We are honored to present two new soundtrack releases on Halloween, tomorrow. The 50th Anniversary Soundtrack of George A. Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and the Netflix Original Horror Series THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. Read below for details!
Waxwork Records is honored to present the 50th Anniversary Edition release of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to George A. Romero’s horror classic, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Written, filmed, and released in 1968 by a rag tag group of Pittsburgh based misfits, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is an American independent horror film that follows the story of seven people trapped in a rural farmhouse that is besieged by a large and growing group of living dead ghouls. The film is regarded as a cult classic by critics, film scholars, and fans and has garnered critical acclaim. The film has been selected by the Library Of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry and is deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant”.
From 2015 to 2018, Waxwork Records worked closely with the remaining members of the independent production company that made NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, Image Ten, in an effort to produce a definitive soundtrack album featuring all music from the film. Much of the film’s music was thought to be lost or destroyed, but was located in its entirety and faithfully restored and re-mastered for vinyl.
This special 50th Anniversary Original Motion Picture Soundtrack release of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD features the complete soundtrack for the very first time in any format, 180 gram double LP “Ghoul Green” colored vinyl, all new artwork by Robert Sammelin, a booklet featuring never before seen production photos, liner notes by Daniel Kraus (co-author of THE SHAPE OF WATER with Guillermo Del Toro), liner notes by Night Of The Living Dead’s dialogue recorder and sound engineer, Gary Streiner, and deluxe packaging.

The Haunting of Hill House
Waxwork Records is proud to present THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE Music From The Netflix Horror Series By The Newton Brothers. Originally a 1959 gothic horror novel written by American author Shirley Jackson, THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is a multi-episode Netflix horror series directed by Mike Flanagan (Hush, Gerald’s Game) and starring Carla Gugino (Sin City, Wayward Pines) and Henry Thomas (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial).
The series has received massive critical acclaim and praise. Author Stephen King described the series as “close to a work of genius”. The Telegraph calls it “the most complex and complete horror series of its time”. Forbes stated that “it may actually be Netflix’s best original show, ever”. RogerEbert.com gave unanimous praise calling it “essential viewing” and stated that “the show contains some of the most unforgettable horror imagery in film or television in years”.
The superb music to THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE was composed by The Newton Brothers and features compositions that are a complex blend of ambient orchestral cues and melancholy, haunting piano. The music is effectively hypnotic, ghostly, gothic, and at times, downright terrifying. Waxwork Records is thrilled to release the complete series soundtrack as a deluxe double LP set featuring 180 gram “Haunted” Green and Blue swirl colored vinyl, design and layout by Aesthetic Apparatus, printed inserts, productions stills, old style tip-on gatefold jackets with satin coating, and deluxe packaging.

DRAG ME TO HELL
Waxwork Records is proud to present the Original Motion Picture Score to DRAG ME TO HELL. Directed by Sam Raimi(Evil Dead Trilogy, Darkman), DRAG ME TO HELL tells the story of a banker with a seemingly good life, a supportive boyfriend, and a bright future. She makes a sinful choice for her own betterment, and as a result, is cursed by a gypsy and haunted by an ancient demonic force that will stop at nothing to drag her to the depths of Hell. The film became a box office success and has amassed many accolades and awards due in part to its originality and fantastic screenplay by Sam and Ivan Raimi,
The film score was composed and conducted by famed composer Christopher Young (Hellraiser, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge). It was Young’s aim to create a sonic landscape of a world that didn’t exist. A supernatural setting featuring overdubbed, layered violins to emulate an evil, devil-like force manipulating the instrument. Horns, organ, child-like ethereal voices, and vintage keyboards round out the score to create a dark and intense experience.
Waxwork Records worked in collaboration with Lakeshore Records on the DRAG ME TO HELL vinyl album. This special release marks the very first time that the film music has been pressed to vinyl. Features include the complete score by Christopher Young, new art by Midnight Marauder, 180 Gram 2xLP “Hell-Fire” colored vinyl, composer liner notes, and old style tip-on gatefold jackets with satin coating.
