  • [Synth/Ambient/Electronic/Orchestration/Score/OST] Here is the complete film score to the legendary 1984 B-Movie Horror film: "C.H.U.D." (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) composed by Martin Cooper & David A. Hughes. This complete score was finally released on vinyl back in 2015 by Waxwork Records. For roughly 31 years an official soundtrack to this film was never released and the score material seemed almost impossible to obtain. Whats awesome about the tracks in this video is that they were all extracted and remastered from the original master tapes (meaning that these are the actual authentic tapes that were sent in to the sound editors when they placed the scores in the movie). Let me begin by saying that I couldn't thank Waxwork Records enough because this is one of my all time favorite horror synth scores (hands down!). Rolling Stone even lists this amazing score at number 33 out of 35 in their article titled: "35 Greatest Horror Soundtracks" (and I couldn't agree more). If you guys are fans of early 80's synthesizer work done by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth than you'll LOVE this score. Tracks like: "Entering The Tunnels" (Track 4), "Blood Shower!" (Track 17) & "Cityscape" (Track 18) are so symbolic to their work it's almost as if they could be apart of the scores to 1981's "Escape from New York" or 1983's "Christine". C.H.U.D. is a 1984 American science fiction horror film directed by Douglas Cheek and produced by Andrew Bonime. The title of the movie stands for: "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers" but is also referred to as: "Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal" by some characters in the film. The plot is about a NYC police officer and a shelter manager whom discover the homeless are being taken & transformed into humanoid monsters that live below the city. Through the years, C.H.U.D has gained a devoted cult following amongst B-Movie Horror fans. The film is widely referenced in pop culture to this day via The Simpsons, Archer and more. C.H.U.D. has also served as a launching pad for a bunch of iconic actors such as: John Goodman, Daniel Stern, Kim Greist, Christopher Curry, and John Heard. Both Martin Cooper & David A. Hughes were once members of the legendary British new wave group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). Upon briefly leaving the group in 1981, Cooper and Hughes composed numerous synth instrumentals. Some of these instrumentals came to the attention of Warner Bros. whom eventually hired the two to do the score for "CHUD". According to Cooper, they recorded the score at Amazon Recording Studios in Liverpool on a 'borrowed' emulator sampler synth from OMD, and a Roland SH1. He also states that this score is quite possibly one of the earliest (if not the first!) film score to use sampling techniques as the emulator used was one of the firsts in existence. Overall, this primitive synth score composed by Martin Cooper and David Hughes is a historic collage of electronic compositions that captures the seedy, grim landscape that once embodied early 1980's New York City to it's highest regard. This complete OST soundtrack score was released under Waxwork Records 2015 ('84).

    As a child of the 80s this movie, and maybe in much part due to the music, scared the dog shit out of me. Nice trip down memory lane.
    Also, is it just me, or do the C.H.U.D.s look like the ghouls from Fallout. I think Besthesda might have gotten some inspiration from this film.

    • @apap1586
      @apap1586 Před 2 lety +1

      This is my favorite childhood 80s movie. Saw it in theaters at 6 years old. I own the VHS, DVD and Blu-ray I have a big movie poster in my living room, the refrigerator magnet, I have the book sequel C.H.U.D Lives(which is very faithful to this movie) and have the T-shirt.

    I saw this in the movies in 1984 when I was 6 ; I'm 44 now. I was really hoping to see a true sequel to this movie come out; the closest we ever got to it was C.H.U.D lives. The last track on this soundtrack was never in the movie I have the VHS to DVD and the blu-ray.

  • @joseolea5356
