If you’re a fan of both horror and soundtracks, like me, you know there’s an embarrassment of riches to collect– especially in the current golden age of boutique labels like Waxwork Records and One Way Static. Some of these horror soundtracks are highly uncommon, not because they’re for obscure films or TV series, but because […]

This Thursday, May 26 marks World Dracula Day, commemorating the 125th (!) anniversary of the original novel’s publication.
