Well Mondo is finally releasing Bram Stoker's Dracula. Feel like this has been in the works for ages.

Deep in the Carpathian Mountains, in the country of Transylvania, lies the castle of one who would have domain over all evil on Earth ... and with that blood and the fury comes the captivating and hypnotic music of BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA. Directed by cinema legend Francis Ford Coppola, the film looks back to the original 1897 text for a unique, blood-soaked vision. For the score, Coppola picked the great Polish composer Wojciech Kilar, whose brooding themes and dark choral textures have become the standard for the music of vampiric cinema. Working with Coppola's vision of the film as a tragic love story, Kilar conjured up a heartbreakingly beautiful, yet violent, tone poem that exquisitely encapsulates the darkness and passion of Stoker's classic narrative. However, love never dies, and neither does great music.
Another unnecessary gatefold single LP
They also released Ben Lovett's new score to The Night House on Friday which is still available. I'm curious to see the film as it's been getting decent reviews from festivals.

And last up is the new BWR release for The Stylist which had a pretty damn good score. I only have money for Dracula this week so hoping this one sticks around for a bit and I'll grab a copy.
