Sounds Great Neverending, I look forward to tuning in when I'm not watching horror movies...

heck yes.
i very much am looking forward to listening throughout the season.

Thanks guys!

Man, I am stoked - just started listening to your stuff recently and I'm totally hooked. Sounds to me like this'll be one badass month - I'm pumped!

I had never actually listened until the HDC Awards. Now I listen every time I get on here. Thanks NE:p

Just another one of the growing list of things that has come to make this forum so special.

Awesome, guys! Thanks!

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


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:

The V for Vendetta soundtrack is top notch the songs they used were very effective for adding emotional depth, and the orchestral passages really got the blood stirring!

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.

Glad you're enjoying the music Chris! The list is updating for me on all the pages. Try refreshing your browser.

Now that my speakers are fixed i will be listening.It sounds great!!Good job!

I'm tuned in as I'm putting up mu halloween decorations

That UFO song by Pink Lady is loooooony

Listen close now Rod!

ah ! I somehow ended up on the Weirdsville broadcast at some point :rolleyes:
Nice reading btw, Sean. Was that original ?

Thanks very much for continuing to tune in, Flayed! It's much appreciated.

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.

Can we maybe make this a sticky for the month of Halloween?

This is really cool, and I'll be tuning in intermittently all through this month for a bit of "monsterrific" inspiration! Thanks to everyone for making this such a special show.

Hey NE.......any chance of you taking request in this thread?

when you're on LIVE......of course

What do you have in mind?

The organ music from The Ghost & Mr. Chicken would be pretty cool.

or

a little Rob Zombie

Coming right up. Then I'm off to do laundry

The exciting life of an internet DJ ;)

thanks

and there's the organ as I type......very nice

I'm gonna have to watch that movie again real soon

Just checked it out, awesome job men. You guys really....

kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

old bastard is so senile he can't tell ass from nuts :D

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:

http://www.NeverEndingWonder.com

Wow. If that's the one I'm thinking of, I haven't heard it for years. I used to love that cassette!

Queued one up so you can hear it and see!

I'm not that senile!!!!!!

and nuts.......lets just stick with ass!!!!!!!! :D

Just so you guys know, NEW has been fucking rocking today! Nice play list, NE! (I'm not buttering you up, I swear;))

Thanks Flayed! I do my best!

I know I am missing out on some real good stuff. But hopefully I ll start tuning in from 24th onwards, and I am really looking forward to catching the V for Vendetta soundtracks before Halloween rolls in.

Keep up the awesome work, NE. The world loves it! :)

I hope you're enjoying yourself, V!

I'll play all the requests you have when you get back!

have you played my silly poem yet?

Why yes I have- including the other day when you posted in this thread- but you ran off so fast you didn't hear it!

It remains in rotation for the rest of the month!

ha! I'm such a shitty forum member:p

sorry

hope everyone dug it.
