The Sounds of Nightmares 4

The Sounds Of Nightmares 4: Music Composed For Campfire Radio Theater Thirty-one tracks of fiendish audio have been released for The Sounds of Nightmares 4: Music Composed For Campfire Radio Theater! Quite a few tracks were written for "Gerald" before the show went into production and more were written during the process. For those not familiar with the story, "Gerald" was originally written by Bill Gray for CBC's Nightfall (horror anthology series) and is set in 1983. Having grown up in the 80s and with a love of synthesizers, this score was something I could really sink my teeth into.......

Campfire Radio Theater: “Night Delivery”

Campfire Radio Theater: "Night Delivery" The latest horror story from Campfire Radio Theater is called "Night Delivery" and is set in the 80s. The story centers around a radio station, a rookie late-night DJ, a mysterious woman in red, and some devilish music! It was a wonderful challenge to assemble music for the story drawing from the archives of Overlook Hotel Records and creating new music. Quite a bit of the music written for the show was played backwards to fit the theme of backmasking. A couple of the tracks used in the story were written by friends of mine......

Audio Drama Production Podcast Ep. #49-Composing Music For Audio Drama

Audio Drama Production Podcast Interview: Ep. #49-Composing Music For Audio Drama It was in the 70s when I first heard audio drama. I remember sitting in the car with my dad, parked in the driveway, sitting on the edge of the seat, while listening to the remaining moments of an episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater. For those already familiar with the show, you will already know it is hard to forget the sound of the creaking door, the creepy music, and the unforgettable voice of E.G. Marshall. Fortunately for me, my father didn't mind me enjoying scary stories at......
