If this one doesn’t scare you. You’re already dead!

“Phantasm” is the theme song for the 1979 horror film of the same name. Indian-born England-based music producer, composer Biddu credited to Captain Zorro recorded an incredibly well arranged big budget disco cover of the song. This theme from the 1979 Don Coscarelli epic focusing on lethal flying chrome spheres that stuck on people’s foreheads resulting in geysers of gore was pressed on blood spattered yellow vinyl.
