The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 O.S.T.


Here is another helping of 'Saw soundtrack for you all today, with the soundtrack to Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. I personally love this movie. It's fun, fast paced, features great gore fx by Tom (The Master) Savini, and the acting in it is top notch. I mean, c'mon, you got Jim Siedow reprising his role as "The Cook" from the first film, and we get introduced to Leatherface's other brother, the great, maniacal Chop Top, played with gusto by Bill Moseley. And don't forget Dennis Hopper in one of his more gonzo performance as Texas Ranger Lefty Enright, who's been tracking the Sawyer family for the 14 years since the original film. Also, on the dvd copy of this i have, there are deleted scenes including a yuppie massacre, and a great scene involving Joe Bob Briggs telling two women about the magic of hollywood effects. All in all, a great movie, with a great, very 80's soundtrack. I searched high and low for this for years, thanks to the magic of torrents I can share it with you all now. Bands featured on this soundtrack include The Cramps, Lords Of The New Church, Oingo Boingo, Concrete Blonde, and more. Dog will hunt!

Leatherface - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III O.S.T.


Here is the soundtrack to the universally maligned 2nd sequel to Tobe Hoopers 1974 classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre, "Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre III". This movie tanked at the box office when it came out, mostly due to the lackeys at New Line Cinema heavily editing this movie because it was "too violent". In the words of Chas Balun, it's supposed to be a fuckin' massacre, not a picnic! Anyways, this movie deserves to be seen, as it is WAY better than these jackshit remakes they've been doing. The script for this was by splatterpunk author David Schow, writer of "The Kill Riff" and the great short story "Jerry's Kids Meet Wormboy" from the excellent zombie anthology "Book Of The Dead", also the screenwriter for "The Crow" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning"(which I confess to not having seen, even though I am a fan of Schow, not a fan of remakes). It was directed by Jeff Burr, who also did the under-seen and under-appreciated Vincent Price movie "The Offspring". And did I mention it stars Ken Foree (Dawn Of The Dead, From Beyond, Devil's Rejects) and a young Viggo Mortenson (Lord Of The Rings, A History Of Violence)?

Anyways, back to Leatherface and this soundtrack. I searched high and low for this and could never find it until now. It is predominantly a metal soundtrack, featuring tracks from Laaz Rockit, Sacred Reich, Wasted Youth (L.A.'s Wasted Youth?), Death Angel, and more.
