ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Rawhead Rex (2021 UK limited edition 15-track 2-LP on Silva Screen Records, the score album for the 1986 horror movie pressed on Stained Glass Red Vinyl. Penned by composer Colin Towns,Rawhead Rex is a nuanced and lush horror score from a hugely talented composer at his best. Based on a short story by Clive Barker (Hellraiser), the Demon, alive for millennia and trapped in the depths of hell, is unleashed on a sleepy local farming community and the only one that can stop Rawhead’s bloody rampage is the historian, desperately racing against time! Housed in a gatefold picture sleeve, a first time release for this long-awaited soundtrack!)

Tracklisting: The long-awaited score album for the 1986 horror movie Rawhead Rex is released on Silva Screen Records on 15th January 2021. The 15-track album is penned by composer Colin Towns, known for The Puppet Masters, Space Truckers, Maybe Baby, Foyle’s War, Doc Martin, Pie In The Sky. Rawhead Rex is a nuanced and lush horror score from a hugely talented composer at his best. The sound of the score grows and withers; from pastoral melodies to screaming brass and orchestral cacophony, back to clear harmony and fragile lines, bringing anticipation and dread to all the right points in the story. The music afterthought, There is a Green Hill Far Away, dissolves the mass of sound into the creepy and fragile, hymn-like vocal track. This enjoyable creature-feature is based on a short horror story by Clive Barker (Hellraiser) and directed by George Pavlou. Released in 1986, the story of Rawhead Rex is set in 1980’s rural Ireland. The Demon, alive for millennia and trapped in the depths of hell, is unleashed on the sleepy local farming community. Remembered faintly through pre-Christian myth, the only one that can stop Rawhead’s bloody rampage is the historian, desperately racing against the time. Tracklisting: 1. Rawhead Rex Main Theme 2. Welcome to Ireland 3. Rawhead Appears 4. Nicholson’s Farm 5. “Just you wait” 6. Boy Runs For His Life Through The Wood 7. Minty – “gotta pee” 8. The Vicarage 9. The Family is Leaving 10. Gussing Opens Book 11. Howard Discovers a Strange Glass Window in the Church 12. Declan Goes Wild in the Church 13. Howard Discovers the Power of the Stone 14. Rawhead Rex End Credits 15. There is a Green Hill Far Away
