This one has some great music and cues, imho.
Anyone that's listened to the track in 5.1 would probably agree, particularly during Amy Steel's confrontation with Buffy.
Anyone else with me?

I'm with you. I almost bought the LP to rip to a digital format, but figured I would wait until a label inevitably gives it a CD release that is preferably complete with "Too Bad You're Crazy."

Intrada is giving Love at First Bite some actual love, so maybe good sales will have them seriously consider this other Charles Bernstein score as well.

First of all... I love this movie. Slick direction by Fred Walton... a very game cast... works both as a thriller and comedy. Charles Bernstein turned in a terrific score. Tongue firmly in cheek. I would love to see some company re-visit this score... Sign me up now.

I have an obsession that I every Halloween or Friday the 13th must listen to the music to the movies. There is one other gem I also do this to and it is April Fools Day on April 1st, but you had me put this on now, to go thru it and even if not one of my fave Bernstein I wouldn´t mind to see a CD release of this to (right after "that honkey who bites the big apple" that is in the pipeline with his naughty sidekick with the taste for insects)

"Oh, ha ha... HA HA HA HA! That's really funny you guys! ... really funny; F*CK YOU!" -

Sorry, I just had to post that. I love that classic shot of Amy Steel realizing she's been had, slowly turning around to look at "Buffy"

My attempt to provide a sense of what a part of the isolated score would be like, sans the crickets

I'd like to cover my butt and claim that this as 'Educational' under the Fair Use law.

Good one, hated it at the time, since i was part of the card carrying Fango
crowd, and we didn't like comedy in our horror, but I've come around.

Fun old trivia everyone knows!!
The Varese album is only the synth portions and mockups of cues that
were later done orchestrally in the film. Same deal on Deadly Friend, which
was 'kind of' fixed with the Perseverance CD.
