Synth Wizards OGRE and Dallas Campbell Release Original Score for Night of the Living Dead, and It’s Amazing
For the last couple of years there has been a fantastic resurgence of new retro-style synth music out there for those of us who love such things, from John Carpenter composing new music for non-existent movies to an entire wave of new artists who sound like they time-travelled here from 1986.
Today, OGRE and Dallas Campbell released a completely original score for the classic Night of the Living Dead, and it’s glorious. Ironically, when I say “completely original”, that’s not entirely accurate, as connoisseurs will immediately hear the influences of/homages to Fabio Frizzi (Zombie), Fred Myrow & Malcolm Seagrave (Phantasm), Goblin (Suspiria, et al), John Harrison (Creepshow) and, of course, Mr. John Carpenter. It’s a kick ass mashup of all the horror scores of yore, smartly executed and a real joy to listen to.
You can get the album (all 31 tracks!) as a digital download for a measly $10 via Lakeshore Records’ Bandcamp page at https://lakeshorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/night-of-the-living-dead-original-motion-picture-rescore.
The soundtrack will be hitting all other digital retailers on October 21st. For those of you who want the full cinematic experience, Lakeshore Records will be streaming the re-scored version of the movie on their Youtube Channel October 28th, just in time for Halloween!
Have a listen!

Vac-tastic Plastic – Gigantic Vintage Halloween Mask Wall Art!
Pumpkinrot posted about this a month ago, but I think it deserves a signal boost. From Retro-A-Go-Go:
Calling all monster fans! Get ready to shriek with pure joy! As you know, for too many years, there hasn’t been enough cool Halloween décor created specifically for us monster lovers. Retro-a-go-go! Product Developer, artist Doug P’gosh, set out to change exactly that — and he has in a big, big way!
Introducing the brand new & original Retro-a-go-go! product line called, Vac-tastic Plastic horror décor, exclusively yours from Retro-a-go-go!
Meet the first seven creeps in this new, Ghoulsville thrilling series. Each mask is thoughtfully inspired by our warm memories of costumes and playsuits of the 60’s-70’s. These masks and costumes were found at the local Five & Dime Stores. The plastic masks were our favorite part of those old vintage costumes.
We’ve blown our Vac-tastic Ghoulsville wall décor masks up to gigantic and monstrous proportions. Each fantastic mask towers just under 2 feet tall. Best part is, they’re created in the same spirit and material used for the much-loved vintage kid’s masks of yesteryear. Even the collector’s edition box, with the clear top, is an homage to the original window boxes. Whether you get your freak on by adding them to your boring walls or keep them mint in box and proudly displayed, there is nothing else like them anywhere! The word unusual doesn’t come close to their creeptastic awesomeness. Collect them all!
