October 21

This franchise film series passed the baton to a new generation of victims led by the original killer's daughter and this album is by a band that was featured on one of their soundtracks.

Featured in the second movie of this series
Looking over the Scream Soundtracks the sweet spot seems to be the second movie.
 
October19These two bad ass women have spent decades kicking ass and taking names in each of their respective franchises. This album is by a woman who is as accomplished as they are but in music.

Two badass ladies. One the OG. One paying comedic homage. Both brilliant...

October20This genre defining 1999 horror film combined form and function to achieve its effect. This lo-fi album likewise would not have the same effect on the listener had it been heavily produced.

One of my fave lo-fi car crashes...

What is Magic Flowers Droned by Psychedelic Horseshit?

Psychedelic Horseshit - Magic Flowers Droned

At its best, NY&CH meets Suicide with zero budget and even less skill. At its worst, Sonic Youth members meet in preschool plus an organ. I'm cool either way...

This film franchise is about people trying to beat death's plan, like not getting smashed by a log flying off a truck. This album features a musician who beat death's plan at least once.

What is Final Destination?

Who is Nikki Sixx?

The boom boom remasters of these albums are fantastic.

What is The Blair Witch Project?

What is The Gerbils - Battle Of Electricity?

The last one I played before trying to sleep again (which so far just turned into me posting all these 🫤). Scotty Spillane is one of my all time favorite musicians. When he sings live it gets me to my bones.

There are only a handfull of words spoken in this alien invasion film, this album largely lacks vocals.

My wife finds this album unnerving and asked me if it was the soundtrack to a horror movie.
