My bother was hired as an extra. He is one of the football players running accross the field after the nerds put Tiger Balm in their jocks. Got paid $60 for his 10 sec cameo. Ha! – Bruce, Dallas, TX.

Though they do have a passing resemblance to the Beastie Boys. Kidding, kidding. Great movie suggestions, afro -- taken to heart! Got some more suggestions, too.

I will never forget that movie. When the Nerds came out to do their synth mayhem, a few girls literally got up out of their chairs in the movie theatre and proceeded to dance and cheer up and down the ailses. I could not believe what I was seeing. It will probably be my last thought when I go out knowing my luck. Revenge of the Nerds. I will never forget that movie.

Beyond being one sick f*cking movie the soundtrack featured plenty of vintage synth bleeps and bloops, especially during the kill scenes. Lately I've begun to appreciate the really "killer" (pardon my pun) electronic soundtracks in the horror classics of the 70’s and 80’s. Some electronic horror soundtracks worth noting: Dawn of The Dead Day of The Dead – Composed by John Harrison, who is better known nowadays for directing the crappy Sci-Fi miniseries remake of Dune. Evil Dead Last House On The Left - Composed by David Hess who played the lead killer "Krug" in the film. Suspiria In particular the music of Goblin was a major contributor to the films of Dario Argento (Suspiria being the most famous) and George Romero (Dawn of The Dead featured many tracks by Goblin, and many of the Italian translations of Romero's films included a replaced score by Goblin) Find out more about Goblin at <a href="http://www.goblin.org" rel="nofollow">goblin.org</a> ATA Last night I watched Wes Craven’s “Last House On The Left”.
