Music is an important part of a movie.  It enhances the mood and emotional impact of a scene- makes it scary, dramatic, exciting, funny, etc. So, what follows are my Top Five Soundtrack Songs: "Haunted Heart" (Christina Aguilera):  This song is from the start of the latest animated "Addams Family" movie.  It is a nice, haunting, beautiful song- a song fitting for introducing Mortica Addams. "The Touch" (Stan Bush):  This is considered one of the best songs to appear in an animated film.  That film being "Transformers" from (1986).  Just a really energetic, rocking song.

We've been covering the development of writer/director Ryan Shovey's inaugural feature film Hunter with some interest here on the site and on the show. Just last week we presented you with the poster for the upcoming slasher film. Now we've got another groovy offering from the production: the theme music!

As for what the film is about: a group of college kids try to figure out who is killing their friends while unraveling an unresolved string of murders from twenty years prior and connecting them to the recent killing. To learn more, just head on over to Ryan's official blog . Now a little something for your ear holes:

When a filmmaker named John Carpenter screened his first horror movie, Halloween, for a young studio executive at 20th. Century Fox he did so without the music. She bluntly told Carpenter his film wasn't scary, that it didn't work. So the director and composer set out to "save it" with music. The score he composed, and the chilling film he made, have become fixtures in popular culture. Tonight, on a special episode of Film Reviews From the Basement, The X's own Rev. Steve of Do Not Touch This Amp joins us for a discussion on movie soundtracks and their transition from being accompanying music to a big moneymaking business. It's a segment no film or music fan will want to miss. And yes, there will songs. But we are review show, and that means Shawn and I have a couple of reviews for your listening pleasure. First up is the haunted house spookfest 100 Feet starring former Bond babe Famke Janseen and John Fallon of Arrow In the Head. Then we turn the executione...
