Dying to rot your brain with a “comedy that kills”? Then Zombieland might be the ticket. On this Slashback Friday we salute David Sardy and his brilliant score that keeps us from losing our shit on a ferris wheel.
We had no idea what a legend Mr. Sardy (or should we call you New York?) is with his work with Oasis, Jet, and LCD sound system. This man can bring the terror to film and to wax. Bravo Mr. Sardy…bravo
Shhhh…seriously don’t make a noise. On this Slashback Friday we salute Marco Beltrami who we hope survived composing the score for A Quiet Place considering he had to make noise.
Shhhhh…but did we mention Marco is a complete legend and also scored Scream? Shhhhhh! 🤫
On this Wickedpedia Wednesday, we bring you the ominous origin story of an 80’s aerobic anthem. As a sweat covered, aspiring young dancer strenuously trains to the sound of Michael Sembello’s synth classic pop hit, “Maniac” at the intro of drama/romance flick, Flashdance, the last thing you think of is horror.
But the original intention of this song had a much darker story. Later changed for the film, the original chorus lyrics were:
‘He’s a maniac, maniac that’s for sure. He will kill your cat and nail him to the door’
Sembello’s songwriting partner, Dennis Matkosky, got the idea for the song after seeing William Lustig’s film ‘Maniac’, about an NYC serial killer who stalks his victims. Even crazier, the song wasn’t even meant for Flashdance at all; the song was accidentally included on a tape to Paramount Pictures for consideration in Flashdance.

Only a true hardcore metal band can stab you straight through your heart whilst serenading you with bellowing operatic vocals and heavy metal riffs of insanity. So what should this new wave 1980’s British heavy metal rock band be named?
When forming the band, bassist, Steve Harris asked why not title it after a medieval torture sarcophagus, lined with interior spikes and meant to impale its victim when slammed shut?
