John Massari’s Reimagined Killer Klowns From Outer Space soundtrack

May 17, 2018

New recording follows May 19th live orchestral concert of Massari’s classic synth score

KKFOST Reimaged OST.jpgOn May 25, Varese Sarabande will release the eagerly awaited reimagined soundtrack to to the 1988 Chiodo Bros cult classic, KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE. This project has been a labor of love for composer John Massari.  He spent two years assembling a top-notch Hollywood orchestra, enlisting famed composer Bear McCreary (THE WALKING DEAD, OUTLANDER, COLOSSAL, GOD OF WAR video game) and asked the Dickies to record a new version of the theme song.  This release will appeal to the large cult following for the movie as well as those who love thematic, orchestral film music.
