このドラゴンズ・ドメイン・レコードのクラシック・ホラー映画シリーズ第1弾は、デジタル・アウトランドのジェームス・ネルソンによってマスタリングされ、スターログ・マガジンのデイヴィッド・ハーシュとサム・スカリによる独占ライナーノーツが収録されている。THE GOLDEN AGE OF HORROR VOL. 1は限定盤です。
Dragon’s Domain Records proudly presents the first volume in a new ongoing series of music from classic horror films, featuring world premiere releases by the woefully underrepresented composer Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-83). She became Britain’s first female feature film composer when she began accepting commissions to write scores for both Hammer and Amicus studios.
PARANOIAC, as well as the other two films spotlighted on this album, were all directed by Freddie Francis, an accomplished cinematographer widely credited for pioneering the overall look of British horror.
Released in 1963, PARANOIAC was written by Jimmy Sangster and Josephine Tey, starring Janette Scott and Oliver Reed. PARANOIAC tells the story of a pair of dysfunctional siblings desperately awaiting an inheritance. Their scheme is complicated by the sudden return of a brother long thought to have died by suicide.
Released in 1965, DR. TERROR’S HOUSE OF HORRORS is the first film from Amicus Productions to feature an anthology of short story segments penned by producer Milton Subotsky. Similar in spirit to the lurid tales featured in EC Comics titles, Subotsky would later officially adapt material from those very magazines into subsequent films. Peter Cushing stars as a mysterious fortune teller who offers to predict the futures of his five fellow train passengers, which include Christopher Lee and Donald Sutherland.
Also released in 1965, THE SKULL is a psychological suspense film adapted by Subotsky from a story by acclaimed fiction writer Robert Bloch, best known as the author of the novel PSYCHO. Once again, the ever dependable Peter Cushing leads as a collector of esoterica, who comes in possession of the remains of the infamous Marquis De Sade. The long-deceased blasphemer’s skull exudes a power on all who come into contact with it, delivering hallucinations that result in madness and death.
Born in London, the musical education of Elisabeth Lutyens began by learning the violin at the age of eight, eventually receiving more extensive schooling at the Ecole Normal de Musique in Paris and The Royal College of Music. Her compositional style evolved into a methodology known as “Serialism,” a manner of writing said to have originated with Arnold Schoenberg’s twelve-tone technique, wherein the notes of the chromatic scale are randomly organized to form a unifying basis for a composition’s melody, harmony, and structural progressions. Several other composers of note, such as Bela Bartok, Igor Stravinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich, Aaron Copeland, and rock guitar virtuoso Frank Zappa, often used Serialism in their work.
This first volume in Dragon’s Domain Records series of classic horror films has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, featuring exclusive liner notes by Starlog Magazine’s David Hirsch with Sam Scali on the music featured on the album. THE GOLDEN AGE OF HORROR VOL. 1 is a limited edition release.

クラシック・ホラー映画の音楽をリリースするシリーズの第1弾として、あまり知られていない作曲家エリザベス・リュトンス（1906-83）のオリジナル・サウンドトラック３作品収録のCDを世界初リリース。彼女は、ハマーとアミカスの両スタジオから作曲の依頼を受け始め、イギリス初の女性長編映画作曲家となった。
トラックリスト『PARANOIAC』と、このアルバムに収録されている他の2作品は、いずれもフレディ・フランシスが監督したもので、彼はブリティッシュ・ホラーのルック全般を開拓したことで広く知られる、優れた撮影監督である。
1963年に公開された『PARANOIAC』は、ジミー・サングスターとジョセフィン・テイが脚本を手がけ、ジャネット・スコットとオリヴァー・リードが主演。PARANOIAC』は、機能不全に陥った兄妹が遺産相続を必死に待つ物語。彼らの計画は、長い間自殺で死んだと思われていた兄の突然の帰還によって複雑になる。
1965年公開の『テラー博士の恐怖』は、プロデューサーのミルトン・スボツキーが執筆した短編小説のアンソロジーをフィーチャーしたアミカス・プロダクションの最初の作品である。ECコミックスに掲載された薄気味悪い物語に似た精神を持つスボツキーは、後にそれらの雑誌のネタを正式に映画化することになる。ピーター・カッシングが、クリストファー・リーやドナルド・サザーランドら5人の乗客の未来を占う謎の占い師役で出演。
同じく1965年公開の『がい骨』（DVD題：『ザ・スカル サド侯爵の頭蓋骨』）は、小説『サイコ』の作者として知られる高名な小説家ロベール・ブロッホの原作を、スボツキー監督が映画化した心理サスペンスである。今回も頼れるピーター・カッシングが、悪名高いサド侯爵の遺骨を手に入れた秘宝コレクター役で出演している。長い間死んでいた冒涜者の頭蓋骨は、それに触れる者すべてに力を与え、狂気と死をもたらす幻覚を見せる。
ロンドンで生まれたエリザベス・リュトンスの音楽教育は、8歳でヴァイオリンを習うことから始まり、やがてパリのエコール・ノーマル・ド・ミュージックとロイヤル・カレッジ・オブ・ミュージックでより広範な教育を受けた。彼女の作曲スタイルは、アーノルド・シェーンベルクの十二音技法に端を発すると言われる「シリアリズム」と呼ばれる方法論へと発展した。他にも、ベーラ・バルトーク、イーゴリ・ストラヴィンスキー、ドミトリー・ショスタコーヴィチ、アーロン・コープランド、ロック・ギターの名手フランク・ザッパなど、注目すべき作曲家たちが、作品の中でしばしばシリアリズムを使用している。
