Just in time for the season, comes the soundtrack for “Halloween Pussy Trap Kill! Kill!” bringing a fun double-album party mix of Industrial, Hip-Hop, Metal, Punk Rockabilly, old-style Alternative, spooky instrumentals that sound like they might be film score, and one creaky old Doug Kershaw song. Most of the various artists here are lesser-knowns, with 3TEETH and “Every Day is Halloween” from Ministry repping the big name acts, but some of the best entries are from Jyrki 69, Descartes A Kant, and Adoration Destroyed.
Judging by the trailer, the movie is grade-Z schlock that borrows heavily from the Saw franchise and every hot-girls-with-car-trouble-in-the-middle-of-nowhere Horror flick of the past three decades. It doesn’t matter if the film is as great as Pulp Fiction or as awful as Troll 2, but I do speculate that if the soundtrack finds an audience, it could enjoy a longer pop culture life than the movie.
One big apparent missed opportunity: Dave Mustaine provides the voice for the film’s main antagonist. It’s a shame they couldn’t have included a Megadeth song with the others. (“Bad Omen” could have been a nice fit.) Klute's sample of "Skin o' My Teeth" is inspired, but it doesn't count.
