Beyond the Door III (aka Amok Train) - Vinyl Soundtrack LP

Ship to Shore PhonoCo. is proud to present Carlo Maria Cordio’s original score to Beyond The Door III (aka Amok Train), on vinyl for the very first time! A simply gobsmacking head-on collision of The Omen & Runaway Train, amalgamated with classic Italian cinema nightmare-logic storytelling, Beyond The Door III continues the franchise’s trend of having no relation to other entries in the series to great effect. A group of American students travel to a remote village in Yugoslavia for a school trip, but immolation, Satanic rituals, and a particularly devilish train turns this journey to the Balkans into a one-way trip to HELL! Carlo Maria Cordio’s ethereal soundtrack sets the stage and keeps the movie’s phantasmic ambience fully on track, replete with dark soundstages and frightful stings. Cordio employs some of the classic horror musical tropes but with that late 80s synthesiser sound — expect church organs, ghostly choirs and spectral strings blended to create a score that is both imposing and airy in the way that only Carlo Maria Cordio could do. Now finally pressed on vinyl, in a limited edition hot “Good Soup” pink variant and featuring liner notes from the movie’s director Jeff Kwitny, this is one LP release that horror film soundtrack fans will definitely not want to miss!
