I encourage anyone who never picked this up when it was first released to do so now! The opening few minutes of this CD are some of the most eerie, haunting, and just plain sad ninutes of music Young ever composed!

Done! I missed the original release. The sound samples are real grabbers!

Agreed. Even when the score introduces some elements of hope, it does so in a very muted fashion.

Very sad and depressing, but also beautiful and haunting. Classic Chris Young.

Adore Young and hadn't had the pleasure of hearing this one before. Those samples are terrific, vintage Young. Ordered.

This is a really good score, y'all, from an especially fertile period in Young's career.

Listened to this now. It's all VERY Goldsmith, but so were a lot of Young's scores at the time. Pretty neat horror score with a good amount of listenability.

Ordered! Never heard before, but hey is Christopher Young. Do I really need to? No!

This looks like some real juicy Busey.

I miss seeing that crazy mofo play villains in macho action flicks...

The re-release of this score has compelled me to take my old copy off the shelf for a respin (Jennifer 8 jumped into my hands too).
It's been awhile since I listened to either, so they join my healthy looking play list this week.

I fast tracked my listen of this to tonight, while the good lady was watching Casualty.
I didn't remember it being/sounding this good.
Loved hearing/remembering the little NIGHT CROSSING nod in a couple of tracks.
The sad/plaintive melody is like a cross between the really sad/lovely bit from FLY II and something by Horner (is it WOLFEN?).
And was this the very first Intrada/Chris Young release?
He mentions calling into their store in the liner notes and feeling like being made part of their family.

Been listening to this practically on loop all week since it arrived. Always throws me how Young can write such beautiful, sophisticated music for such minor, tawdry films.

Haunted. That's how I would describe Christopher Young's music when he's in this mood.

I still have the original CD release of this score, from when I purchased it back in 1990. I'm not sure I'll re-buy it again, unless it's for the notes, but it was a favorite back then when I was absorbing so much of Chris Young's wonderful music for horror and S/F movies. This made a great companion piece for FLY II, FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC and HELLRAISER.

Been on a Chris Young kick lately in excited anticipation for Pet Semetary.
I own both Hellraisers, Drag Me to Hell, Priest, Flowers in the Attic, Ghost Rider, NoES2, Bless the Child, Killing Season, Monkey King, The Uninvited and The Dark Half. This worth adding?

Indeed. The late 80's, early 90's was a wonderful time for film scores and Christopher Young was a major contributor to that wonder.

I don't own new Hider - i never thought the original sounded that bad, but that's just me, from what i read it supposed to have better sound improvement more liner notes best too shoot new.

He and John Powell are my favorite non-dead/non-retired composers. I’m just not the type that buys a score by a favorite composer for the sake of it, otherwise that leads to a monotonous library fast when you collect too much, hence I’m curious if Hider’s a worthy add. But what the hey, I’ll likely dive into this. An 18-minute Young suite sounds tantalizing!

"I'm That Monster" har har, damn fine JNH cue...I thought it funny...you know cos I buy everything from my guys....um, anyway.

HIDER - top 5 Chris for me. It's a VERY moody, melancholy listen, save the sole action cue, and that is still not the usual Young percussion ass kicking.
If you like low-key, somber, late night, lights out scores, get this pronto.

My favorite Young score might be Judicial Consent. Should I get this?
