Therefore, a lot of information about the music we’ve recorded and some fun photos couldn’t be included in the books. We’ll be putting a lot of that material up here from time-to-time, including some humor we were too embarrassed to have in print.
We have a brand-new MMM contest in which you can win our acclaimed Creature From the Black Lagoon CD autographed by Irving Gertz! Hear the music that Ron Goodwin (probably) wrote for the circus wagon in the early version of The Day of the Triffids! This music cannot be heard anywhere else!

The Creature’s music is back with a vengeance in Revenge Of The Creature!
When Monstrous Movie Music was forming as a label in the mid-nineties and needed a memorable logo, many ideas were tossed around before we made our final decision.
What’s the whole truth on those partial cue titles like “Kay And The Monster, Part 1,” “Tony Visits Port Royale, Part 2,” and “Monster Gets Mark, Part 1?”

Track listing for “Monstrous Movie Music” Track listing for “More Monstrous Movie Music” Track listing for “Creature From The Black Lagoon (and other jungle pictures)” (All right, so technically “track listings” aren’t really bonuses, since they were included in the liner booklets.
