Jay Chattaway - Maniac OST
Label - Southeast Records
Released - 1980
Style - Soundtrack, Freaky, Psycho, Moody, Analog Electronics, Sketchy
* Maniac is one of the best movies ever made. I've always caught it late late night on TV and thought how awesomely appropriate the weird analog-soaked electronic backdrop was as a soundtrack. It's a psycho movie and highly suggested to those who like to walk on the dark side!
(From MovieGrooves.com):
The superb dark and brooding electronic score to the cult early 80's classic horror/gore movie from William Lustig. Starring the late Joe Spinell (RIP) and Caroline Munro, it's the story of Frank Zito - one of the creepiest mentalists you're ever likely to run into - and his obsession with his dead mother which manifests itself by his brutal killing of young women. This is a disturbing score - made all the more freaky by the use of dialogue from the movie mixed seamlessly into one of the tracks. Kind of like a really dark chill-out CD. A real collectors item - highly recommended.

I've never seen Maniac been described as "one of the best movies ever made" before! I'm going to stick my neck out & say that Joe Spinell was one of the best actors ever...you see his cameos in "Taxi Driver", "Godfather 2" or "Rocky" & he's better than De Niro, Stallone or Pacino in my book. He had an amazing face & voice, perfect for portraying sleazy types.
For my tastes at least, which is heavy on the early 80s horror action - I think Maniac is one of the best ever. Super creepy! And Joe's mustache and funny eye just do his character so much justice.
gotta agree with dom, lol
i'm a horror fan myself, you've got a lot of quality uploads here man
this soundtrack is bad ass, keep up the great work
- natural selection
I am not a good guy, I took from your blog some soundtrack defined as very good in a french book dedicated to some 100 best score, close to "Saturday Night fever" & "The Wizard of Oz" but also a big part of horror movie.
So Thanks
