Gremlins Music Video (Jerry Goldsmith)

video thumbnail
After a month off from making videos I decided to get to work once more. This time with a music video of 'Gremlins' (1984). This is one of my favorite movies ever, and great for the Christmas season. The movie is based on a script written by a young Chris Columbus who sold it to Steven Spielberg. The story was a lot darker back then, but when Spielberg asked Joe Dante to direct the project took a whole different turn. Dante discovered how funny the creatures could be and decided to make it a horror/comedy.

'Gremlins' is about an inventor named Randal Peltzer (Hoyt Axton) who buys his son Billy (Zach Galligan) a special gift for Christmas. A Mogwai called Gizmo. It comes with three simple rules; don't expose it to sunlight or it will die, don't get it wet and most importantly never feed it after midnight. Of course it is bound to go wrong and within days the town of Kingston Falls is overrun by little green monsters; Gremlins!

The soundtrack was composed and conducted by the famed Jerry Goldmsith. This must be one of his most creative music ever, with the touching Gizmo theme, the quirky town theme and the memorable Gremlin Rag.

A special thanks goes out to Aldabarran for supplying the soundtrack. For more rare movie soundtracks visit his channel at: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Aldabarran
