Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary horror film director's first album of original music not explicitly tied to a cinematic release. Working alongside his son Cody and Daniel Davies, he constructs menacing, synthesizer-driven instrumental tracks that vividly evoke the tension of 1980s slasher films. The record effectively launched a highly successful late-career musical renaissance for the auteur.
