Rabid Dogs

A little Mario Bava movie I discovered only about year or so ago and it knocked my shit upside down! I think i've seen the movie a dozen of times since. Everything is just perfect about this one. Ultra grim and unsettling euro exploitation. Instead of attempting to write a pointless essay that would go nowhere, i'll just post the trailer and link to the amazing score by Stelvio Cipriani instead.

Some random tracks...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. A good score is what makes a movie for atleast 60%. The reason why George Romero's last three Dead films won't have a rabid following as his three 'DEAD' classics is because of the shit 'horror movie music' is Land, Diary and from the clip i've seen recently, his new one too. Don't get me wrong, I won't ever talk shit on George Romero, in a perfect world, we'd be best friends.

Anyways, I've uploaded a few theme songs and movie music from the golden age of cinema, the 70's and early 80's. Some Italian stuff, some American. Some tracks come straight of a vhs tape, but the quality is fine! A few come from compilations I found on such terrific blogs as The Green Inferno.

Go get em, these are some good ones!

If you're lying, I'll be back


Two personal favorites of mine. First up, the notorious early 80's vigilante sleaze fest, "The Exterminator". Couple of great songs in this one. The opening song "Heal it" by Roger Bowling, ofcourse, "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps and "Theme for an American Hero" by Chip Taylor.
I can't say i'm a big disco fan, but they work great in movies like this. To grab the three songs, scroll down.

Second one, it's kinda like The Exterminator meets Maniac. Another great Exploitation/horror movie that got it's well deserved attention in the "Nightmare USA" book. Don't Go in the House. So far I found three of the disco tunes. Boogie Lightning by L'Electrique ( the movie version and a longer version) and Late Night Surrender by Jeree Palmer.

Hey, don't give me any shit!



Ah...The wonderfullworld of 'Ozploitation'. Getting alot of well deserved attention after the release of Mark Hartley's fantastic documentary 'Not Quite Hollywood'.

This one right here is probably one of the very best coming from down under. Directed by Brian Trenchard Smith with an all star cast including George Lazenby, Jimmy Wang Yu, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Roger Ward, Ros Spiers and special appearances by the stunmen, ofcourse, Grant Page, Max Aspin and Peter Armstrong. Anyways, if you read this far, you probably know all about the movie and it's really amazing score by Noel Quinlan and don't forget the hit theme song "Sky High" by Jigsaw. The highlight, at least for me is a tune called 'A man is a Man is Man'. It took me a long time to finally track this one down.

Here's two tracks of the record, to get the complete score...click the link below.

Gone in 60 Seconds


I almost weeped when I heard of the remake and turned it of five minutes in. I felt even worse after buying the re-mastered release of the original. What happened to the original tunes? The Phil Kachaturian songs that were perfect in H.B Halicki's classic, the mother of all car chase movies, Gone in 60 Seconds. I better hold on to my old ex rental tapes. Anyways, here is the tracklist of the original songs. To get em, click the link below.

1-Big Town, Big City (New Version)
2-Big Town, Big City (Movie Version)
3-Charriot Ride
4-Gone in 60 Seconds
5-Hope the Man Doesn't Catch Me
6-Lois Lane Blues
