I enjoy how the theme during the opening credits really fools you. It makes it sound like it's going to be some fun, light movie for the whole family but it's definitely not. I love the juxtaposition against the dark, eerie scenes.

Superb orchestral soundtrack. Sounds much better in stereo. One of the first Varese Sarabande releases I ever bought (along with Dawn of the Dead). Ironically, producer Yablans hated it and wanted a cheap Halloween-style synth track — hilarious.

Although released originally in mono, there is a 5.1 remix on the 20th anniversary disc. Don’t know if subsequent editions retained that. The version on Tubi now is plain mono.
