S1 E9 • House / Hausu (1977)

“Oh, my! That's naughty”

In this arse-bitingly good episode of Silver Screen Sound Machine, the boys will be wrapping their ears around the soundtrack to the cult-classic Japanese horror comedy - House.

Helmed by the Japanese rock group Godiego this soundtrack spans the genres from naive, nakedly emotional piano pieces, through wild, thrashing, funky jams, Boogie Woogie, Doors-esque jazz, and even ersatz Blues by way of the Cookie Monster.

The soundtrack of House perfectly captures the film's unique blend of horror, comedy, and surrealism, creating a truly unforgettable auditory experience. You will believe a cat can play the piano.

P.S. Why not try taking a drink every time we say the word ‘leitmotif’ and see what happens.
