This music album  is the official soundtrack to Cosmotropia de Xam 's horror film Phantasmagoria, (2017) that is reviewed by me here . And Mater Suspiria Vision is the director's witch house band. The band is probably the most well-known representative of the spooky, horror-themed side of the genre, and in my opinion this work, and the following Baba Yaga (2018) , are the best in their discography, as well as among the most intersting albums in the whole genre of witch house music.   There is a bit more information about them in one of the previous articles in this blog . Let's go deeper into details: Perfectly kept in a single nightmarish mood across the whole lenghth, and at the same time all songs have slightly different shades of creepiness: 1) The Contaminated Photos Of Valentina Crepax feels like a very appropriate ouverture to the following spooky journey. 2) Danza Macabra (Aether Schock 1) suddenly t...

This wonderful work is an amateur compilation of music pieces, extracted from different old cheap horror films , many of which belong to European exploitation movies , and joined together, apparently, by the owner of the YouTube channel it is published on.  According to the description, the sound was transferred from vintage VHS cassettes, and it looks so because of the hiss. The recordings feature voices of actors and other sounds from the films. In this particular case it feels even better than regular music-only OST albums released officially. It works perfectly for tuning yourself to a creepy, very weird vibe. I liked the first part better, so I recommend you to start with it, though both are great. Let's keep  in touch: I created this blog for like-minded people with weird taste for unpopular, obscure, and sleazy films and music. If you feel our tastes are similar, let's be email friends.

The Vampires Night Orgy (the original title is La Orgia Nocturna De Los Vampiros ) is a Spanish film directed by Leon Klimovsky. It's a good vampire horror story with typical 70's exploitation genre features. Among the community of European old horror lovers this film is not mentioned as often as other classics of the genre, which adds even more curiosity. Table of Contents Trailer:   Plot Summary A group of people, hired as employees at a mansion of an aristocrat, are going by bus to their working place.

And as it's a horror film, obviously some of the members will have to stay for especially longer time, if...
