After a three-year hiatus, “Sean Keller & Friends” are back from the dead with the release of the fourth installment of Keller’s “The Killer Sounds of Halloween” album series, the latest titled “The Final Chapter,” which is available now exclusively on Bandcamp.
Like the three previous “The Killer Sounds of Halloween” albums, this 18-track mixtape features genre-hopping, spooky songs from fictitious bands, “lost” horror movie trailers, and Halloween radio ads from an alternate universe. Keller composed, performed, and produced it. It also features performances by guest vocalists and musicians who are best known as actors, writers, and directors in the world of horror.
Joining Keller for “The Final Chapter” is Shannon Purser (actress, “Stranger Things”), Aurora Perrineau (actress, “Kaos”), Gigi Saul Guererro (director, “Satanic Hispanics”), Chelsea Stardust (director, “Satanic Panic”), Chris LaMartina (director, “WNUF Halloween Special”), Melissa LaMartina (producer, “For Sale by Exorcist”), Michael Varrati (director, “Fangoria Chainsaw Awards”), Fayna Sanchez (actress, “Creepshow”) and many more.
Songs from the previous “The Killer Sounds of Halloween” albums have been featured in the motion pictures “Halloween Kills,” “Halloween Ends,” “It’s a Wonderful Knife,” and “The Manor.”
“My deep, nostalgic, borderline maniacal love of the Halloween season is what drives the creation of each song, and I only hope that the love and joy comes through on each track… even the really dark ones,” says Keller of “The Killer Sounds of Halloween: The Final Chapter.”
The fourth track from “The Final Chapter,” “Come Be the Night,” featuring vocals by Shannon Purser, can be streamed for free until October 7, 2024.
