Paul Zaza - Curtains


In my long stretch of non-posting, something pretty awesome turned up on The Terror Trap. Hidden in a 2 page Paul Zaza interview is the complete soundtrack from the 1983 Canadian classic Curtains. It can be found on the right side here. It's only streaming audio, but that can be easily saved if you've got IDM, or any other streaming audio downloading program.

Tracklist:
  1. Audra
  2. Skate...For Your Life
  3. Amanda's Nightmare
  4. Voices in Snow
  5. Christie & The Doll
  6. Stryker's Studio
  7. Echoes
  8. The Hag, Unmasked?
  9. Caught
  10. Cold and Unknown
  11. The Prophouse/The Revelation

Curtains, which I actually watched for the first time today, is a pretty great slasher featuring John Vernon and Lynne Griffin. As a massive fan of both Strange Brew and Black Christmas I got a tremendous kick out of seeing Lynne here. Despite Curtains having some great stalking/death sequences and very solid acting and some nice twists along the way it's one of the few remaining quality early 80s slashers that's missing even a decent DVD release. It has been put out on DVD but apparently with a VHS transfer along with 3 shit recent movies nobody has ever heard of on a DVD set called The Midnight Horror Collection: Bloody Slashers. I've heard people have found that DVD at Wal-Mart in the dreaded $5 bin, but not me. I can't look through that thing for more than 2 minutes before I've knocked 4 copies of Howard the Duck on the floor or having some dude wander over and start throwing titles I've already looked at back to my side of the bin. It's a nightmare, and hardly worth the effort. Now if Synapse could go ahead and put this bastard out on a nicely loaded Blu-ray like The Dorm That Dripped Blood, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Anyway, if you go through the interview on this page there is also music from My Bloody Valentine, Murder by Decree, Prom Night 1, 3, and 4.

    I really miss your compilations. I was wondering if you could maybe do a summer compilation before summers over? Love the site, keep up the great work!!

  4. They need two (or more) thirty-gallon trash cans at Wal-Mart... then you can dump DVDs you've already checked into the "empty". Of course, with the infamous Wal-Mart mentality, they'd just fill them ALL to overflowing!

  5. Just discovered your wonderful site whilst attempting to source some Bava scores by Piero Umiliani and Carlo Rustichelli. So glad I stumbled across it! Many thanks for sharing all this wonderful music. Keep up the good work. :)
