It's Spooky Season And Sean Keller Has Your "KILLER" Soundtrack To Go With It!
While everyone is creating their 31 days of horror lists, buying bags of candy early, and turning their homes into full-blown haunts the one thing you can’t overlook is a great soundtrack. For those of us of a certain age, the only “soundtracks” we had were our records of film scores and some sort of “spooky sounds” compilation that felt like a gaffer’s fever dream night rather than something atmospheric and eerie. Thankfully, times have changed for the better and there is a wide array of music to accompany you this October, especially that of Sean Keller & Friends.
After a 3-year hiatus, Keller is back with another album to celebrate the scary, “KILLER SOUNDS OF HALLOWEEN: THE FINAL CHAPTER”. Check out the press release below, and see what Ryan Turek, EVP of Film Development & Production at Blumhouse has to say about Keller’s latest compilation!
“These albums immediately get put on shuffle the second I get a whiff of the Halloween season in the air. The wildly creative songs set the perfect tone for our favorite time of year.” - Ryan Turek
From The Press Release
After a three-year hiatus, “Sean Keller & Friends” are back from the dead with the announcement of the release of the fourth installment of their popular KILLER SOUNDS OF HALLOWEEN album series, the latest titled THE FINAL CHAPTER, which is available now exclusively on Bandcamp.
Like the three previous KILLER SOUNDS OF HALLOWEEN albums, this 13-song mixtape of genre-hopping, spooky songs from fictitious bands, “lost” horror movie trailers, and Halloween radio ads from an alternate universe was composed, performed, and produced by Keller, and features performances by guest vocalists and musicians who are best known as actors, writers, and directors from the world of horror.
Joining Keller for THE FINAL CHAPTER is Shannon Purser (actress, “Stranger Things”, “Riverdale”), Aurora Perrineau (actress, “Kaos”, “Westworlds”), Gigi Saul Guererro (director, “Satanic Hispanics”, “Culture Shock”), Chelsea Stardust (director, “Satanic Panic”), Chris LaMartina (director, “WNUF Halloween Special”), Melissa LaMartina (producer, “For Sale by Exorcist”), Michael Varrati (director, “Fangoria Chainsaw Awards”), Fayna Sanchez (actress, “Creepshow”, “Tenants”) and many more.
Songs from the previous KILLER SOUNDS OF HALLOWEEN albums have previously been featured in the motion pictures “Halloween Kills”, “Halloween Ends”, “It’s a Wonderful Knife” and “The Manor”.
Says Keller, who is also known as a screenwriter (Chelsea Stardust’s “All That We Destroy” and co-writer of Dario Argento’s “Giallo”, as well as the creator of the Hollywood Fringe Fest hit “Slashed! The Musical!”) of the fourth installment of KILLER SOUNDS OF HALLOWEEN, “My deep, nostalgic, borderline maniacal love of the Halloween season is what drives the creation of each song and I only hope that the love and joy comes through on each track… even the really dark ones.”
The fourth track from THE FINAL CHAPTER, “Come Be the Night” featuring vocals by Shannon Purser, can be streamed for free here until 10/7/2024.
