Watch your tongue, boy, if you like this job!

“Like this job?!”

ROTLD is probably the first obviously “meta” horror film I saw, beating Popcorn to the punch by a good few years. The sequel really kicked the reference-heavy stuff up a notch, repeating jokes and situations with the same actors, with the characters even lamenting a sense of fatal deja vu. It’s terrific viewing for the budding poststructuralist. O’Bannon really had a good run in the 70s and 80s.

I’d have used the 45 Grave song if started as it does in the film {Do ya wanna…}. The actual track doesn’t have anything near the impact as the version edited for the screen.

12 tracks now present and correct. We'll get another mixtape going soon but this should provide ample chills & entertainment in the meantime. Whoever put up the ROTLD main title, I salute you. Do ya wanna parrr-tayyy?!

navrag, nice choice - though due to a few deletions there is still one space left. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Tenacious, Lovely stuff. We’re nearly there.

Embarr, Once you pin it on, it’ll never, ever, come off. Or maybe it will…

navrag, The vast majority of the tracks are “not-songs”! So add away.

Does it have to be a song? I think “The History of Hell House” from the soundtrack of the original (not the remake) “The Haunting” would be a definite addition…

Excellent choice, Tenacious.

I put up Yulunga from Dead Can Dance onto the mixed tape- not on a soundtrack but has a lovely dark feel to it that I find just a tad unsettling.

Yes. It’s both wicked (in the traditional sense) and wikkid (in the ’street’ sense). The former aspect is the one you have to watch out for…

Glad you’re enjoying the editing. Edit away, like a mad editing fool.

I used to (years ago) regularly hear the distant, melancholy strains of an ice-cream van from the bedroom I shared with my brother.

The main reason it was melancholy was that it only ever seemed to do its rounds in the middle of the night!

I never did get to see/find it. Probably for the best.

If I could record the sound of the ice-cream van that frequents my estate, I’d add that to the tape. Freaks me out every time.

David, Upload whatever you think is suitable. The choice is yours. The slots are filling fast so you’ll need to increase the ferocity of your brain-wracking!

That joke hurt my head.

I’ve been wracking my brain to find a track for the muxtape. So far all I’ve managed to come up with is Frank Zappa’s Central Scrutinizer…
