GowlerMusic are offering a pack of 50 samples – featuring both dialogue and FX from various old movies and shows, completely free to download AND royalty-free – a great way to kickstart a song idea or something to manipulate to add a bit of interest in an already-existing track. Well, now you don’t have to rummage through dozens of hours of terrible old movies (though you should) to find usable stuff. Also – early Wu-Tang Clan, anyone?Īnd it’s no wonder, too – there’s something about the buzzy, mid-heavy sound of older movies that’s just immediately inspiring. Artists have been doing that forever – White Zombie sampled ‘Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!’ on ‘Thunder Kiss ‘65’, Kate Bush sampled ‘Night of the Demon’ on ‘Hounds of Love’, and even the Fab 4 sampled a radio production of ‘King Lear’ on ‘I am the Walrus’.Įntire genres like horror punk and psychobilly are built on starting tracks with some obscure 50s/60s movie sample. Something about that movie made me want to extract the audio track and cut up some of the cooler lines and use them as intros for track. Something about the terrible absurdity and campiness just spelled peak human condition to me.Īnyway, back in 2007 I watched Fred Dekker’s 1986 classic ‘Night of the Creeps’, possibly the greatest movie ever made and a crowning achievement in high art.
