Free Halloween EP From Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia / Gorguts)

With Halloween only 4 hours away, I've stumbled upon a free Halloween EP from Kevin Hufnagel of Dysrhythmia (and the last two Gorguts albums) that some of you should enjoy. Kevin covers themes from two Horror classics and the world's creepiest real-life mystery show that is not a news broadcast. Listen here, or click the link to find a Name Your Price download button. $0.00 is technically a price, but maybe throw the guy a buck or two if you enjoy it.

Speaking of Unsolved Mysteries, I've been watching it on Amazon Prime a lot lately. Robert Stack was one spooky bastard, that dude used to really give me the willies when I was younger. Still does, but I think I was legitimately frightened by him when I a kid. But then, I was frightened by a lot of weird stuff as a kid - that Deee-Lite 'Grove is in the Heart' music video used to scare the absolute hell out of me and I have no idea why. I was a weird kid.

Anyone else hate when the show features the "long lost relative" stories? I didn't remember there being many of them, but it turns out I was incorrect. It seems like 25% of the mysteries involve some old guy who was orphaned 90 years ago finally reuniting with his sister a week before they both die of old age. I mean, that's nice and all (the reuniting, not my geriatric death joke), but I watch this show for creepy weird stories, not sappy Hallmark Channel nonsense like that.

Brad Fiedel - Fright Night II

Here's the soundtrack from Fright Night's frightful sequel Fright Night II. A film directed by Tommy Lee Wallace of Halloween III and IT fame (the clown movie, not the Information Technology industry). In addition to HIII, he also directed a sequel to another John Carpenter film, the Bon Jovian Tex Mex bloodsucker epic we like to call Vampires Los Muertos.

This unofficial (or "bootleg") soundtrack features several tracks by Brad Fiedel, along with tracks by Wilson Pickett and T-Bone Burnett among others. I was shocked to discover that T-Bone Burnett was not a grizzled old black bluesman. I had never heard one of his songs before and just assumed, I guess. Maybe I thought him and T-Bone Walker were the same guy? But then while T-B Walker could be considered a black bluesman he wasn't really grizzled either. Does one particular industry (in this case, the music industry) need more than one guy called T-Bone? Anyway enough about that, tracklist:

Brad Fiedel - Come To Me (Insturmental Version 1)
Brad Fiedel - Regine's Dance Of Blood
Brad Fiedel - Come To Me (Insturmental Version 2)
Wilson Pickett - In The Midnight Hour
Deborah Holland - Come To Me
Richard Berry - Louie, Louie
Brad Fiedel - Come To Me (Vocals)
T-Bone Burnett - You Could Look It Up

You might've noticed that I've added Netflix to my Affiliates list on the sidebar. So if you happen to be interested in signing up and want to help a Phelpster out, you know what to do. While I'm here, I do want to make it clear that I know nobody likes when a site they visit starts putting ads up, but I'm tanking here so I'm trying to get any additional income I can whatsoever. No one is under any obligation to click them or anything, and I'll try not to push them on anyone. And I will keep them out of the way on the sidebar there and I won't have any page you have to skip to get back to your content, or those IMDB style movie ads that are impossible to close.
