Here's a "Nightchillers" little 5-song bundle for you kiddies


Here's a "Nightchillers" little 5-song bundle for you kiddies ... containing:

• The 1979 theme from the "Salem's Lot" TV Mini-series masterpiece (done by The London Theatre Orchestra - *original score by Harry Sukman)

• "The Howling II" (also done by The London Theatre Orchestra) - you know where Sybil Danning is ripping her shirt off, torpedoing out her mammories, repeatedly edited over & over in the film's end credits for young 80's boys like myself

• "The Hardy Boys-Nancy Drew Mysteries" TV series (1977-1979) theme (Stewart Phillips) - I loved this show as a kid and the opening & this theme always entralled me at the start of each new episode (this theme reminds me symphonically of the "Salem's Lot" theme)

• "Too Bad You're Crazy" (Charles Bernstein) from the end credits of one of my favorite 80's horror films "April Fool's Day". I got this from another music share blog and can't remember which one right now

• "The Sacrifice" (Jonathan Elias *composer of the "Vamp" score) - I recorded this nice "Miami Viceish" tune from the beginning of a "Tales From The Crypt" episode called "The Sacrifice" so that's what I named the song

There we go. I hope you all enjoy these 5 rare and obscure songs folks, and that they make a nice little package to tide you over. Take care.

"Modern Problems" for Chevy Chase in 1981





Hi everyone! Here is finally Nightchillers Rare Music's first posted share link of some OOP music. This is the theme song for the 1981 film "Modern Problems" starring Chevy Chase. I saw this flick in the theatre with my parents when it came out. My parents always took me and my big brother to many Rated R films (although this film is PG) when I was born in the 70's right outta the gate. I just thought I'd mention that but more on it in later posts. Don't let anyone tell you this movie misses the mark, just rent it, enjoy it and have fun - it's classic! I just watched it for the 1st time in years about a month & 1/2 ago and when I heard the theme song I remembered it and that I had always liked it. I thought it might be just a studio-musician track and then found it to be by The Tubes. I have since bought 3 Tubes cds (anyone remember the cool song & video of "She's A Beauty" from 1983?) and I'm stoked on the band. Anyway, this song "Gonna Get It Next Time" was only released on a rare comp. called "Premium Gold" which is OOP and impossible to find so I ripped it from the DVD. This is one of the songs which displays the tight musicianship of the band and their creative grooves & stellar vocals - The Tubes tear it up! The link is embedded in the left pic above. Enjoy!
BE SURE TO CHECK BACK SOON FOR ANOTHER NEW RARE MUSIC POST!
