INTRADA
Announces:



FRIGHT NIGHT
Music by BRAD FIEDEL
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 183

The score from Columbia Pictures' darkly humorous horror film Fright Night (1985) proved challenging to release: the master elements were initially missing. Now, 26 years after its initial release, Intrada presents Brad Fiedel's long-awaited score. After much additional searching, Sony was able to locate a single ¼” 15 ips two-track scoring session master containing approximately 16 minutes of music. Further search led to a DAT transfer of the ¼” 7 ½ ips two-track stereo safeties of the remaining cues. With these two finds, Intrada was able to proceed on a release of Brad Fiedel's score.

Fright Night tells the tale of a Charlie, a teenage boy who enlists the help of TV host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowlel) in a real-life battle with the undead, featuring a horror homage that would become its own trendsetter -- pitting the duo against a ladykilling, Yuppie bloodsucker who just moved in next-door. Fiedel responded with a score that was both state-of-the-art and old school -- imbuing the hip villain with the stuff of supernatural legend. But while Fiedel tracked the story from a humorous beginning to an unexpectedly shocking climax, Fright Night’s experimental jolts were also firmly bound by the same melodic laws of a classic Hammer film, filled with themes and motifs that paint The Vampire as an eternal creature of seduction.The main theme introduces Jerry Dandridge with a swaying, hypnotic rhythm, enticing Charlie to peep on his neighbor, and the beautiful call girl he’s undressing. It’s a sensual build worthy of a rock god and his conquest.

Because of differences between the above-mentioned master reel and 1/4" safeties, Intrada presents all 16 minutes of the score from the high quality session master as a single track to start the CD. All of the individual tracks that make up that track also appear in the subsequent score presentation, allowing listeners to finally enjoy Brad Fidel's long overdue score.

Great release, one of my Grails, but.... I'm a bit disappointed:
the suite sounds great, instead the other tracks have the same poor sound of the boot...... WHY???

They could only use the elements provided by the studio and by Fiedel. It is better than all the tapes being lost as was long thought...but they do point out they were forced to use two different sets of elements

HELLS TO THE YEAH!!!!! I wanted to keep my hopes down, but I knew that Intrada wouldn't do us wrong. They're the best. One of my most wanted is now real! Just like Pinocchio!!! Hopefully it sells like a Christina Hendricks sex tape so we can get some more Fiedel releases.

Is Dark Delicacies going to offer this? I want mine signed but live in Ohio.

Any ideas?

I am OVER FREAKING JOYED about this release. It's a dream come true for me, and it can't get into my CD player soon enough.

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.
