Constructing Terror: John Carpenter and the History of Horror Soundtracks (Episode 61)

Today, we are exploring the depths of a genre that can be both
ghoulishly fun, menacing, and shocking all within the same side of
a record. The twists and turns that composers use to enthrall the
audience and make their collective flesh crawl.  The
orchestral equivalents of Vincent Price whispering sweet nothings
into your ear. A left out style of music that has made itself

own medium. Today, we examine the history of the horror movie
soundtrack and its recent unholy alliance with the vinyl
record.  Highway Hi-Fi is a proud member of the Pantheon Music
