Everyone remembers Twisted Sister, right? Do you remember White Sister? This other Eighties hair metal band never hit it as big as their sisterly counterparts, but much like Dee Snyder they did make contributions to the horror genre, specifically to the Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers soundtrack.
White Sister actually made two contributions to horror movie soundtracks of the Eighties. Their song ”Save Me Tonight” was included on the soundtrack to the original Fright Night. That’s another B-Sides for another day.
White Sister’s “Dancin’ on Midnight” can be heard throughout Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. They certainly seemed to have a thing for time-of-day rock songs.
Now’s a perfect time to showcase “Dancin’ on Midnight” seeing as how we’re in the Halloween season. “Dancin’ on Midnight” certainly sounds like a perfect song for Michael Myers to rock out to while dancin’ on his victims’ graves.

The Phantom Of Hollywood (1974) Remastered Worldwide Films was the grandest dame of all the Hollywood studios, until small minded souls eager for quick profits started to dismantle her, dream by dream and lot by lot. Until a mysterious Phantom appears, willing to murder anyone who threatens the studio lot he calls home.

A few weeks ago I peeled open my rib cage to reveal my raw, beating heart and the sound of that heart was (to the tune of “thump-thump, thump-thump”) : Fright-night, Fright-night, Fright….
Yeah, I worship writer/director Tom Holland’s 1985 vampire gem and I fly that fanged flag with pride.
But outside of the ace performances from Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowell, outside of Holland’s sharp, affectionate script and tense – yet playful – direction and outside of Richard Edlund’s gorgeous special effects, one of the major hooks that Fright Night jabbed into me was the soundtrack, a sexy, atmospheric synth score by Brad Fiedel and a motley collection of 80’s pop and metal tunes that fit the material perfectly, almost as if they were written specifically for the action on screen.
Well, it turns out for the most part, they were.
See, shortly after I published...
