Howard Leslie Shore (born October 18, 1946) is a Canadian composer, notable for his over 80 films scores. 

He is also a consistent collaborator with director David Cronenberg, having scored all but one of his films since 1979.
Videodrome is a 1983 Canadian science fiction body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg.

The original score was composed for Videodrome by Cronenberg's close friend, Howard Shore.
The score was composed to follow Max Renn's (played by James Woods) descent into video hallucinations, 

starting with dramatic orchestral music that increasingly incorporates and finally emphasizes electronic instrumentation.

To achieve this Shore composed the score for an orchestra before programming it into a Synclavier II digital synthesizer.
The rendered score, taken from the Synclavier II, was then recorded being played in tandem with a small string section. 

The resulting sound was a subtle blend that made it difficult to tell which sounds were real and which were synthesized.
The soundtrack was released on vinyl by Varèse Sarabande and was re-released on compact disc in 1998.
Videodrome's cult status has made it a popular source for sampling in electro-industrial, EBM and heavy metal music. 
It ranked tenth on the top 1,319 sample sources list of 2004.

Fabio Frizzi (born July 2, 1951) is an Italian composer, best known for his film scores he produced 

for the legendary Italian horror director Lucio Fulci. 

His soundtrack work, (featured in films such as "Zombi 2", also known as "Zombie Flesh Eaters", 

"City of the Living Dead" and "The Beyond"), is minimalistic and highly atmospheric, 

featuring heavy use of synthesizers and slow, repetitive rhythms.
"The Beyond" (original Italian title "...E Tu Vivrai Nel Terrore! L'ALDILA'", 

also released as "Seven Doors of Death") is a 1981 Italian horror film directed by Lucio Fulci. 

The second film in Fulci's unofficial Gates of Hell trilogy 

(along with "City of the Living Dead" and "The House by the Cemetery"), 

"The Beyond" has gained a cult following over the decades, in part because of the film's gore-filled murder sequences, 

which had been heavily censored when the film was originally released in the United States in 1983.

Type O Negative was a gothic/doom metal band from Brooklyn, New York City.
Their lyrical emphasis on themes of romance, depression, and death 
resulted in the nickname "The Drab Four" (in homage to The Beatles' "Fab Four" moniker).
The band went Platinum with 1993's "Bloody Kisses", and Gold with 1996's "October Rust", 
and gained a fanbase through seven studio albums, two best-of compilations, and concert DVDs.
On April 14, 2010, lead vocalist, bassist, and principal songwriter Peter Steele died, reportedly from heart failure.
Members Kenny Hickey and Johnny Kelly stated in a November 2010 interview that the band would not continue.
Type O's "October Rust" picked up where "Bloody Kisses" left off, 
this album continued to explore themes of sex and sensuality, explored in a humorous sense on the single 
"My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" and then taken much darker with "Love You To Death". 
This record also saw a cover of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" as well as the fan favorite, "Green Man".
