  This compilation celebrates the turning of the weather, the chilling of the air,
  and the darkening of the sky. Each video game and movie remix on this album was
  tenderly crafted with demonic love. So clutch onto your ticket, take your seat,
  and wait for the lights to dim. With a little luck, you''ll still be alive when
  they come back up...

  03. VikingGuitar ft. Chunkstyle - In the Mirror (Profondo Rosso/Deep Red)

    Track notes:

      Awesome music from the 1975 horror movie by Dario Argento. The main riff is
  so damn mysterious and haunting, and the odd time signature just makes it all the
  more ominous.

      Nobody expected it, nobody believed it, and nobody could stop it. The one hope,
  the only hope: THE NESXORCIST!

  05. Robert Curzon & Wade Matteson - The Shape (Halloween)

    Track notes:

      Halloween has one of the most recognizable and emotive musical themes of any
  horror movie. It is eerie, cold, and suspenseful. We were lucky enough to be the
  ones to get to pay homage to this classic movie and its awesome music. Not only
  are we fans of the music, but also huge fans of the original movies as well as the
  remakes done by Rob Zombie. The first sample of the gun shot in our song is taken
  from the Halloween 2007 remake which we thought kicked off our track very well.
  We wanted to have a powerful track with many twists and turns almost as if the music
  told of the death and destruction that Michael Meyers left in his wake. Towards
  the end of the track we include a sample from the original Halloween film that we
  thought fit perfectly to the eerie acoustic section of the outro.

      The writing process was very collaborative with Wade and I bouncing ideas off
  each other and molding the song in stages. Most guitar parts were written by me
  and the bass was written by Wade but we each had a hand in keeping ideas that we
  both were excited about. Wade has a great sensibility for the emotional impact and
  structure of key elements which were integral to the final arrangement of this track.
  Writing this with Wade reminded me of our writing sessions for a project we had
  done in the past called Head Noise which also had a dark and experimental vibe.

      Using Reaper I recorded most of the guitar and bass parts using Line 6 POD Farm.
  I then proceeded to use a technique called re-amping where i ran my clean guitar
  signal through my effects pedal through my amp and then recorded that using a Sure
  SM-57 mic. I really am a fan of this technique but am always looking to improve
  my tone! The mixing and mastering was done in Reaper using Waves plugins and various
  other VSTs. The drums were through EZ Drummer DFH.

      It was a lot of fun to write this track and be part of this project that is
  packed with some great talent and awesome people.

  06. Tim Yarbrough - Then There Was One (28 Days Later)

    Track notes:

      No one to my knowledge has ever done this for solo guitar, so I attempted to
  do so, maintaining the intensity and creepiness of the original.

  07. Brandon Strader - Weeping Angel (Silent Hill 4)

    Track notes:

      I wanted to do more traditional doom metal than I had done before, but also
  do it my way.

  08. Stemage, Chunkstyle, Kevin Lawrence, & Norrin_Radd - Oscurità (Tenebre)

    Track notes:

      The goal of this track was to sound authentically ''70s/''80s. the dry and mid-focused
  mix is an attempt to capture the sound of classic Goblin tracks, and we ran the
  final master through a tape deck with Dolby NR to give some natural warble and texture.
  Thanks to Disasterpeace for the idea! We tried to dub it down to tape, dub the tape,
  and record it back, but that was just too noisy, and we lost a little too much synth
  sizzle in the process.

      We don''t have access to tympanis, so Kevin recorded about 8 tracks of additional
  percussion for the song. There''s a percussion solo of sorts, but his texture is
  all over the track.

      Norrin_Radd added about 8 tracks of keys - from vocoder to a variety of synths.
  The track sounded pretty good before his layers were added, but his contribution
  sent it over the top. He wins Halloween.

      Chunk''s bass is an experiment in delay. Chunk muted his strings using earplugs
  wedged under the bridge to cut notes short, and the L/R bounce technique is lifted
  directly from the original Goblin song.

      The screams in the track were performed by Chunkstyle''s daughter, after some
  "coaxing". She''s safe - we promise. MUAAHAHAHHA. No, she''s safe, really.

  09. Kirby & Cheryl Norfair - You''re Not Her (Silent Hill 3)

    Track notes:

      Cheryl yells at an ex for 80 seconds while Kirby pretends to know how to play
  something other than metal.

  11. ansgaros - Scared Much? (Are You Afraid of the Dark?)

    Track notes:

      I used to watch this show as a kid, and have always thought the ending credits
  song was pretty awesome. But it wasn''t particularly scary. In the spirit of Halloween,
  I wanted to make it scary and possibly haunting. Also included in my arrangement
  is the opening song. It just went so nicely as an intro of sorts.

      Original music by ???

  12. VikingGuitar - Within (The Thing)

    Track notes:

      The theme music to "The Thing" is some of the most ominous synth music to ever
  grace the screen. It is so blatantly John Carpenter that it came as a big surprise
  to me when I found out that Carpenter *didn''t* write it. He was too busy with the
  rest of the movie production, so he hired Ennio Morricone (who did "The Good, The
  Bad, & the Ugly") to do the soundtrack. Morricone tried to emulate Carpenter''s
  style, and did a damn good job.

      The song itself captures the isolation of the movie, and that constant heartbeat
  reminds you of the invasive life inside. I tried to replicate that for my version,
  but add some of my trademark metal style.
