Daily Jam (October Edition) - Laurie's Theme

It's not officially Halloween time until you listen to John Carpenter's score to his 1978 game changer.  Here's "Laurie's Theme," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Wait for the Rain

Here's a folk rock track from actor and musician David Hess, taken from the soundtrack to Wes Craven's "The Last House on the Left."  Like so many horror films of the '70s, the difference between the often gentle or beautiful music heard and the horrific, disturbing images seen on screen is quite jarring.  Listen to "Wait for the Rain" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Trick or Treat

On Friday, there's going to be a screening of the goofy 1986 heavy metal horror movie "Trick or Treat" near by, and i want to go.  Extenuating circumstances may make it that i'm going solo, but it's probably worth it, right?  Anyhoo, here's a track from the soundtrack by Fastway.  Listen to "Trick or Treat" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Children of the Grave

Here's White Zombie covering Black Sabbath.  Because it's Halloween time.  Listen to "Children of the Grave" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Our Darkest Sabbath

Man, i sure do miss Broadcast.  I consider myself extremely fortunate that i was able to see them perform about a year or so before Trish died.  Here's a selection from the band's eerie score to the Peter Strickland film "Berberian Sound Studio."  Listen to "Our Darkest Sabbath" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - "E.S.P." Theme for Shock Theater

Here's some bluesy novelty pop rock from The Weirdos.  Recorded for KTLA TV in Los Angeles in the early '60s, listen to "E.S.P. Theme for Shock Theater" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Red Moon

It's Halloween season, and you know what that means.  It's time for some dark Pagan folk, this time around from Czech project Nemuer.  Prepare for harvest and listen to "Red Moon" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - This Is Halloween

The last few years, we've taken the boys to Fiesta Texas in San Antonio in October for their annual Fright Fest.  It's a lot of fun.  At dusk, the train arrives in one corner of the park, full of freaks and monsters who then run rampant through areas around the park.  And the arrival is soundtracked with Marilyn Manson's cover of "This Is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas."  It works remarkably well and stays in my head for days afterwards.  Now it can be in yours.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Maniac's Theme (Main Titles)

I feel like it's been awhile since i last watched Willian Lustig's "Maniac."  Probably need to remedy during this Halloween season.  Let's get started with some of Jay Chattaway's score to the film.  Listen to the eerie "Maniac's Theme (Main Titles)" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Necronomania

Here's some sexy, jazzy psychedelia from Manfred Hubler's and Siegfried Schwab's score to Jesus Franco's 1971 film "Vampyros Lesbos."  Listen to "Necronomania" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Doctor Spook

As an avid collector or vinyl, i have no explanation for why i don't have a record from Frankie Stein and His Ghouls amongst my collection.  They dropped five fun albums of spooky novelty surf rock back in the '60s.  Maybe i can remedy the situation this weekend at the Austin Record Convention.  Fingers crossed.  In the meantime, here's "Doctor Spook," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Devil Driver's Theme

Here's some haunted hotrod music from '60s surf rock band The Vettes.  Listen to "Devil Driver's Theme" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Demons

Gothy chanteuse Chelsea Wolfe released a new album a few weeks back.  Here's a track from one of her earlier efforts.  Listen to "Demons" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - The Calling / Main Title

Every fall i try to not let football ruin my day...and every fall i fail.  It must be nice to be one of those people with a team that wins...or even better, one of those people that doesn't care it all.  You guys got it down.  Anyway, here's something that never lets me down: horror.  Movies or music, it's just the best.  Here's a track from composer Donald Rubinstein's score to the George Romero vampire movie "Martin."  Listen to "The Calling / Main Title" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Lipstick to Void

Here's an eerie, droning selection from Mica Levi's otherworldly score to Jonathan Glazer's 2013 film "Under the Skin."  Seriously, this music can haunt your dreams.  Check out "Lipstick to Void" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Monster Surfing Time

Time for some more spooky season surf rock, this time around from the 1964 album "It's Monster Surfing Time" from Deadly Ones.  Listen to "Monster Surfing Time" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Devil's Plaything

It's not the Halloween season without some Danzig.  Here's a track from the band's second album.  Listen to "Devil's Plaything" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Crucified Woman

One of my favorite things about Italian horror movies, cannibal flicks in particular, is how gorgeous the soundtracks are despite the repulsive or gruesome nature of the films they are scoring.  Composer Riz Ortolani's soundtrack to "Cannibal Holocaust" is probably the best example of this.  Blood and guts, cannibalism, rape, torture, racism, colonialism, animal cruelty...all set to the lush and beautiful sounds composed and conducted by Maestro Ortolani.  Listen to "Crucified Woman" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Verso L'Ignoto

And now for a selection of music from one of my favorite horror movies, Lucio Fulci's "The Beyond."  Listen to composer Fabio Frizzi's eerie and ominous "Verso L'Ignoto" below, our Daily Jam.
