Enzo Sciotti (1944-2021), ‘Demons’ (1985)
“A group of people are trapped in a West Berlin movie theater infested with ravenous demons who proceed to kill and possess the humans one-by-one, thereby multiplying their numbers.”
A very, and I mean VERY, distant cousin to this film is 1988′s ‘Night of the Demons’ (heavily cribbing its camera work and plot from ‘The Evil Dead’). For me, it was a VHS Halloween staple that features a dance scene that feels like an interpretive dance of the birth of goth. (Now that I think about it, Amelia Kinkade might just be a precursor to Fairuza Balk in 1996′s ‘The Craft’)
Non-dubbed version of ‘Demons’
JUST GOT TO SEE A SHOWING WITH @basketcase1982 OF DEMONS W/ GOBLIN PLAYING TH SOUNDTRACK LIVE + A SETLIST OF A BUNCH OF THEIR OTHER THEMEWORK W/ DARIO ARGENTO & GEORGE ROMERO...
o heya so i uhh created a somewhat iffy transcription of the soundtrack version of Death Valzer (that song that plays during practice when Suzy faints)
i say "somewhat iffy" because although it is 1000% accurate to the note, there are some parts where the hands/fingers awkwardly overlap (not to mention the right hand eternally playing octaves). i'm pretty sure the actual recording used two separate takes for what i have transcribed here as the left and right hand parts, which is why these issues exist :/
i suggest using this score as a guideline but ultimately playing what feels right/comfortable. otherwise, play it with a friend on a separate piano
also i'll be working on a transcription of the in-film version which is slightly different. but anyway
You might assume that the ideal way to watch the 1985 supernatural Italo horror Demons would be to see it projected in the oldest operating cinema in town, in our case the original location of The Prytania. In the film, a group of strangers are gifted free tickets to a mysterious horror film at an ancient cinema that has materialized out of the urban void. That movie turns out to be a gory…

10/2/23- Last night I saw Goblin for the second time. They played during a screening of Demons! It was a lot of fun! They also played a lot of other awesome music!
