Horse Voice: The Soundtrack · 9:49pm Oct 2nd, 2015
Surprise!
One of my other hobbies is putting together themed mix discs. Since much of the Horse Voice bibliography is heavily inspired by music, I thought it appropriate to make one that would perhaps give readers a little insight into the stories' origins. Most of these pieces' influence will be obvious. Others, I'll leave you to guess at.
Since this mix is rather eclectic, not all of it will be to everyone's taste, so I've included time links with the track list in the YouTube page's info bar, which will allow you to skip to different pieces.
Turn up your speakers. 
Track list:

00:52 Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around

I have never been so nervouscited.
(clicks playlist)
Not in a good place to listen right now, but I have to say, that is a fantastic album cover.
John Carpenter, Johnny Cash, Alice Cooper, and Blue Oyster Cult?
As that old guy from the movie 'Conan the Barbarian' said, "That is good...that is good."
"You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...."
Despite the rushed, lackluster third act, that was a damn fine, damn creepy film.
A Horse Voice blog post with a playlist at the start of October? That's the Horse Voice I know! You have anything in the works for the Nightmare Night season? I've been looking forward to a good Dark fic by you this month.

Oops! I forgot to warn you to skip "Roses on White Lace" unless you want to be scared out of your wits.
I'm too late, aren't I.

It's hard to say. Things have been tough these past few months, but I'm now on permanent morning shifts, so I'll be generally less braindead starting next week. Fingers crossed the ol' muse comes back.
Man, that intro.

What movie is that?
Aw dang, I wish I had seen this earlier. Going from Johnny Cash to Sonata Arctica looks like something from my playlists.
I shared this album cover with someone and they said that this really looks like a pony album cover you'd see in Equestria. Totally shocking all the parents with the SKULLS.

Prince of Darkness. The first track is from it.
It's not one of John Carpenter's (Halloween, The Thing) best films because, as I said, I find the climax kind of slipshod and squanders the film's potential, but it's not bad. It's very Quatermass-y. Science team finds liquid Satan in a jar, debates science vs. religion, comes under siege from demonic forces led by Hobo Alice Cooper, that sort of thing.

I'm inclined to agree. Heck, we even saw the CMC use ghoulish props in their stage show, way back in season one.
(And now I realize I forgot to add a "Parental Advisory: Grimdark Content" sticker. It would have made the image perfect.
