Some serial killers need a right hand knife, especially when they also happen to be the director and composer. Such was the assistance John Carpenter required after not only making HALLOWEEN. but also creating the most notorious, and toe-tapping theme in horror score history. That’s how sound designer-turned-composer Alan Howarth was brought into the series with HALLOWEEN 2 and given the “in association” credit for his teaming with Carpenter. Skillfully abetting that film’s far more visceral shocks with eerie atmospheres and relentless rhythms, the collaborators next turned to computer-generated horror for the series SEASON OF THE WITCH. However, HALLOWEEN‘s most […]Read On »

PARASOMNIA is Sleeping Beauty reimagined as a contemporary gothic horror story. In director/writer/exec producer/digital effects artist William Malone’s feature, Laura Baxter (Cherilyn Wilson) is a young woman suffering from parasomnia, a rare (but real-world) condition that causes her to sleep almost continually.
