Something Weird this way comes on Black Friday

Modern Harmonic dives deep into Something Weird's vault of cult film soundtrack madness for a boffo 2LP set.

Take an auditory trip through a wacky world of oddball and obscure “classick” exploitation cinema soundtracks from the 1960s and early 1970s, presented by one of the most beloved genre film video companies of all time… Something Weird! Two LPs chock-full of oddities and earworms with great sets of liners and track-by-track factoids!

Something Weird Video was founded in 1990 by Mike Vraney in Seattle, Washington. He was inspired by his teenage job as a theater projectionist. His love for the obscure films that never made it to video prompted him to transfer hundreds of ancient reels of film to VHS and DVD. Although Mike passed away from lung cancer back in 2014, his partner, visual artist Lisa Petrucci now runs Something Weird Video (see clip below) which still specializes in bizarre low-budget exploito films of the '30s through the '70s. Iconic purveyors of the lost and the strange, Something Weird Video have partnered with Modern Harmonic to bring you Something Weird: Greatest Hits – 2LPs of the greatest songs and soundbites from their voluminous catalog of filth and general grindhouse fodder.

After the Art Zone feature clip on Something Weird Video's Lisa Petrucci, check out the Something Weird: Greatest Hits promo trailer featuring Lee Dowell's "Black Belt" from the 1966 classic Teenage Gang Debs followed by Joe Bisko's "Beware Of The 4-D Witch"
