THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (1985) - complete soundtrack

REDUX TIME: Here it is....the expanded version of the soundtrack, with Brad Fiedel's complete score and all the songs! A couple of modifications to the tracks have been made: I excluded the Phil Phillips version of "Sea of Love", because after listening very carefully to the movie again a few nights ago, I determined that version of the song is not in the movie...the remake by Del Shannon is (the character of Sandy even makes a comment about it being a remake), and I realized that the two tracks "Vampire Dentist" and "On The Rooftop" never should have been split apart in the first place because the music for those two scenes is a continuous piece...it goes back and forth between the two, so in this modified version it's a single track. The additional score tracks by Brad Fiedel were gotten from the original Vidmark Video VHS release, which actually had an isolated music & effects track (dialogue was on the left channel of the HiFi sound, and the music/effects were on the right channel), and there are some sound effects which I don't think are all that intrusive....and now you get more of Fiedel's score. You can read the complete track listings by clicking the back cover image above. Link is in the comment area.

ADDITION: A rare, brief promo spot for the film is at the bottom of this post. It features the Wilson Pickett tune "In The Midnight Hour".
Originally ripped and posted by the Soundtrack Rarities blog, here's the first-ever soundtrack for the cult tv movie from 1985.

"What's New, Scooby-Doo?" - new version by Anarbor

(You can click on the screen grabs collage above to view the larger version!)
Anarbor's new version of the theme song from "What's New, Scooby-Doo?", heard right before the end credits of "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins", with the accompanying film clips presented as a live-action version of a combination of the opening credits from the animated series "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" and "What's New, Scooby-Doo?". Rather like an unofficial music video for the song!

LOVE AT FIRST BITE (1979) - The original disco scene

The DVD release shamefully didn't include the original disco scene with the song "I Love The Nightlife"...but here it is in widescreen. The song was replaced with another (later) song titled "The Man I Love", but the Alicia Bridges classic "I Love The Nightlife" NEEDS to be part of that scene, so here it is as it should have been on the DVD.

"Blood...errr, MILK. It Does A Body Good!"

Just an amusing photo of Bela Lugosi I ran across...either a spookshow shot, or (based on the poster in the background) from a showing of "House of Wax" in 1953.
