Don't go in the House seems like the kind of underground minimal horror stuff that I was so happy to discover when I got into Death Waltz , Waxwork and OWS at their beginnings. Some of these odd and very niche cult horror movie soundtracks have been my favorite surprises in the past. the low key, niche horror, like Black Christmas, Shockwaves, Forbidden World, Slumber Party Massacre... This is the title I'm most interested in getting/discovering in the sub.

At first glance Bride of Re-Animator has never had a vinyl release. It's way cheesier than the original re-animator with it's tacky dramatic themes and it's kind of ugly synth sounds. I feel like a lot of it sounds like a 90's TV show soundtrack. The fact that it's ''Bride'' is probably more exciting than the actual music, but I wouldn't pass on it.

2018's Maniac is kind of an odd choice to place in the sub, I think it's the one least likely to appeal to fans of horror and cult. It's quirky and mellow, goes from moody classical strings to plucking sounds over percussion...wood blocks? a bit of flute like synthesizers... Feels modern, but a bit odd to me outside of the context of the serie, which I liked but wasn't that impressed or engaged by. I guess I feel the same about the soundtrack. I like, but not impressed or engaged by it. I wouldn't buy it if it was on a different label.

Sorcerer is a must, I think it's one of my favorite TD soundtrack and it's one of the first I picked up when I started collecting them. I paid a couple bucks for a used copy. I paid so little for it, I don't mind buying it again on a clean new copy with nice packaging. If it's expanded, great, if not, still want it.

If the Secret soundtrack is a good one, I think this could be an okay sub all in all. with one weak title (Maniac) and one average one (Bride). I like the inclusion of the comic, because I'm buying them anyway, I like the shirt, and the 10% off. But It's 10$US more than last year for international subscriber and I don't want the spiniature, pin, coffee, totebag and slipmat. and I'm low on cash. I think I'm going to try to get the money to sub again because I've been subbing every year since the beginning, and I try to complete the Waxwork collection, but I might be off the sub.
