Reviewed by Scott - Grade: B Collector's must have for the movie that started it all!
In 1967 George A. Romero created an entire genre of cinema the likes of which had never been seen before. The recent dead rising from their graves to feed on the flesh of the living. Night of the Living Dead! Due to the low budget of the film ($100k) Romero could not afford a composer and orchestra to score the film. Instead, he relied heavily upon stock music from the Capitol Hi-Q library series. For years fans of the film have demanded a release of the soundtrack to the film (ok well that is not entirely true) but a lot of folks have been wondering why there was never a release. Finally, pulled together and remastered from the original Hi-Q library recordings are all of the same stock music that Romero used in the film. The quality of the music is very good, the packaging is quite unique, and the CD booklet contains a very detailed and interesting history of the music from the film and how Romero and his team utilized it. The booklet also includes a brief history on each track included on the CD and origins and use in other horror films from the previous decade. The music is actually quite pleasant to listen to, with various mixes of strings that come and go as tension mounts. There are stingers, dramatic themes, heavy eerie echoes that reverberate and wobble, and brass explosions of terror with hits of trumpets mixed in. You can't help but feel you are listening to cheesy 50's horror music, but that is exactly what it is. The difference is that your mind invokes imagery from the film and that makes it an entirely different listening experience. If anything, Eerie Heavy Echo (L-1204) from the film's opening credits makes the soundtrack worth the purchase alone. Who would have thought that stock music that was used in countles late night drive in horror and B-grade flicks would make its way into a cult classic? Who knew that one day I would buy this soundtrack? Who knew that you would be reading this review so close to Halloween? More Movie Soundtracks
