Vinyl Soundtracks: The Audio Grimoire of Horror

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974): The Holy Grail

Stop. This is it. The OFFICIAL original 1974 score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell – available for the FIRST TIME EVER on any format. For decades, this experimental industrial nightmare was considered lost or destroyed, spawning countless bootlegs. Then the original master tapes were discovered at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin. Co-composer Wayne Bell personally reconstructed and mixed this cohesive listening experience from those precious source materials.

It's sonic terrorism. Suspended cymbals, aluminum saucepans, children's toy percussion, wildlife calls, whistles, and shakers combine into one of the earliest examples of industrial music ever recorded. Blood Red & Black handpoured vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jacket, exclusive liner notes from Wayne Bell, 11"x11" twelve-page booklet with behind-the-scenes photography. Treat yourself to horror history.

Collector Status: ESSENTIAL. 

Night of the Living Dead (Music from the Motion Picture)

George A. Romero's 1968 masterpiece that birthed modern zombie cinema gets its complete soundtrack treatment. Double LP on "Ghoul Green & Blue" hand-poured colored vinyl, featuring music that was thought lost for decades. Working with Image Ten (the original production company), Waxwork Records located, restored, and remastered every note. Includes 11"x11" booklet with never-before-seen production photos, liner notes from Daniel Kraus (co-author of The Shape of Water) and original dialogue recorder Gary Streiner. This is the definitive audio companion to cinema's first modern zombie apocalypse.

Rob Zombie Presents: The Last Man On Earth

Vincent Price. Post-apocalyptic vampires. The original "I Am Legend" adaptation from 1964. Now curated by Rob Zombie himself as part of his exclusive Waxwork Records horror soundtrack series. This Paul Sawtell & Bert Shefter score is getting its DEBUT vinyl release, personally selected by Zombie for its under-appreciated brilliance. 

Double LP on Gram Neon Green vinyl with Green & Yellow splatter, new artwork by Graham Humphreys, exclusive interview by Rob Zombie with Victoria Price, deluxe gatefold packaging. When the master curates, you listen.

The Bride of Frankenstein: Franz Waxman's 1935 Masterwork

Library of Congress-preserved. Now preserved in your collection.

Evil Dead Rise: Stephen McKeon's Demonic Symphony

Lee Cronin's 2023 urban nightmare gets the soundtrack treatment it deserves. Composer Stephen McKeon literally tortured instruments for this score—dragging carving knives along piano strings, recording "the meat grinder" effect, creating textures from broken and dismembered instruments. The result? Visceral, immersive, confrontational audio horror. Double LP on 180 gram "Deadite & Blood" hand-poured colored vinyl, old-style tip-on gatefold jackets with built-in pages from The Book Of The Dead, artwork by Stephen Reeves. Modern horror soundscape at its most unhinged.
