Death Waltz Recording Co. may be home to some of the scariest music around, but it doesnt mean that we dont get into the Christmas spirit every now and again. In that tradition, heres our idea of X-mas cheer: we present the release of Perry Botkins jolly old score to the controversial 1984 slasher SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT.

Composer Botkin is no slouch in the recording world, arranging for Bobby Darin, Harry Nilsson, & Barbra Streisand. His score for SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT is both chaotic and tragic; crashing sounds of distorted percussion are punctuated by both synth and acoustic piano, reflecting the sheer damage that has been done to Billys mind. The end result is both emotional and terrifying, even more so with the selection of original Christmas songs as composed by Morgan Ames that are spread amongst the films soundtrack.

A word of caution: If you dont have SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT on the turntable this Christmas well have to tell Billy that youve been naughty. Consider yourselves warned.
