Happy Record Store Day!

I didn't foresee falling down the rabbit hole as much as I have when it comes to fueling Danny's vinyl collection. I've gained a whole new fascination for movie soundtracks and scores on vinyl, and the crazy beautiful artwork that goes into some of these records, especially works from Mondo and Waxwork Records. My obsession with horror films has driven this crazy train to further madness. 

These are the records we've accumulated thus far since I've been on this journey: 

- Black Christmas 

- Child's Play

- Coraline

- Edward Scissorhands 

- Ghostbusters 

- Godzilla (2014) 

- Goosebumps

- Gremlins 

- Halloween: 40th Anniversay Edition (1978) 

- Halloween II (1981) 

- Hellraiser 

- It (1990)

- Kong: Skull Island 

- Nightmare on Elm Street 

- Poppy's I Disagree 

- Rob Zombie's Halloween 

- Rob Zombie's Halloween II 

- Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II 

- Terrifier 

- The Babadook

- The Exorcist 

- The Nightmare Before Christmas 

Of all the vinyls we have gotten so far, my favorite are the records to Rob Zombie’s films. I'm in love with the artwork crafted for all three films. Every vinyl came with a booklet of behind the scene photos, art prints, and exclusive liner notes from Zombie himself. The Lords of Salem soundtrack even included a bonus Black Metal live album by Count Gorgann. Opening these soundtracks felt very personal to me, and an experience in itself. I really appreciate the thought and work that went into these vinyl pressings. So much so, that I'm really REALLY sad that House of 1000 Corpses is currently unavailable.

Considering there are still six months left in 2021, this list of vinyls is ever-growing. The most anticipated scores of this year are the releases of Carrie and Killer Klowns from Outerspace, being released by Waxworks Records. I'm also praying to the holy vinyl Gods for them to re-press Beetlejuice in the near future. For now, I will be impatiently waiting for my Psycho Goreman record to arrive...
