Too bad it does not include the songs...

That would have made it a 2-disc release. Anyway, why would Intrada want to do that? smile


It's a cult movie. From the eighties. And the songs are very important in it, especially for the fans of the movie, not (only) of the score. The same goes for their releases of Young Guns 2 and Back to the Future, not to mention River of no Return without Marylin's songs, but at least you can find them on CD. I know many fans of Fright Night who were waiting for the Intrada CD and who won't buy it because it does not features the songs. But I guess it's a copyright issue for the label, so be it.



Anyone who was waiting for the Intrada CD would have a pretty good guess ahead of time that the songs would not be included.

The audience for the songs and score usually...most of the time...are different audiences. This is not a case where the songs and score are woven into a fabric that gives the movie it's own unique soundscape...use MANHUNTER as an example. FRIGHT NIGHT isn't like that. It is a movie with pop songs tossed in by the marketing department. It was probably a copyright issue, a money issue and an issue of interest.

Hahaha. Both amusing and totally untrue.

I know them, you don't, so your reply makes nonsense.
Yes, the songs in Fright Night are marketing stuff (except "Come to Me") but the fact is you can't remember the film without remember the songs, and some of them are quite enjoyable ("Armies of the Night").
And I don't give a damn about those stupid film music collectors who consider songs are not "real music".
Frankly, can you imagine a reissue of The Lost Boys with Tom Newman's score but without the songs, for example ?

Really? How many? I know lots of folks right here on this forum that have been dreaming of the Fright Night score for years. The songs are a nice bonus, but that's not the music they were really thirsting for (music that was available on the LP which some people still own). But clearly you're someone who's very well connected, right? And you know lots and lots of people who won't buy the soundtrack without the songs, right? So how many people? Just a rough estimate. I want to know the fantasy number in your head so that when Intrada sells all or most of the CDs in a short time, I can let you know so you'll be ready to admit that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. big grin

It's not a "copyright issue." For Intrada to have released the score and the songs as a 2-disc set, they would have had to license the songs from their perspective owners since the songs were not originally written for the film FRIGHT NIGHT. That would be either financially impossible for Intrada or the release would have cost much more than $20.

Just ordered it. A sentimental favorite of mine, and the main theme really gets under your skin. Cool score for a cool film.

But what is Brad Fiedel up to these days? IMDb shows no more scoring since 2003. I guess he retired. I love his Terminator and True Lies work, but I also remember he did a fine dramatic score for "Immediate Family." I'm wondering if he's still up for scoring assignments... I've got an indie project he might be great for. smile

I know many fans of the films in France who are NOT members of this forum. About 10 000. There is a world out of soundtrack collectors, you know. And, yes, I'm well connected, that's my job.

Disagree completely. I remember the film, but I genuinely have no idea what any of the songs in the movie are, what they're called, what style they're in, who sings them, any of the music and lyrics. As it happens, I'm passing on the score album simply because I don't care for the sample tracks, not the absence of songs.

As for THE LOST BOYS: apart from People Are Strange I can't recall the songs from that one either. (Or the score, but I'm not much of a T Newman fan.)

Wow, 10,000 huh? Well, that's a shame that 10,000 silly people are going to skip a great score, but there are other thousands who will happily buy it and be grateful for it.

Actually, to use your term, nonsense. I can recall the movie perfectly well and don't remember the pop songs at all. Not a bit. However, Fiedel's theme still plays in my head

And "nonsense" really seems to apply to most of what you've posted here, in this forum, which is made up of "those stupid film music collectors" . So perhaps this isn't the forum for you and your 10,000 friends...

I can't understand why only 15 minutes of Sony pristine master survived.....

And I can't understand why is Brad Fiedel's master so poor........

And what about COME TO ME song? It's part of the score, why do not insert at least this song in the cd?

I'm very, very disappointed.

This edition of my Grail it's too bad.....

Well tyuan, shit happens. Saturn 3 had to be released from a 7 ips tape as well. I still enjoy it. Do I wish that it were made from a 2" 24-track master a la Flesh + Blood? Certainly. Do I think any less of the release? Hell no.

Beggars can't be choosers and we few in the score community certainly are the former.

Now, onto the songs discussion. I never even considered the idea that the songs from the film would be on the CD. Not once. Did Intrada include Bon Jovi's stuff from Young Guns II? No. They know their audience. Overall, their audience doesn't want songtracks. I know some do, but I'm speaking for what I believe the majority is. I remember one song from the film. It's from the nightclub scene. I'm quite sure that the only reason I remember that one is because of the fact that the nightclub songs fit that scene like a glove. Probably the best example of pop songs in a film, ever. At least for me. But when people clamored and wished for the Fright Night score all those years, the songs were nowhere on the itinerary. Sorry.

You "remember" the film : it's different from being a cult-follower of the film. And, concerning The Lost Boys' songs... Never heard of "Cry Little Sister" ? It's a cult song very important in the movie and among vampire fans.

Guys I have to ask, do you HONESTLY think our good friends at Intrada purposelessly said, "NAH, I don't want those songs on this score soundtrack." ? ? ?

They were not able to get the songs for most likely a variety of reasons, WAY too expensive, or the LP rights people still held the rights or the one of the many variables like that. Let's give Intrada more credit you know. I would imagine they would have loved to have a good portion of the songs on the CD, but couldn't for most likely a rights issue. Or they could have released them, but then taken little to no profit on this entire CD. These guys have been doing this for 25 years, let's trust they tried their best, but in the end, they just couldn't, okay.

Ka-razyfilmscorefan, the only song You remember, is THE song! It's COME TO ME, the sung version of the main theme..... It's a song, but for me it's part of the score, because it's the same score music with the lyrics....

It's written and performed by Brad Fiedel! Why do not put it inside the score cd?.....

I listen to film scores for more than 30 years and it's part of my job.
