How to write 80's Horror music in 1 minute

How to write 80's Horror music in 1 minute by Desmond Doom
Came up with this last minute and thought it'd be good to jump on the Halloween bandwagon. Enjoy!
Love to John Carpenter!

[@DesmondDoom]

Fun fact: We don't do Halloween in Australia because kangaroos come out at sundown and steal our children. Favourite 80s Horror movie, go! Mine is "Brazil" (Gilliam is a madlad)

[@danieldeholes2906]

hellraiser

[@DrummerDucky]

Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, The Serpent and the Rainbow, Society, Prince of Darkness, The Believers, The Blob, The Gate, Night of the Comet. These are pretty tubular.

[@dorkbrandon4422]

Herbie goes Bananas

[@wherestherevolution]

The Shining definitely!

[@p1nh3dlarry72]

Evil Dead 2

[@MinorArth]

Great, you just nailed the Kavinsky formula !

[@christopherdieudonne]

0:51 This actually slaps! I could totally hear this remixed into a great dance track.

[@justanotherspook447]

got that John Carpenter wave

[@jayerjavec]

Not at all.

[@spinglasshydra]

Clever, very clever..... !!!!

[@nemonucliosis]

yeah, its pretty much halloween theme

[@gamerman7276]

You could've easily titled this video "How to Carpenter Brut in 1 minute"

[@CleoDog]

Legitimately needs to be on your next album

[@CleoDog]

With lyrics

[@wildmanfisher]

The 80's were blessed with so many horror classics. The 1st 'Elm St.' was my first horror obsession. Later came Evil Dead and Return Of The Living Dead (with a great big helping ng of comedy in the gruesome story) and Braindead (same deal). Also I loved The Gate and Phantasm III (the first was the best but is not from the eighties)

[@wildmanfisher]

Totally forgot about the first two Hellraiser movies and The Shining. Damn there are so many

[@Goallpeashooters]

would love to see one of these "in 1 minute" videos for Radiohead! Would love to see which of their many, MANY styles you would choose to replicate! (Would also seriously help in my own songwriting abilities)

[@Navinrjohnsonspecialpurpose]

You should have a million subscribers. Gold content! Pure 80s Horror: Fright Night!

[@DesmondDoom]

Cheers buddy, I'd be happy with just a few quality ones!

[@mangauniversity]

Nah. Not a million. Just 666,666.

[@ratlungworm7035]

Return of the Living Dead is my all time favorite. Came out in '85, the year I was born, and was the first horror movie I remember feeling true horror after it was revealed that those zombies could not be killed, and the fate of humanity was sealed.

[@nunkinunki6920]

loving this :DD the random vincent price laugh really sells it ) favourite 80s horror: my bloody valentine and phenomena !

[@RCAvhstape]

FAvorite 80s horror flick is The Thing (1982), dir. John Carpenter, music by Ennio Morricone, in the style of John Carpenter.

[@spinglasshydra]

Desmond, your the only guy who creates such a huge sound, out of the tiny-ist instruments..... !!!! It make you look like a giant ― It's Desmond-wave, It's the genre you never intended to make, that has blossomed for-thwarts.....

[@DesmondDoom]

Haha never thought of that! They're very uncomfortable for my Shrek fingers

[@idlerwheel]

This is a bop. Well played

[@tonysine6577]

That was truly awesome!

[@adamv242]

The Lost Boys. Not a pure 'horror' movie but still one of the best.

[@sarcastyx7832]

So great!

[@BiboyHernandez]

This is what every rip-off of Halloween did.

[@DesmondDoom]

Pretty much!

[@heindijs]

This is awesome. You should try making a Talk Talk song sometime

[@stevehill8657]

This is awesome!

[@jasonmiller3167]

Historically accurate. I was a fan of the Hellraiser movies.

[@danielktdoranie]

This slaps as the kids say

[@trianglerecords]

Always so cool 👍🙏

[@gabrielsroka]

Halloween, Alien, Phantasm

[@michaelmolitor1888]

Best 80's horror: The Evil Dead or the original Nightmare on Elm St from 84! 👻👻👹👹

[@LANGI902]

Good choices. I have to give it to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, though!

[@wildmanfisher]

​@@LANGI902 Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a 70's horror movie. A gem in the genre but not an eighties horror

[@LANGI902]

@wildmanfisher My Bad! Forgot about the decade, haha.

[@TheMusikettie]

Cool Dark wave music! What about Clan Of Xymox?

[@dupekkurwano]

This is brilliant! Especially the bunny!

[@swettyspaghtti]

I listen through Ref monitors THAT SYNTH BASS WAS A VIBE

[@DesmondDoom]

It goes hard ey

[@ToluRobertson]

The wolf slaps

[@CatharticCreation]

thats....incredibly effective. plus nice shirt

[@johnnybluezz]

[@NotUrMourningstar]

This is my favorite bauhuas song

[@joelcaron8291]

The secret here is... Just play in 5/4 .. Love your stock man Thanxx 🎉😊

[@drinkawater7477]

Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning. Great kills, nudity, and Pseudo Echo

[@fredh9808]

Favourite 80s Horror movie? The Thing, by Carpenter, and it's funny, cause you made a totally "song/soundtrack made by Carpenter", but he didn't compose the music for The Thing

[@edwardcamp3376]

My favorite 80s horror film is "Wall Street"

[@navicurseadomensoimbecil3859]

London After Midnight goin fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@xliondj8269]

awesome video mate. can you share the notes you used for further understanding. awesome content

[@agerestriction5888]

I love how you make seem so simple LOL maybe it is i have zero knowledge in music produce

[@josh.coote.guitar2907]

Id love to see one of these for The Chameleons, criminally underrated band

[@TAZMANIANtornadoe]

I want that shirt right now mister

[@PedroHernandez-hg8zy]

favorite horror movie is The thing

[@oogaftw]

Literally the whole of Carpenter Brut.

[@blueraven6693]

IT's DONNIE DARKO!!!

[@chriscoll6493]

Near Dark, with Bill Paxton.

[@Cumasyouare69]

do how to write a Ratt song in 1 minute...been waiting for that one...

[@rachel_sj]

My spouse and I saw The Thing for the first time on the screen last week for a sold out pre-Halloween showing. That film has the best horror soundtrack and nothing (during Spooky Season or other seasons in the year) can scare me as much as that film did and the score was a huge reason for that!

[@ShimmySnail]

Favorite 1980s horror film? That's a tough one. Maybe John Carpenter's remake of The Thing.

[@SewerTapes]

This track kicks so much ass.

[@izzystradlin7794]

How to Beatles next please! To be specific, how to Beatles ( Sgt Pepper era- Strawberry Fields) era.

[@noahsherwood2445]

In reality this is also how you make a darkwave track

[@annihilation777]

Are you still doing guitar/bass lessons on patreon?

[@qualquerum1560]

hahaha i love your videos

[@webspaghetti]

Favourite: The Omen, a proper horror movie for grown-ups

[@TheD2JBug]

just another subgenre of darkwave lol

[@destroysoloist]

i need that shirt

[@rutherfrogp.wilmington4907]

House (1986) with William Katt, George Wendt, and Richard Moll

[@melissavance1023]

Evil dead!!

[@teawithmilkandsugar3045]

The 1933 version of The Invisible Man.

[@mrcodhead67]

😂 Brilliant.

[@miguimau]

Always Carpenter. :)

[@planetofthegapes]

Awooooo

[@julianhermanubis6800]

"The Fog" (1980).

[@metaled7231]

Night of the Demons

[@pmc1649]

Return of the living dead was brilliant!

[@grzegorzkowalski5100]

A title most of you will not know: "Przyjaciel wesołego diabła" ("A friend of a merry devil"), a 1985 Polish film rated "all audiences". Eerie filters, creepy forests and caves, and the title character - a devil strolling around with a man-size fork... Seeing it at the cinema was a most traumatic experience of many Polish children. I am 40+ now and still would not like to see it for the second time 😣

[@justanotherspook447]

Re-Animator! (1985)

[@drillerdev4624]

Carpenter tunnel syndrome

[@jos_t_band3912]

Indochine

[@uxartmusicvideo-andphotogr2043]

Best horror movie soundtrack is original 1974 Texas chainsaw massacre soundtrack. 80's was periode when horror movies where also comedy films and more scaryer than 21 century horror films what are trying to be taken seriously but are rather comedic and funny.

[@bruh9459]

do nirvana

[@AndrewDasilvaPLT]

Can I license this song? Srsly.

[@DesmondDoom]

Haha I might have to flesh it out

[@AndrewDasilvaPLT]

@@DesmondDoom only need like five seconds for an opener~

[@kyouzavamps4966]

Rambo

[@dorkbrandon4422]

To get 80s horror just play in the same style as Chris De Burgh
