Disco Theme Over Credits Amazes


I just picked up the Blu Ray today after not having seen this in about 10 years and was amazed by the disco/ 80's electro music playing over the opening credits. I completely forgot about it, but was pleasantly surprised! Cheesy low budget 80's horror at its best. Similar music plays at the grocery store about a half hour later when the bikers are introduced.

Great Post!

Love the music at the beginning of this movie.

Yes, it's one of my favorite horror movie themes of all time. It's so fun and makes you want to get up dance.

The disco music is the only good thing about the entire movie.

Yes, the pulsating music is perfect for the film's intro. It strikes me as a sort of hybrid between disco and adult film music.

III is a treasure as a whole. It's one of my favorites. Then again, they all are... :)

It was even more exciting when you heard in the theater upon it's release.

LOL yah it's a bit funky for a nasty gore-fest but.. in a way almost making fun of itself

Even the Rolling Stones put out disco songs in the early 1980's.
