Howlin' Wolf Records at long last proudly presents the eerie electronic score by composer Tim Krog for the 1980 Ulli Lommel cult classic THE BOOGEY MAN. This premiere CD release of the soundtrack presents the original 1980 program, transferred and mastered, in addition to two bonus tracks of newly arranged and recorded music by up and coming composer Fernando Pereyra.
One of several horror films released at the height of the slasher movie craze of the late 1970s and early 1980s, THE BOOGEY MAN is an effective mashup of supernatural cinema's greatest hits that has developed a strong cult following. Director and co-writer Ulli Lommel was born into a showbusiness family and began his career as an actor in the German film industry in the 1960s. Striking up a relationship with the celebrated filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Lommel went on to collaborate with him on over twenty projects.
All creative and production work on THE BOOGEY MAN soundtrack was done by Synthe-Sound-Trax in their Hawthorne, California studios. Synthe-Sound-Trax consisted of Tim Krog, Jan Bartlett, and Ed Christiano. Composer Tim Krog studied film scoring at UCLA and has created music for film, television, and radio but is probably best know for his work as the composer for THE BOOGEY MAN.
THE BOOGEY MAN features a 16-page booklet with frightfully stunning designs by Luis Miguel Rojas and liner notes authored by soundtrack aficionado Jason Comerford, including reflections by Director/Co-Writer Ulli Lommel.
