About The Dead Matter movie

Gothic Horror Soundscape masters, Midnight Syndicate bring their nightmarish visions to the big screen with the supernatural thriller The Dead Matter (coming 2009). Co-produced by Robert Kurtzman (From Dusk Till Dawn, co-founder KNB FX) and starring Andrew Divoff (Lost, Wishmaster), Jason Carter (Babylon 5, Angel), and Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Grindhouse), The Dead Matter tells a story of vampirism, the living dead, and ancient occult relics all drenched in the dark and shadowy world of Midnight Syndicate's music. Classic horror with unique twists and turns in a story-driven horror film that promises to deliver for fans of the genre.

About The Dead Matter: Cemetery Gates CD

Beyond the cemetery gates the dead do not rest easily. An ancient Egyptian relic, vampires, and the living dead lurk amongst its shadowy crypts. Midnight Syndicate's signature soundscape and haunting symphonies call you into the world of the undead that inspired the upcoming motion picture . . . .

The Dead Matter: Cemetery Gates, the long-awaited follow-up to The 13th Hour arrives just in time for the Halloween season. Inspired by the themes of vampirism, living dead, and occult relics explored in the upcoming The Dead Matter movie, the new CD was created in the style of Midnight Syndicate's other releases taking listeners on a musical journey into the darkest corners of their imagination.

About Midnight Syndicate

For the past eleven years, Midnight Syndicate have been creating soundtracks for the imagination. Their ten “soundtracks to imaginary films” have sparked the imagination of fans of Halloween, gothic music, heavy metal, the horror genre, the Haunted Attraction industry, and fantasy role-playing games, as well as set atmosphere for television shows, movies, and video games.

Not since Disney’s Haunted Mansion album and The Monster Mash has a musical act made more of an impact on the celebration of Halloween. Whether it’s an amusement park like Universal Studios, a theme park in Siberia, a local haunted attraction, the Playboy Mansion, a Halloween-themed Carnival cruise, an October Monday Night Football game, Misfits concert, the Ellen Degeneres show, or just a neighbor playing it out their window for the trick-or-treaters, Midnight Syndicate’s music has become synonymous with the Halloween season across the globe. They have been credited with elevating Halloween music from a collection of mass-produced and retreaded sound effects tapes into a legitimate genre that has attracted other musicians.

Their signature dark orchestrations and soundscape have carried them into the roleplaying game industry where they recorded the first official soundtrack to Hasbro’s Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game and were the first musical act ever to receive one of the hobby game industry’s top awards (the Origins Award in 2006). In 2007, they ventured back into the film world when they scored Precinct 13’s drive-in thriller, The Rage. In September of 2007, Midnight Syndicate Films completed production of a full-length horror-suspense thriller entitled The Dead Matter. Directed by Edward Douglas, co-produced by Robert Kurtzman (producer of From Dusk Till Dawn, co-founder of KNB FX) the movie will be completed at the end of this year and is scheduled to be released in early 2009 with Midnight Syndicate writing the score. The project marks the largest undertaking in the band’s history.

May 2nd- May 7th, 2009. Take a Paranormal Trip to the Bermuda Triangle! Join Haunted Holidays as we set sail to the Bermuda Triangle/Devils Triangle/Hoodoo Sea! The Bermuda Triangle remains a mystery to this day. Some believe the disappearances are caused by earthquakes, underwater volcanoes, or fireballs which explode the planes and ships. Other point to more supernatural forces... Such as undiscovered magnetic forces, time warps, death rays from Atlantis, or UFO's from outer space!

What do you think?
How would you account for the Disappearances?
Are there any survivors?
Where are they now?
Why can't they be found?

Join us as we set sail on Royal Caribbean's "Grandeur of the Sea" Luxury Liner as we investigate the Paranormal on both LAND and SEA! Space is limited on this one as well. $100 deposit (the deposit goes directly to Royal Caribbean) will save your spot! You can make payments on this trip (up until 65 days prior to when we set sea). Inside Cabins are $767; Outside Cabins are $867 (and we are working on getting the price down). If you want to join us be sure to get your deposit in! Contact me here or at hauntedhillsdlae@comcast.net .
