Music to Make Horror Movies By: 5 Star

5 Star System Addict

Sometimes it just takes a great mind! Denise Pearson, lead singer of ‘80s British pop sensations 5 Star, obviously had an instinct that the inhabitants of such post-apocalyptic horrors as Aliens, Creepozoids and Hardware might have had a better chance of surviving with just one thing – a dance break. This video for System Addict, one of the band’s most popular numbers, brightly and enthusiastically works that theory out to vibrant effect.

 

Decades later, lucky (and loyal) listeners know that Denise is still brightening dark and desolate landscapes with appearances in musicals and on concert stages across the world.

Music to Make Horror Movies By: Chequered Past

A super group isn’t necessarily always capable of providing a super theme song. But, glam loving rockers Chequered Past, which included members of Blondie (Clem Burke, Nigel Harrison), The Sex Pistols (Steve Jones), Power Station (Michael Des Barres) and Tin Machine (Tony Fox Sales), definitely came screaming out of the gate with the explosive A World Gone Wild in 1984. The song perfectly expressed the apocalyptic nightmare that the creators of (the almost exactly titled) World Gone Wild expressed in their 1987 feature, earning it a prime place on its soundtrack.

Unfortunately, despite making music that Des Barres described as “New York Dolls in a home for senior citizens”, the band only recorded a single album before calling it quits. Des Barres did go on to play various sexual degenerates and punk sauced villains in projects such as Ghoulies, Midnight Cabaret, Waxwork II and Nightflyers, adding a little rock flash to the genre world, therefore  keeping some of the band’s seductively corrupt goals alive in other forms of entertainment.

Spotlight: Christina Koenig, Filmmaker

As an indie filmmaker you’ve got to be inventive. As evidenced by You’re Not Here Now, her starkly effective horror short, transgender writer/director/actress Christina Koenig is truly running high on inspiration. Simple yet haunting, this piece features a nice representation of solitary terror and a truly formidable sense of (increasingly desperate) time and space, as well. Visually, the colors’ pop, and fans of The Twilight Zone, especially the more apocalyptic episodes, should find much to enjoy here, as well.

Koenig is, currently, working on her follow-up production, Deviance. More information on that (sure to be interesting) project is available at: https://www.facebook.com/DevianceOfficiaHorrorMovieMN/.
