La La Land Spooks Up Sales, Another Catalogue Score

October 20, 2010 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

La La Land Records has scared up a spooktacular score from a romance film this week, as well as a bootiful bounty of titles on sale.*

This week's catalogue title (alongside an impressive, triple-disc edition of Bear McCreary's music to the FOX television series Human Target) is a bit of an obscurity: Christopher Young's score to the 1988 romantic drama Haunted Summer. Based on true events, Haunted Summer tells the story of Lord Byron, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley's vacation to Lake Geneva in the summer of 1816 - a trip which was allegedly full of passion and mind games (per the film - if nothing else, it was the event during which Mrs. Shelley conceived the idea for a novel, Frankenstein.)

The score was composed by Christopher Young, a writer well-known for his work on sci-fi/horror projects (Hellraiser, Spider-Man 3, Drag Me to Hell) and romantic films (Love Actually). The disc includes the original, 11-track album alongside seven bonus cues from the original film; it will be limited to 1,200 copies.

The label's also got a Halloween sale going on - through October 31, several horror-oriented score titles will be on sale for as low as $1.98. The list includes Child's Play, The Howling, 28 Weeks Later and more.

Hit the jump for details on Haunted Summer!

* Please note the author mostly enjoys the Halloween season for the puns more than anything else.

Mike Duquette

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
