Without having watched his remake of Halloween, an already great film, the inclusion of tracks like Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way", Nazareth's "Love Hurts", and Nan Vernon's "Mr. Sandman" on the soundtrack, leads me to believe Zombie has once again bloodied songs that seem more suited for the romantic, party nostalgia of Dazed and Confused. This is what I expect, and part of the reason I prefer Rob Zombie when it comes to the graphically darker side of filmmaking. It is refreshing to have effective irony. First you're shocked at how anyone could think of using such a song at such a moment, and then you realize it works. Like any formula, this may become predictable, but, to this point, I look forward to being appalled, then having Zombie toss in an American lullaby to remind this is a form of art, and he is the conductor.
Without viewing the film, the Halloween soundtrack is a classic mix with terrifying (and humorous) sound bites interspersed, but I'm sure that after viewing the film, the soundtrack becomes a memory of a motion picture experience.
Tracks added to iPod: (Don't Fear) The Reaper, Love Hurts, Baby I Love Your Way (Live), "A Taco Deluxe Supreme", 1969, Only Women Bleed, "Was That the Boogieman?", "The Scream", Mr. Sandman
