Phenomena - O.S.T.

Here is the soundtrack to Dario Argento's 1984 film, Phenomena, starring Jennifer Connelly and the late, great Donald Pleasance. It also features Michaele Soavi, thousands of insects, a pit of decomposing body parts, and a trained chimpanzee with a straight razor. So, in other words, it's a masterpiece. The soundtrack is equally awesome, with a score by Claudio Simonetti and tracks from Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Andi Sex Gang, and more.

here is the video for the theme, performed by Simonetti, video directed by Dario Argento. It was nicely added to my dub vhs of this fine film.

Mother Of Tears OST - Claudio Simonetti

Well, my friends, it's still a few weeks away from Halloween, but here at Scummified, we aim to make Halloween an all month thing, so I'm starting the festivities a little early. Here is Claudio Simonetti's (he of Goblin fame) score to Dario Argento's final part of his "Three Mothers" trilogy, The Mother Of Tears (or "La Terza Madre" as it's known in Italy). The score is classic Simonetti, full of keys, chants, and more scary stuff going on. The movie is good, but not as good as the first parts, the classic "Suspiria" and "Inferno". Yeah, it's gory and fast paced, and better than a lot of other horror movies being released these days, but it just doesn't compare to his other works. Anyways, the score is great, so check it out!

Suspiria

Back to the soundtracks, and this one surely needs no introduction. Goblin's magnificent score to Dario Argento's masterpiece of horror, Suspiria. On the 25th Anniversary DVD of Suspiria the members of Goblin themselves state that this score is Goblin at its purest and most realized essence, and you would be hard pressed to deny that.

Tenebre

Tenebre, also called "Unsane" in the U.S. during its initial release, is a 1982 film directed by Dario Argento, starring Anthony Franciosa, Daria Nicolodi, and the almighty John Saxon. It tells the story of a novelist who comes to Rome to promote his newest novel when a series of murders take place that are very reminiscent of the murders in his book. It is, above all else, classic Argento. Bloody, twisty, and has a great, perfect horror film ending.

This soundtrack is by Goblin, but is officially credited to Simonetti, Morante, & Pignatelli, who are considered 3 of the "founding fathers" of Goblin anyways. I think this soundtrack is excellent. some people prefer the classic Goblin sound (deep red, suspiria[coming soon!]), but this is also just as good. i mean, c'mon, it's fucking Goblin.

Demons

Here is the soundtrack to Lamberto Bava's 1985 splatterfest DEMONS. Demons is to me one of the perfect party movies. Some parts of it defy all known conventional logic, but thats okay because it is total non-stop carnage propelled by a soundtrack that is equal parts Claudio Simonetti (of Goblin fame) electronic score and equal parts 80's heavy metal and "new wave". Bands included on this soundtrack, in case you didn't know, are Motley Crue, Accept, Saxon, Scorpions, Pretty Maids, Rick Springfield, Billy Idol, Go West, and The Adventures.

Deep Red/Profondo Rosso

Here is Goblin's soundtrack to Dario Argento's 1975 giallo Profondo Rosso, aka Deep Red, aka Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders. I love this movie, and i LOVE their score. the first exposure to deep red i ever had was through an old vhs version that had 26 minutes cut out of the film...i enjoyed it, and thought the soundtrack was awesome, but this is a movie you should watch uncut if you haven't already seen it. if you have never listened to goblin in your life, this is the perfect beginning spot.

edit 3/13/11: received an email saying that mediafire deleted this file. c'mon goblin, why you gotta keep making us take your beautiful music out of people's hands?
