Halloween II Soundtrack

Rating: C

Zombie’s soundtrack to Halloween II is a mixed
bag of classic rock songs, remakes, new tunes and tons
of in-between song spoken word clips. The clips confuse
things in this day of shuffling songs. They get out of
order unless playing the CD from start to finish.
The
movie is hopefully better than the soundtrack. The
highlights of disc are the classic tunes, ala Foghat’s
“I Just Want To Make Love To You,” The Moody Blues
“Nights in White Satin” and the MC5’s rocking “Kick Out
the Jams.” Zombie’s band, called Captain Clegg and the
Night Creatures, is typical hillbilly rock. The songs
seem rehashed and boring.
The
best song on the disc is the haunting and creepy remake
of the Nazareth classic “Love Hurts” by Nan Vernon. She
brings new layers to the song and while the guitar solo
is missed, her tone and the double meaning of this being
included in a horror movie can ‘t be dismissed. Hats of
to Zombie for finding a great song and the perfect
artist for this movie.
This is far from a ‘must own’ but Zombie fans will buy
it, dissect it and discuss it endlessly online, so for
them it will provide hours of entertainment.
