Curious to know whether the restored Director's Cut of Barker's epic Monster Bash was scored by Elfman before it was cut down to bare bones. Anyone know? Looking forward to seeing the new--or original--version (see link), but worried that it could be loaded with awkward music edits and lots of re-tracking.
I guess if they finesse it a bit, use careful fading they could massage the music situation so it doesn't distract too much. And who knows, maybe there were scoring sessions that survived and will be a part of the Director's Cut.
Think there'll be more of Cronenberg's "clinically crazy" Decker? He's a hoot in this.

Thanks for the heads up, been waiting for this release for a long time. The special edition set at 80$... yowza.
I don't believe Elfman scored the longer version, yes there is more Decker in it, and I hope they will have included Doug Bradley's original voice (he got overdubbed in the existing version).
Thanks, Francis. I'm a lot more interested in this now that I understand they actually found the original film elements. When this was first announced, the article I was reading misreported that the source of the new footage would be the poor quality VHS rumored to be floating around. I thought, what's the point? But this is a different ball game.
The music editing does sound like it's going to be an issue, and there can be other problems with "restored" editions with rough edits, degradation that can't be completely smoothed over, sound problems, etc., leaving things feeling less than cohesive...which is why I wish the--ahem--more affordable release also included the theatrical cut in case a host of issues makes the director's cut more of an archival curiosity that fails to erase memory and preference for the original theatrical cut. Could happen, but really glad we're getting a chance to see Barker's best stab at reassembling his original vision. Maybe they'll eventually release the theatrical on its own--and less expensively--after the limited edition has sold out?

It is great news they found the film elements as all they had was a vhs copy beforehand. Also Barker's involvement with recreating this and supervising it makes me believe that any music editing will be done properly. I agree about the absurd pricing; I own the widescreen theatrical cut on dvd, not sure if I'd go to the lengths of paying 80 $ + shipping (which easily amounts to 100 $ without customs) for one movie... I think I'll stick to the regular version with the director's cut as this is the one I want to see the most.
