Pino Donaggio's Expanded Howling Soundtrack

By: Randall Larson
Date: Thursday, September 29, 2005

La-La Land Records has released, for the first time on CD, Pino Donaggio's immortal score to THE HOWLING, digitally remastered from the original ¼-inch album master tapes. Directed by Joe Dante and co-written by John Sayles, this film remains a touchstone of contemporary horror, mixing classic scares with a still-relevant satiric look at media-obsessed culture while proffering a classic entry in cinema's werewolf mythology. Donaggio (DRESSED TO KILL, BODY DOUBLE, CARRIE) anchors all the film's suspense, chills and eroticism with his legendary orchestral score. The CD features bonus tracks and exclusive liner notes from the composer.
