If you happen to live or be visiting London this holiday season, you’ve got an opportunity for a unique treat: legendary horror composer Simon Boswell will be putting on a rare, one-night-only live concert, performing selections from some of his most well-known scores, including PHENOMENA, SANTA SANGRE, LORD OF ILLUSIONS, DEMONS 2, and many others. What’s more, the evening will also feature some cameos from the directors of these films, including special appearances from Dario Argento and Alejandro Jodorowsky.
The concert is part of an effort to help raise funds for RESURRECTED, an upcoming documentary on Boswell’s life and career to be directed by Jake West. To kick off the evening, West will preview ten minutes of footage that’s already been shot; fans who contribute $500 prior to the concert will get an all-exclusive VIP pass that includes a meet-and-greet with Boswell after the show.
In an age when more and more legendary figures from the horror and genre world are passing away every day, and where the threat of COVID still lingers, it’s heartening that folks are making the effort to preserve these sort of stories before they’re lost, which is something of a mission directive for us here at Daily Grindhouse. So please consider taking a look at the campaign here, and, if you’re lucky enough to be a Briton, do consider checking out that show!
