Terror Vision is thrilled to unveil the debut release of Charles
Bernstein's 1995 score for Rumpelstiltskin, now available on vinyl.
Best-known for his iconic, haunting score to Wes Craven's A Nightmare on
Elm Street, Bernstein's long sought-after, synth-driven masterpiece
seamlessly complements the eerie, suspenseful ambiance of this beloved
video rental store classic. For those unfamiliar with Mark Jones' cult
favorite film, its plot revolves around a 15th-century imp named
Rumpelstiltskin (played by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Max Grodénchik)
becoming trapped within a small jade figurine. In modern-day Los
Angeles, a recently widowed police officer's wife, accompanied by her
baby, stumbles upon a witch's shop and acquires said figurine. This
seemingly innocent act inadvertently unleashes the cackling beast, who
vehemently demands possession of her child. The blending of contemporary
Los Angeles with the timeless Rumpelstiltskin tale injects a fresh and
intriguing dimension into the story. Terror Vision's release of the
film's long-sought soundtrack will delight fans of the film and music
collectors alike, offering the chance to own this exceptional music in
physical formats for the very first time. This very special release
serves as a wonderful opportunity to relish Charles Bernstein's musical
genius and revisit the nostalgic allure of this cherished video rental
store classic.
