John Harrison and the Music of Creepshow

Last year marked the 40th anniversary of Creepshow, the legendary collaboration between writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero, a colorful tribute to the gory horror comics of the 1950s.

But the jewel in Creepshow‘s crown was the wonderful soundtrack created by composer-director John Harrison. 

Based around an original interview, hear how John grew up watching sci-fi movies at his local cinema, toured with R&B legend Roy Buchanan, connected with George Romero in Pittsburgh – and almost completely by accident – came to score one of the most exciting soundtracks in horror film history.

Playing every Friday and Saturday night on FOTW Radio in your time zone!

GPS: Some places are best left unmapped!

Have you ever done something so stupid, that it’s left you completely afraid?

“GPS: Some places are best left unmapped” is a unique horror audio story from the land down under! Three young guys on their way to a pool party are led astray by a faulty GPS app, taking them through the backroads of the industrial west of Sydney. After losing their friend in a creepy terrace house, the two remaining boys end up somewhere much darker still, with only a bonfire to guide them!

Originally broadcast on the Halloween Listening Party on FOTW Radio, GPS features an original synthwave soundtrack, including the music of Irving Force, Machine Gewehr & Gees Voorhees, Guy Tallo, Dance with the Dead, Dynatron, Europaweite Aussichten, Deru, Daniel Deluxe – and a creepy incidental score by Kimberly Henninger & Shawn Parke.
