mashed together into its own track. So, music cues fade in and out of each other instead allowing one to fully appreciate each cues on its own merit. The track for "Something To Tide You Over" doesn't even have the music in the right order, and it's a very strange flow. And the track for "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill" is truncated, missing some of the creepier music from that particular story. The additional/bonus music from other productions included here are not very fitting with "Sorry, Right Number" perhaps being the only exception.

Despite the criticism I am glad to have added this to my soundtrack collection. I do like the sound f/x from the movie that are mixed in with the music cues, and I will especially especially enjoy this CD every October from now until who knows when.

Effective and atmospheric.......2005-10-07

Good soundtrack to a classic 80s film, though not as accomplished as his DAY OF THE DEAD effort.

There is a boo boo on this cd!.......2005-07-22

I agree with every one here about how great the album is. I still own the original lp and just got the cd. There is one thing that they didn't know is that the cd has a error made by the label LA LA LAND Records. The music for the segment of THE CRATE is actually 13 mins long. If those of you still have the original lp like I do, you will see what I'm talking about. On the cd tracks 5 and 6 are The Crate. Add both tracks 5 and 6's time frame up and you will get 13:04 like The Crate is on the lp.

I don't know why they divided the track into two and messed up the line up on the insert? The lp's last track is titled Epilogue/Until The Next Time (End Title), the cd has the title separated, like one track says Epilogue and the next one says Until The Next Time (End Title). There is really only 13 tracks, if you look at by the error for The Crate being split into two. Track 7 is really They're Creeping Up On You and track 8 is really Epilogue/Until The Next Time(End Title).

An interesting soundtrack for an interesting movie........2005-07-06

Creepshow was probably, and still is, one of the most entertaining horror movies to ever be committed to celluloid. Its humor, terror, and acting is spot on, and it is my all-time favorite movie ever. I saw it when I was only two years old, and it left an everlasting impression.

Imagine the joy I felt when, at four years of age, I found the soundtrack on vinyl at a mom-and-pop record store. I hurried home with my parents and threw the record in the turntable. I started it up, then promptly turned it off, screaming. All I could hear was Warner Shook screaming about his father's day cake, and that scared the stuffing out of me. Fast forward ten years, and I find it again in my collection. I throw it on and enjoy the soothing synth-strings and dulcet piano tones that I couldn't listen to before.

Now, the reason I subjected you to this story is that I needed you to know how much this CD means to me. It brings back a time when I was able to get scared by a movie. The soundtrack, composed entirely on two grand pianos and a Prophet V synthesizer, is incredibly evocative of a horror movie, but could easily be mistaken as a classical composition of the highest degree. The furious cacaphony of "The Crate" which threatens to boil over to a screaming head, to the quiet buildup of "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill", in which space sounds take place besides a low rumble of a piano, are all integral parts of this CD, and I would recommend it to anyone... Anyone.

Finally Its here!!!.......2004-08-18

I have waited for years for this soundtrack to come out and its every bit as exciting and enjoyable as I would have imagined. It keeps perfect pace with the storys in the film and reminds you of all those funny and scary moments.

Having said that, since I am bias toward this soundtrack and think its the greatest thing since sliced bread, (well pretty close,) my problem with it is the fact that several portions of the small bits of music used in the film were left out. I.E. any classical music or odd sounding small pieces of music used to give a certain mood. I felt these could have been spliced into the individual tracks. However having thought about it later on I realize that the producer of this soundtrack might not have gotten the rights to put out a record with ALL the music from the cd, as is the case in my film soundtracks. I certainly thought the rest of this album past the first eight tracks were nothing exciting but I am sure if I was sentenced to prison I could let them grow on me. If you are a big Creepshow fan this cd is a must for you, stop second guessing yourself, do ya self a fava go out buy this record and enjoy ya ya !
