Do you do commentary for other special HDC events, or just the yearly Horries? I think the last time I'd had so much fun on INTERNETz was when we composed the Hidden Gems list, and your commentary was a big part of it.

I don't think that was me...
But I did do commentaries of our trivia matches we were having here.
I'll be listening all day at work....helps pass the time. I hear some obscure stuff that I haven't heard since I was but a wee newb.
The commentaries on the trivia matches were great.

And I thought last year's October rocked!! This is insanely amazing, and its going to be a rocking ride! :D
Just for V, the V for Vendetta soundtrack joins our playlist this year.
Woohoo, thanks NE! I always thought the movie had a very underrated and amazing soundtrack, and many people didnt notice it or didnt give it much interest. Now it will get the attention it deserves. :)
It is going to be a rocking October at the NEW Radio stations for sure. Anyone who hasn't tuned in yet, do so already. You have no idea what you are missing, folks! I highly recommend NEW Radio's October Halloween blast! :cool:

Don't think the word "graces" has ever been used by anyone listening to my tunes :D Loving the show, NE. Only problem is I'm paying more attention to it rather than the awful movie I'm editing so I'm getting nothing done this afternoon. Of course that could be a good thing with this flick....
On a side note, I don't think the recently played list is updating. You might want to check it.

You have no idea how much more fun you make this place to be. It's all in the food chain of making this place THE horror forum to be on.
Admin who pays attention? Pshaw, sir! We have celebrities and our own radio station. We have members who do their utmost to promote horror and educate people to the best of their knowledge.
Where else can you go to get a community like we've built? Again, I say pshaw to an admin. We've done fine with each other. Better than any other horror site I've ever joined.
Kudos to all of us for being the best that money can't buy.

NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio today added 13 spooky albums to their library.
For fans of classic and contemporary soundtracks, you can look forward to these offerings:
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte Soundtrack by Frank DeVol- including covers of the popular theme song by Patti Page, Al Martino, Jimmy Joyce and two different versions by Bette Davis! The lush and atmospheric score to the Gothic thriller is one of DeVol's Best.
Theatre of Blood Soundtrack by Michael J. Lewis. The string-driven atmospheric soundtrack for this Vincent Price opus reminds us what great horror soundtracks were like before the dominance of synthesizers.
Pit and the Pendulum Soundtrack by Les Baxter. They don't get any more classic than this jazzy yet moody score to Corman's Poe adaptation.
Scream and Scream Again, by David Whitaker. An odd little film that featured Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee- but never in a scene together! The equally quirky score features classic atmosphere and modern jazzy tempos.
Plan 9 From Outer Space Soundtrack- comprised entirely of stock library cues, this score is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Ed Wood fans.
Magic Sountrack by the prolific Jerry Goldsmith. A typically fine soundtrack by Goldsmith for this gem of a movie starring Anthony Hopkins.
On a more contemporary note, we have John Beal's sountrack for Tobe Hooper's Funhouse. Suspenseful, somber, expectant, it conjures many moods.
Richard Bellis' score to Stephen King's IT is a fine example of modern horror soundtracks combining orchestra and electronics to great effects.
The soundtrack for the sci-fi comedy Earth Girls are Easy combines 80s acts such as Depeche Mode, Hall & Oats and The B-52S with comedy songstress Julie Brown's original numbers such as I like Em Big & Stupid, Cuz I'm a Blonde and the title tune, which was her inspiration to pen the script.
For a thouroughly modern score, we have Tangerine Dream's electronic brilliance for Near Dark, a modern vampire tale that never once uses the word vampire...
Horror Movie Madness by keyboardist Matt Fink provides us with horror film themes both familiar such as Halloween and The Exorcist and several themes not quite as common, such as Leprechaun, Re-Animator, Jacob's Ladder and Child's Play.
For non-soundtrack music we've added another Matt Fink offering- Music of the Vampires- which features original keyboard compositions based on vampire imagery.
Our final addition today was Calgary based Forbidden Dimension's Sin Gallery. Surf garage punk trash with a heaping helping of horror on tunes such as Atomic Cannibal, Martian Death Saucer and Haunted. Rocking horror goodness!
You can hear them all on the internet's Halloween radio station with the greatest variety of them all! Seriously- I don't think you'll hear all these offerings anywhere else but NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio. Tune in here:

Gothic Polka? Can it be true? It IS!
Veronique Chevalier's new release Polka Haunt Us (get it?) has joined the playlist of the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio Empire. Joining the ranks of alternative polka releases, such as The Polka Floyd Show earlier this year, it really seems there's a movement afoot to demonstrate that the polka is not just a quaint dance form practiced by drunken Europeans.
Musically and lyricly this album is dynamic, challenging and invigorating. By combining polka tempos with lyrics that tell spooky stories this offering is completely original and a joy to listen to. It's perfect for this time of year- or, for fans of refreshing musical treats, it's perfect for any time.
Some songs are played for laughs, such as The Beer Hall in Hell, but some- like Ghost Train, are powerful musical tales of the supernatural. Earlier this year I would have said that there was no way you could pull off a polka version of Pink Floyd. Polks Floyd proved me wrong. Now I must add to that list of improbabilities that work perfectly, the genre of Gothic Polka.
Chevalier has packed her release with top notch talent such as master yodeler Kerry Christensen, 2007 polka Grammy nominee Alex Meixner, Marion Ramsey (from the Police Academy films), and many more.
Polka- it's not just for the beer and bratwurst set any more. Artists like Weird Al, Polka Floyd and now Veronique Chevalier are showing us that polkas can not only rock, they can be valid methods of artist personal expression. It takes a lot of talent to pull something like this off, but Chevalier has it aplenty. Check it out.
You can hear Polka Haunt Us on the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio Empire.

I can really get into this. We have several television and radio stations that cater to Mexican audiences, here in Florida, so I hear variations on polka music all the time. While in New York last month, I picked up a polka station on the radio. You just can't help but feel energized when you here that music.
Weird Al may have been ahead of his time.
