CUJO (MUSIC FROM MOTION PICTURE)

Limited edition black and brown oSt. Bernardo vinyl LP pressing. Ah, life in the countrya such bucolic bliss. Until your neighborAEs dog contracts rabies, kills its owner, and then comes after you! With such emotional extremes, Cujo was not an easy movie to score, but when Stephen KingAEs classic novel came to the screen in 1983 starring Dee Wallace and Daniel Hugh Kelly with Lewis Teague directing, composer/conductor Charles Bernstein (A Nightmare on Elm Street) proved mightily up to the task. In addition to employing harsh synthesizer effects and dissonant orchestral layers leading up to the climactic showdown between Mom and beast, Bernstein also penned a tender theme expressing the gentle joys of family life. Unfortunately, post production woes mixed up some cues and caused the score to be abbreviated in the film; IntradaAEs recent CD release presented BernsteinAEs work for the first time as it was originally recorded, and thatAEs where the 18 tracks on our first-ever vinyl release come from, with new (and terrifying) cover art.'
