Richard Band - Castle Freak (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2020

Tracks list

Castle Freak was scored by Richard Band, who worked with Full Moon Entertainment
as part of the family venture. Richard had worked on most of the studios movies
plus most of other Stuart Gordon / H.P. Lovecraft films like Re-Animator, From
Beyond or the directors Poe adaptation, The Pit and the Pendulum, not to mention
Dan OBannons The Resurrected. Bands best-known work may be the Psycho-influenced
underscore to Gordons Re-Animator, but he also worked on over 95 feature films
(including cult titles like Metalstorm and Mutant) and contributed music to such
franchises as the Puppet Master series (also available from Perseverance) as
well as the Masters of Horror series for which he received an Emmy nomination.
The composers music is generally characterized by inventive and colorful
solutions realized in a cost-efficient manner - but Bands true talent of
creating unique atmospheres is perhaps most evident in his Castle Freak score.
The energetic score to Castle Freak was first released when the film came out
and the same generous program has been recreated for this re-issue. While the
score may lack an easily hummable theme or cheeky quotations of more famous
horror classics, it shows that Richard Band can live up to the challenge of
scoring not only excess macabre, but also real human tragedies, both for the
Reillys and Giorgio. Its a small gem that deserves re-discovery alongside the
film it was written for.
