Fiedel’s score for the 1985 film
After reading that headline, some of you are probably saying, “What’re you talking about? The Fright Night soundtrack has always been on CD!” No, it hasn’t. What you own is likely a bootleg. Hell, I had one until a certain writer here in L.A. borrowed mine and never gave it back (bastard).
It doesn’t matter, I don’t need the bootleg because come October 18 Intrada is giving Brad Fiedel’s score to the 1985 Tom Holland film a proper CD release. Here are the details:
CD is presented from 1/4″ two-track stereo master elements courtesy of both Sony Pictures and composer Fiedel. Some elements were drawn from actual 15 ips mixes, others were from slightly noisier 7 1/2 ips tapes. Rather than meld the two, we are presenting the surviving 15 ips cues as an opening suite, followed by the full score from the 7 1/2 ips tapes. Brad Fiedel performs.
You can pre-order the soundtrack, and listen to clips, right here.
Thanks to “Jared” for the heads-up!
