Daily Jam (October Edition) - A Nightmare on Elm Street (Main Title)

Aside from the obvious John Williams stuff like "Jaws" or "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones," Charles Bernstein's electronic score for "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is the first soundtrack i remember being really taken with.  It's just so creepy and effective, and that main little melody stays in subconscious, just waiting for you to go to sleep...and dream.  Check out the main title below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - A Nightmare on My Street

There was a brief period of time in the late '80s when "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and Freddy Krueger were such a cultural force, that they permeated pretty much everything from TV to toys and lunch boxes.  Old school hip-hop got in the game as well, and i can't help but love it, whether it's The Fat Boys providing a tune for Part 4 or The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff just riffing on the concept.  I ate this stuff up in grade school.  Anyway, here' the latter's "A Nightmare on My Street," our Daily Jam.

Box of Souls: A Nightmare on Elm Street Collection

So, this is pretty amazing.  Mondo/Death Waltz has been working on this release for well over a year, and now it's finally complete...the 8LP "Box of Souls: A Nightmare on Elm Street Collection," featuring the scores to the first 7 Elm Street films.  Featuring work from Charles Bernstein, Christopher Young, Angelo Badalamenti, and more, this fantastic looking box set looks to be perfect for horror hounds and film score connoisseurs alike.  It goes on sale today, and if i had an extra $250 hanging around, i'd totally order it.  Maybe you do have an extra $250 hanging around, so maybe you do order it.  Maybe you have an extra $500 on you.  Maybe you order two.  Maybe you give one to me.  I don't know, i'm just spit-balling here.  Anyway, get it here and listen to "Prologue/Main Title" from the Bernstein's original film score below.
