Cinematic Sound Radio

Welcome to a special Halloween edition of THE ARCHIVE on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST Today’s show focuses on the music of the house of horror, HAMMER FILMS. Yes, all of the music comes from the studio best known for a series of Gothic horror and fantasy films made between the mid-1950s and the 1970s. Many of these feature classic horror characters like Baron Victor Frankenstein, Count Dracula, and the Mummy, whom Hammer reintroduced to audiences by filming them in vibrant colour for the first time. Composers featured include David Whittaker, Harry Robinson, Laurie Johnson, Franz Reizenstein and the great James Bernard. The show is scripted by acclaimed film music journalist Jon Mansell, who, with the help of your host Jason Drury, will take you on a journey through the best music this renowned studio has ever produced.
