Attack of the Killer Soundtrack: Halloween Edition

Guess who? It's 10 o'clock. Do you care where your parents are? The following feature has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. It is intended for mature audiences and parental discretion is advised.

The Coast Guard. And the Navy have been alerted and are standing by on the eastern seaboard. It continues to burn out of control. It has been regular. Every five to ten minutes there has been another convoy of units, fire companies, paramedics.

A citywide emergency has been declared. Police officers are still on tactical full alert. 2,000 National Guardsmen are standing by. Air defense warning read. It's time for Movie Meltdown's Attack of the Killers soundtrack.

Live transmission has begun, and we're into the final. Hour of hell. What's up, and welcome to Movie Meltdown's Attack of the Killers soundtrack. So it's October, at least at the time of this recording, and I love Halloween, as we've previously covered in many Halloween episodes on the original recipe show. But not just the holiday, also just this time of year.

You know, that feel of the autumn air and the general creepiness that comes along with it. Maybe it's just me, but once it gets cool and those dead leaves start dragging along the ground, it's just a very different feeling than, you know, the rest of the year and the warmer months. I've always kind of enjoyed that time of year. And it's synonymous with Halloween. Like, in my mind, they have all become sort of mashed together together.

So, in that same vein, I also love creepy music, especially the sort of stuff that ties itself to those horror themes that we're always talking about anyway. So, I thought, what better way to celebrate all of these things than to put together a horrific version of Attack of the Killers soundtrack. Attack of the Killers. So as I said, I've always liked horror-themed music. Even as a kid, I remember buying those compilations of horror songs and the stuff that you're supposed to play at your Halloween party.

And, you know, who has parties? So I'd be riding around in my car listening to them. Not the cheesy sound effects stuff, but the songs that had sort of tied themselves to it. And a lot of them were movie-themed and sometimes just general horror-themed and monster-themed. And I always liked that kind of thing.

I think... I don't know, it just struck a nerve in me that I'd always thought those were cool and I'd always gotten into those. Oh, mark my words, Lou. There's something creepy about that young man. So in addition to that, there's sort of a new level that's come along over the years.

The older creepy music. And sometimes the further back you go time-wise, the creepier the music is. Now whether it's meant to be or that there's just something about things of that time period that sometimes make it a little creepier. You look at old photos from that time or even weird movies from when they first started filming stuff. Sometimes things come across a little creepier the further back you go.

So one incidence of that being used very well in a film, I thought, was in 2001's Jeepers Creepers. Now, we've actually done a whole episode on it, and I even played this song there, but I've decided to separate those shows. You know, this is a specific music-themed one, and this was actually the first song that came to mind when I thought about doing songs that have been featured in movies that had a creepy or Halloween sort of theme to them. So, not necessarily the Jeepers Creeper song itself. It's funny that the title itself is taken from an old song.

But no, the one that they close out the movie with It's called Hush, Hush, Hush, Here Comes the Boogeyman. It's a song written by Lawton, Brown, Smith, Lang, and Benson, which sounds like a law firm, but it was recorded in 1932 by British bandleader Henry Hall, which you'll notice because like a true rap star, he drops his name in the middle of the song. But vocals were actually done by Val Rosi. It's just a really fun song, but it's got such an old, creepy feel. that it's sort of like that is the soundtrack that comes up. When you see those old creepy Halloween cartoons, to me, this is the kind of music that's playing in the background while the skeletons are dancing around.

So this would be Hush, Hush, Hush, Here Comes the Boogeyman. Children, have you ever met the bogeyman before? No, of course you haven't, for you're much too good, I'm sure. Don't you be afraid of him if he should visit you. He's a great big coward, so I'll tell you what to do.

Hush, hush, hush. Here comes the bogeyman. Don't let him come too close to you. He'll catch you if he can. Just pretend that you're a crocodile.

And you will find that bogeyman will run away a mile. Say shoo-shoo and stick him with a pin. Bogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin Say buzz buzz, just like the wasp that stings Bogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings Hush, hush, hush, here comes the bogeyman Tell him you've got soldiers in your bed For he will never guess that they are only made of lead Say, hush, hush, he'll think that you're asleep. If you make a lovely snore away, he'll softly creep. Sing this tune, you children, one and all.

Bogeyman will run away, he'll think it's Henry Hall. When the shadows of the evening creep across the sky, and your mommy comes upstairs to sing a lullaby. Tell her that the bogeyman no longer frightens you. Uncle Henry's very kindly told you what to do. Hush, hush, hush.

Here comes the bogeyman. Don't let him come too close to you. He'll catch you if he can. Just pretend your teddy bear's a dog. Then shout out, fetch him, teddy.

And he'll hop off like a frog. Hey, meow, pretend that you're a cat. He'll think you made scratch and that will make him fall down flat. Just pretend he isn't really there. You will find that bogeyman will finish him thinner.

Here's one way. To catch him without fail. Just keep a little salt with you and. Put it on his face. Now it's time for some blaxploitation appreciation.

You're damn right. That's right, it is time for Blaxploitation Appreciation. You know it's coming. There is only one way to go with this. I mean, one main one.

There's a few weird times that Blaxploitation and Horror Cross is over. But there's one main one, one that comes to mind. We had to work it in here, and this is the first time we've done, like, the Halloween edition of Attack of the Killers soundtrack. So I thought, you know, we have to get this in here for the first one. Of course, the Blackula theme.

And it's performed by none other than Gene Page. So this is the Blackula theme, or the Stockwell. What news today? Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. You shall pay. Black Prince, I curse you with my name. You shall be.

Black Culler. Black Culler. The Black Avenger. Rising from his tomb to fill the night with horror. Black Culler.

Dracula's soul brother. Deadlier even than he. You know, he is a strange dude. You're a nut that ran in front of my cab. You're the only imbecile on this street.

Boy. Black killer. Look at me. You found me. He's got to be around here somewhere.

I mean, listen. Well, you take your hands off of me. I don't know you. He thirsts for your blood. He hungers for your soul.

Warm young bodies will feed his hunger. Hot, fresh blood will quench his awful thirst. Make it Bloody Mary. Are you into the occult? No!

How about the heavy stuff? What do you think of vampires? Vampires? I think they're possibly the most fascinating of all. More horrifying than Dracula.

The Black Avenger. Blackula. From American International Pictures. That's right, you've got to love Blackula. So as we move into this next phase of the show, this I thought, you know, we'd do some of our basic ones there to kind of get the ball rolling, but once we get into it, As we sat down and we did a couple of different Halloween recordings this past month, and as we got a good portion of the gang together, I thought I would throw it out there as you guys pick a song.

And pick a song that's, again, movie-themed, but also sort of horror-themed and something that ties the two together. And when you throw that sort of question out to people, you would assume you would get very general answers or very cliche horror movies or themes that everybody already knows. Once again, with our crew, you're going to get something a little different. I think we all pick stuff that the rest of us didn't see coming. You're probably not going to see it coming.

Everybody takes it a different way. And I think that's kind of awesome. So I like the weird mixture that we get on this. And it provides, once again, a very eclectic soundtrack. So we're going to go.

I'll sort of introduce them each one as we go along. So you'll recognize most of the crew, especially if you've been listening to these Halloween episodes. themed episodes. Cause the majority of people have been on all these episodes. We, we got a good crew together there. So we're going to go through one by one and have everyone pick their song.

So let's get to it. All right. So we're doing our rundown of horror themed music. What is your choice been? Which, which way did you go in this?

I got the email. It said, you know, think of a song from a, from a horror movie that kind of sticks with you that I think really made, made the movie. And, uh, When I was a kid, the scariest movie I ever saw was Legend of Boggy Creek. Nice. And, uh.

This doesn't surprise me either. And, uh, for some unexplained reason, right in the middle of this movie, you know, they're, they're going to, and for those who haven't seen it, it's early 70s, very handmade, it's very low budget, uh, But it had a lot of heart. God love it. It had a lot of heart. Docudrama is what it was.

Yeah, and so as a little kid who was scared of seven-foot monkey men, I was terrified of it. Even though if you see it now, it's very, very tame. But they were going through stories. They had farmers talking about the Bigfoot came and got my pigs, and Bigfoot came and killed my kitty cat. So I was terrified.

Yeah. And then it got to the point where it was going to talk about this kid named Travis Crabtree. And he was getting in his boat and he was getting on the river. He was paddling out into the wilderness of Arkansas. And he was going out to be by himself and commune with nature and hunt and trap and all that.

And you just knew. He's going out there and the boggy creek monster is going to get him. He's going to come pluck him out of the boat, eat him. And I was just terrified. And as he's paddling along, they start playing this early 70s.

It kind of sounds like, you know in the Muppet movie when Hermit's sitting on the log and he's plucking on his banjo. And there's like a little harmonica. And there just starts being this ballad going. And it was like, hey there, Travis Crabtree, come along with me. We're going to see where the flowers grow.

Yeah, and it's totally not scary. It's very 70s, happy, everything's great. And I'm like, okay, any minute now the song is going to turn bad and there's going to be horror and death. The boat is going to capsize. Travis Crabtree is going to, you know, and nothing.

He gets to this old hermit. They spend 10 minutes sitting around talking to the old hermit. I'm like, okay, okay, anyway, the song's still going. Bigfoot's going to come out of the water, kill them both. And it gets to the end of the scene, and Travis asks the old guy, have you ever seen a monster?

And he's like, I tell you what, I've been living in these woods for 800 years. There ain't no monsters in these woods. End scene. That was it. In the middle of this scary monster movie, it's the 70s.

We're gonna go and see where the flowers bloom. So it didn't really scare me, but it really stuck out. Hey, Travis Crabtree, wait a minute for me. Let's go back in the bottom, back. Where the fish are.

Biting, where all the world's inviting. And nobody sees the flowers bloom but me. Hey, Travis Crabtree, do you see what I see? On the gentle winds of morning A million birds are singing Like the bells of heaven ringing And nobody sees The flowers bloom. But me Drop me on a patch.

Of land Never stepped upon my man Where the crystal water flows deep While the falcon flies high Across the yellow-eyed sky Lord, ain't it great to be free Hey, Travis Crabtree It's the right life for me. Rolling alone in the bottom. While the birds and bees stop crying. Because the sun is down. And nobody sees the flowers bloom but me And nobody sees the flowers bloom but me And nobody sees the flowers bloom but me.

It's a little scary. I'll give you that. Dave, what do you think? Dave, you're the big foot. I was there.

I was there. You were in the woods. It was jarring. To have, like, you know, this sort of hippie folk tune pop up. It's pretty weird.

I look at it now, and it's kind of got its weird charm to it, you know, like the whole movie does. And you've got to think, this kid, he was like a teenager. You've got to think, the next day at school, whenever anyone saw this movie. Hey, Travis, come here. He's a pretty merciless man.

Going to go commune with the flowers. Going to go and watch where the flowers. Bloom and see the beavers bloom. Like the movie couldn't quite decide it wanted to be every kind of movie made you know it wanted to be everything a musical a horror film a documentary but I love I love Legend of Bucky. Oh absolutely but it's just it's so out of left field and you're really thinking okay any minute now monster's coming nope it's just 70s folk everything's happy and blowing on the harmonica oh a trumpet solo.

Now you've made me want to go rent Sprouting. Beavers it's a different movie. Though Beavers the biggest damn movie you'll ever see. Coming soon to this theater. All right, Greg, what have you got for us?

Okay, well, I was thinking memorable, and I'm going to tell you the one that I didn't choose first. Which is a choice. Right, right, which is a choice. Because it's not a horror film, but in Fallen, when the time is on my side, Rolling Stones, that's just such a memorable, and it really does a good job of bringing that The horror into that movie is because it keeps shifting from person to person. That's one of those songs that I can't hear that song without thinking of the movie.

But it's more of a thriller than it is a. We're going pretty loose. A horror. But since we want to go horror, and I always go sci-fi or thriller instead of horror whenever I'm asked a question, I'm going to go back to horror and Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and. The Fat Boys' Are You Ready for Freddy?

Because that is about as good as it gets. It's as memorable as you're going to get in a theme song. Yes. And Freddy raps, which is even better. Frank, who is the name?

You know my game. Elm Street's the place if you've got the time Listen to this, you'll bust the rhyme. Fred Krueger's a myth, but Fred Krueger's a man. It doesn't matter cause I'm still reppin' while the money stands To sit back, Jack. I'm gonna bust the rhyme Grab ahold of your feet, it's Krueger time.

It's time for Fred See, I'm a popular guy If you don't know yet You're. Gonna find out why. Man, fuck, please, what's up, street? Late one night, I look at like I know town. No one in sight.

With a hat like a vagabond. Standing like a flasher. This is the big time. Frank Krueger. Team Crescia.

Trying to find a girl, but then it's been me. Not once, not twice, but three times. Dancing. All the people sleeping, snoozing and dreaming. Bob Krueger's on the corner of Elm Street, scheming.

Come in and wake up, but let's just be. Because of Blaze, I'm pretty confident. Broke his hands on bed! Don't fall asleep. 1AM, Freddy's in a dream, dream, dream.

The night will be a great day, night, night, night. And when the time's up, I'm. Ready to go to bed. 2AM, Freddy's in a dream, dream, dream. The night will be a great day, night, night, night.

And when the time's up, I'm ready to go to bed. Even in part three, the dream warriors failed And Mr. Big Time Freddy Krueger was banned It was his prime time, I know you'll never forget What he. Did to the girl with the TV set But you can't stop Freddy, cause he's cool. As ice Come right back at ya, to Slash.

And Slay Like a ginsu. Blade, like a blabberhill blitz Freddy Krueger's putting on the red. Thrillin', young ones or old ones, your mama's too. And if you don't watch out, I'm gonna thrill you too. So my advice to you is to stay ready, cause you know who's back?

Friends. You see my name is Freddy and I'm here to say I'll wrap you up and take you away If you feel like you're tired and ready for bed Don't fall. Asleep or you'll wake up dead. I believe the fourth soundtrack also features a track from the Vinnie Vincent Invasion Wow. Just saying.

There's a weird poll. But yeah, the Fat Boys, they had the song with the Beach Boys and they had, I mean, they just, they were ready to completely sell out and do anything. I think that was kind of their whole thing, wasn't it? I mean, they were never really like hardcore street rappers and then they sold out. They were fat and lazy.

That was uncalled for. Yeah. But, yeah, that was one of those things like, are they really doing this? And it just kind of made it for me. So, yeah, Nightmare on Elm Street 4.

Equally as weird as the Crabtree Boy. This is going. To be the best podcast ever. Dave, I do not get superheroes. Oh, my God, I don't get you.

What don't you get? Powerbot here. Well, the meatbags were going to say that if you're a geek and like podcasts, then you could try Tower of Technobabble at www.toweroftechnobabble.com. Then this started. Well, it's up to you.

I'm gonna get my taser and put a stop to this. Towerbot out. Okay, monkeys. It's nap time. Well what do you have for us i didn't really understand the topic it's a pretty broad email wasn't very clear it's pretty broad if you can get a song just name.

Any song i have two in a movie then one of them was an original song made for the movie and the other was like pre-existing the original song is the whole like um um, chilly down song from the labyrinth. Cause when I was a kid, that fucking terrified me. The puppet characters, they're tearing out their eyes and exchanging them with one another and exchanging body parts. And like, as a kid, I was like, I'm not enjoying this anymore. Like, and that's when it just shifted into the weird, uncomfortable, like zone.

And I want to say, actually, I want to say, I remember watching that for the first time when I was sick. Anyway, These are all of your best memories. Like, it just made it work. Woo! Woo!

Don't got no problem Ain't got no suitcase Ain't got no clothes. To worry about Ain't got no real estate or jewelry up on my table Got your story in my head With the. Children's bunch in the land. It don't look much But you'll get it. You'll get it Cause it's.

Only glow, glow Chilling. Down the pocket Hey. Hey. Hey. I'm crazy, really lazy.

I'm rolling on the story. Ball playing, hips swaying, trouble making, booty shaking. Passing, jumping, bouncing, prowling, stalling, creeping, pouncing Shouting. Screaming, double-dealing, rockin', rollin', and. A-reeling With a natural sense of feeling, can you think I could be feeling?

So when things get too tough Your. Chin is dragging on the ground And even down the top. We can show you a good time. Show you a good time. And we don't charge nothing.

Just stretch your nasty stuff. Wiggle in the middle, yeah. Get that down, I'm talking fire guys. Get it, girl, I'm talking fire guys. Think smart.

Think smart. Hey, listen up. When you think it's wild, chill it down, chill it down with the fire, yeah. When you think it's wild, chill it down, chill it down with the fire, yeah. When you think it's wild, chill it down, chill it down with the fire, yeah.

Funny I was hanging out with you know Chris Vitito after we did the one show with them the RoboCop show and you know the more I talked to him more I was like this guy's like my brother from another mother sort of thing because we started talking about um somehow Christmas came up and he was like oh man one of my favorite things to do at Christmas time just take like songs and just slow them down like three times I was like oh my god he's like what have you ever do you know how weird that is I said I've got CDs to where I've done that he's like really have you ever done it with like chipmunks i was like yeah and what you do is you not only do you like um take it and slow it down but you actually like change you know the tempo to or the pitch so that way it's like normal men's voices singing it really slow but then what you do is you still you layer it on top of another one and you add like an echo effect then it's even slower and he's like oh my god i never thought like we had like this great thing where it's like have you tried this song and fucking it up this way.

And it's just like oh my god i don't You're my new best friend. By the way, that reminds me of when they post Justin Bieber songs that have been slowed down like 200 times and they sound like Sierra Ross songs and you're like, whoa. Am I really just secretly like, you know, a Justin Bieber fan and I just never realized it because. I listened to all of his music and like. No, you're not.

Yeah, no, I'm not. It's not a problem. Maybe. No, it's okay. I can cop to not being a Justin Bieber fan.

Horror and moral terror are your friends. I'll give like an honorable mention to... The children's song from the birds. Just because that keeps dragging on and on and on. It was like perfect pacing to where you're just like, fuck's sake, turn around.

I'm at the jungle gym behind you, turn around. And you're just listening to the song keep building and building and building. Well, apparently there's no business like show business. All right, Dave. Posh Dave.

I had so many. My daughter and I like to sit around and listen to. Halloween compilation CDs all the time, and we do that a lot now. I was going to bring up Beware the Blob. I do love that song.

He creeps. Is it true? Did Larry Hagman write that song? I heard Larry Hagman, the actor, actually wrote that song. Directed the sequel.

And directed the sequel. Maybe he actually worked on the song as well. I'm not sure. That's one I just threw off because I just love the song. There's a man that loves the blog.

She loves it. But I go back to a movie that I always loved. I can't pick one song. I have to have the whole soundtrack. It's Phantom of the Paradise.

We'll spin the wheel. My favorite Brian De Palma film. Since we did just talk to Garrett Graham, who was pretty awesome, by the way. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's cool.

He was really cool. Well, Garrett, even though it's not his singing voice on the soundtrack, they got. Ray Kennedy, who did all the... Schoolhouse rock songs. Oh, nice.

And he does the vocalizations. You do get to hear a little bit of Garrett in the shower in the movie. I think in the documentary that's on the French disc, they realize, we didn't know Garrett could sing. Paul Williams is like, I had no idea he was a singer. I wouldn't have hired this other guy.

And then eventually went on to beat this big song, right? Yeah. So the entire soundtrack composed by Paul Williams. Great stuff. Spin the wheel and pick a random.

Spin the wheel, I'd. Have to say probably Life at Last, which is Beef's big number, which is an awesome tune. Life at last, sit and listen while the fun begins Hearts are broken and the bad guys win Sit and listen, all the guns. Out the TV And they're sitting for a queasy on a week apart Oh, you had better stop, oh, what is the time? What's different, a woman.

Or a woman now? That you created Getting corny. And damn frustrated Each of you. Must stop and try me up Only you might satisfy me Ah. Ah Ah.

That and the previous song, Somebody Super Like You. Yeah, the undead one. The undead one, which is just such a great rock opera. I just re-watched it. You've got the undead, so there's a lot of people who say that Kiss derived their look and their concept from watching this movie.

A lot of people in Kiss who say, no fucking way. But they make up a lot of stuff in Kiss. They do. They don't kiss and tell. I've been a big fan of this soundtrack in this movie.

Not since it came out. I didn't see it back in the old days. I think I saw it in A Midnight of the Vogue. And then immediately started watching a bootleg tape of it almost every afternoon with Bob Markwell. And just love the music from that point on.

This is my original vinyl dating back to like 1981. Big fan. October night. Creeping past their bedroom door, I hear. The cries of sheep.

All right, Sterling, what do you have for us? Yeah, no, this is an interesting category for me because I'm not much of a soundtrack person. Weirdly enough, there are only a few that I've ever really gotten into. But with that said, of course, there are themes and stuff that crop up for me. The funny thing is I do listen to a lot of what I would consider creepy rock music.

I'm not just talking about heavy metal, but I mean like weird math rock and atonal stuff that's really big for me and forms a lot of my horror base. But I would say that. I've got a couple of things to mention, though, that I think really stand out for me. I've mentioned The Wicker Man a couple of times today. And to me, though, there's one reason I keep coming back to that is because– and it is partly because it is a musical– which is so strange for what.

That movie becomes. Like, uh, That is a film that manages to have some of the most chipper music you've ever heard. And every one of those songs, it's like the sexual part of it comes out and suddenly becomes ominous. And that scene where he's up in the... I forget what the song is.

It's where they're singing about Johnny. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're beating against. The wall as he's, like, you know, watching, as he's thinking about, like, the naked girl in the next room.

That's a really cool scene. Sneaker pimps covered that song. Yeah. And it's a crazy intense song and a crazy intense scene because it's, like, they all give this sense of the unity of the community. And that's one of the things that characterizes folk horror.

And I think some of the horror movies I like the most is this idea of, like, community solidarity that's become this terrorizing thing. But yeah, so I'd gently, gently Johnny. Yeah, that's what it is. Gently go, gently Johnny. Even the whole summer is coming in.

They're so damn chipper when he's being burned alive. Oh, but that is what makes that scene. I know, it is. He's burning and screaming Jesus Christ while they're singing the ancient carol and they're all smiling. It's wonderful.

And I don't think a lot of modern horror movies have the balls for that. No. I think it strikes you even more when you know it by reputation because it's one of those I knew of that movie for years and just knew it as something weird and it had a cult following and it had those weird occult ties to it. So I was like, I go in expecting this really creepy, weird 70s movie, which it is. But I had no idea there was music involved at all.

So they get to that first scene and they start singing. I was just like. what the hell's going. On? And not only like what the hell's going on, when it happens again and again and again, it's like a very important part of that film. Hey, who is there?

No one but me, my. Dear Please come. Say how do The. Things I'll give to you. A stroke as gentle as a feather I'll catch a rainbow from the sky and.

Tie the ends together. I am here Am I not young and fair. Please come Say. How do The things Would you have a wondrous sight The midday. Sun at midnight comb you smooth and stroke your head.

Our maid can milk a pool And every stroke of bucket-ball. To me, it's kind of like one of those elements that makes the film and doesn't make any sense at the same time, kind of like in The Little Girl That Lives Down the Lane. The fact that that movie has a little kid love story as the heart of that movie, it's like, that doesn't make any sense, but somehow that's part of what makes it great. But I'm going to throw in a ringer, though, follow suit, and say that this is, again, not quite horror-related, but watching the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil... really made William Mercer's songs have a special significance for me. I had not really listened to him much before then, but now it's like those tunes are colored by that film, and now I can't hear his music and not feel a sort of wistful eeriness to them.

There's a sense of things that have happened and been forgotten. And been remembered by too few. So that would be my ringer. I think you could almost do a theme on that, like songs that were either, well, in most cases, probably like very chipper and happy that because of the context of the movie that they were used in, like just have completely different, you know, I mean, Stuck in the Middle from Rose of War Dogs, Singing in the Rain from Clockwork Orange, just these songs that. Are very beat happy.

I see an old spinoff episode coming, so we'll start, yeah, start working on those too. Blimey. Marlena? This is just something silly, but when I think of horror movie songs, the first one that comes to mind is Killer Clowns from Outer Space by the Dickies. My friend Andrew used to be super into that movie, and he would just go around the house going, da-da-da-da!

All the time and like sure he just wasn't watching Sanford and. Son I mean. Probably both but I. Mean there's nothing wrong with either yeah but Sanford. And Son from Outer Space Sanford and Son from Outer Space a clown going Elizabeth I'm coming Lamont I didn't even think about that now I should like make a whole bunch of like 70s like theme songs and just you know tweak them because you know it just Moving on up.

If you slow that down, it can get really creepy. You take the good, you take the bad. What happens is you're dumping the body into the grave. We're moving on up. She's a small one.

I feel like that one and Facts. Of Life would be the two creepiest ones. Yeah, but I don't know. That's the only one that really comes to mind. It's so long ago There's one more every minute That you never.

Found Some make us laugh Some. Make us cry These bells, are they gonna make you cry? Everybody's running when the circus comes into the town Everybody's. Running for the life of the killer clown Without a space Kill the bad, wow, wow, wow, whoo, run. Out of faith.

Check it! Ring, master, shout, let the show begin. Stand in the dust, let them tell you when. See your option. Brother's nose on the painted face Bringing genocide to the gallery Time to take a ride on the night, dear merry-go-round You'll be.

Dead on arrival from the night of the. Killer sound. From outer space Kill the clown, wow, wow, wow, ooh From outer space The cotton candy in their hats There's a broken-hearted man with a stock of jack-o'-lanterns They will die. Of all the ghosts, oh no What do you see? Tell you what's become of humanity California shores to New York, I swear For all of them, they lay everywhere If you've ever wondered what the population's going down Leave it all up on the lumbar likes of the California.

From outer space. All right, Dave. What do you have? I think... Sporty Dave.

Sporty Dave. I think for me, one of the movie songs. I mean, I'm more partial to vampire-type stuff. I'm still a big fan of Little Sister from Lost Boys. I still think that's one of the greatest... creepy as fantastic like you know if I was just like rocking out to that on my own it probably wouldn't be as fantastic but I'm not saying it's a great song like on it's own but having that context you know having seen it like it's just Almost like what you say about Midnight at Garden, Good and Evil.

That song is just on a whole other level. As cheesy in its 80s as it might be, that is just one of the greatest, creepiest, fantastic songs ever. The last fire will rise Behind those eyes Black house will rock Blind boys don't lie. Immortal fear That voice. So clear Through broken walls That.

Scream I hear sister sister. Blue masquerade, strangers look on, when will they learn this loneliness? Temptation beats like a drum deep in your veins. I will not last. Little sister, I shall walk alone.

Come, come to your brother. Change me sister Love is with your. Brother My Shangri-La. I can't forget why you were mine. I need you now.

Come to your brother. Hey you. Come to me sister. Love is with your brother. Hey you.

Come little sister. Come. Come to your brother. Love shall not die. Come on, join me, sister.

Love shall not die. Love is with your brother. Just little kids ranting off the. It's. The background stuff going on that makes it so creepy, and it's funny that they made it the theme, like, out of a movie that has this huge soundtrack, and, like, they released a lot of.

Singles off that, but that's the one that like, the boy with his saxophone on stage. Yeah. Like that one didn't get any like radio play, but like that became the unofficial theme of sadly, I must say the series as it went on, but like they kept like, it was, even if you look at the soundtrack, it's the theme for lost boys. Like they took that creepy part of it and kind. Of, you know, it opens up with doors.

I mean, you have all these other, you know, bigger established songs, um, you know, and, and it's, shared capacity but you know that one just stood out so much it was it was pretty fantastic i. Am the monster the breathing men would. Kill that reminds me when you were talking about vampire movies um for some reason my brain keeps keeps wanting to think of something from bram stoker's dracula from 1994 I love. That movie, by the way. It's a terrible, great vampire movie for me.

I think it's better than most people get credit for. It's just a big, splashy movie. Well, that's the thing. And I think the reason for that is it is incredibly operatic and over the top. There's something about that movie that my brain wants to imagine Gary Oldman turning around and then singing his solo.

I find it not at all difficult to imagine. That would kind of work. You need to start working on that. No, there's something about that film that I would not at all be surprised if the characters just burst into song while turning Lucy into a vampire. You could call it Vlad the Entertainer.

Oh, dear. Well, you brought it up. We should escape this whole game. That is a Kickstarter, all right. I would watch that.

Keanu Reeves doing opera. Imagine those scenes, though. How fantastic. That's what brings down that movie. Everybody just goes, the one with Keanu.

He's the least... Wrong. Keanu is perfect casting for that film. He kind of is, actually. Because Jonathan Harker is a guy who sits in a scary castle with a vampire, and it takes him months to figure out that he's in a scary castle with a vampire.

You're a vampire. After watching him crawl on the... fucking like roof and like turn into a wolf and like all. This other crap it takes a pretty dense person and. Not bad casting yeah it's like you see him crawling on the ceiling he's like i suddenly realized that i'm the prisoner of a supernatural force like you are really really like just now. His freakishly long fingers Or the shadow.

That moves independent of his body. Well, Jonathan Harker didn't have cable. He didn't grow up with these kinds of movies. Yeah, I know. Whenever I saw my grandpa's shadow flickering on the wall, doing weird stuff and dodging a yo-yo, you know, like, yeah, I was definitely thinking, oh, that's, I'm sure that's just normal for people of his generation or maybe Transylvanians, you know, I expect this of them.

All right. Well, to round these out, I went, once again, we all sort of stray in our own way, and I kind of like that. It makes for quite an eclectic group. here because I went with one and this was one of the very first ones I thought of when I threw this out there and I think it's because it's not a horror song at all but I always give credit to movies who can take something not only is it like not creepy but it's an entirely 180 degrees in tone and and make it creepy, and it's even funnier that it's in what's essentially a horror comedy, Deo, I can never hear it again after Beetlejuice. I mean, that song had been around for decades, and it took it, and I can't hear it normal anymore. I can't not see the dance number going on, and the furniture coming alive, and it just claims that song, and that's the only way I can think of it now.

Last night, at work, this drunk guy started saying, and then someone was like, are you singing the song from Beetlejuice? See, that's how, like, generations after that will know. That's what my daughter knows it from. Yeah. That's all she knows is that's that Beetlejuice tune.

It comes on the radio once in a while. In the future, they will know Beetlejuice is that character that Robin Thicke dressed up as that one time. The other thing I think is kind of cool is that it also, it worked backwards and it is like what made me explore the whole Harry Bella. I had no idea who he was before that. And then there's this dorky version of me going back and finding, I think it was at the library, like, hey, look, they've got Harry Bell.

Because nobody else cared at that point. Kind of like Scott Joplin has the sting. Yeah. It's like I went backwards and actually got into his whole career. And there's so many good songs that he did.

This is totally off track. Have you heard Stan Freeberg's version of Dale? I don't know. The Banana Belt song. Google it later and listen to it.

I think you'll like it. Interesting. But yeah, I don't know. I thought that was an interesting, weird way to go out. So we'll head out with that.

I wonder where a guy in everyday Joe like myself could find a little action. All right, well, this will round it out. So thank you for joining us for this, the first horror-themed Attack of the Killer soundtrack. And as always, I'll remind you, even in the most horrifying times, Get a Life will provide the soundtrack. Daylight come and me wan go home.

But as time passed, and stories and conversation about the Falk monster died down, Teenage boys again began to go off on long camping trips in the bottoms. Excuse me, I didn't mean to end up in your lap. Really?
