Episode 226 of Another Goddamn Horror Podcast features an in-depth conversation with Martin from Blitz/Berlin, the acclaimed punk band turned film score composers. This episode celebrates Graham’s birthday while exploring Blitz/Berlin’s impact on modern horror soundtracks and independent horror cinema. The discussion includes their latest work scoring Steven Kostanski’s film Deathstalker, the creative process behind composing horror movie music, and the transition from punk music to professional film scoring.

A major focus of the episode is Blitz/Berlin’s live performance event honoring the birthday of legendary filmmaker George A. Romero. The conversation highlights Romero’s lasting influence on the horror genre, zombie movies, and independent horror filmmaking. We also discuss the involvement of Tina Romero, music from Queens of the Dead, and the growing popularity of live horror music performances, film score concerts, and immersive horror events.

Additional topics include practical effects in horror films, modern indie horror movies, horror film festivals, and the relationship between music and atmosphere in horror storytelling.
