If you’re a fan of both horror and soundtracks, like me, you know there’s an embarrassment of riches to collect– especially in the current golden age of boutique labels like Waxwork Records and One Way Static. Some of these horror soundtracks are highly uncommon, not because they’re for obscure films or TV series, but because they break the mold in numerous ways.
Read on for some of the most unusual horror soundtracks ever released….
And feel free to add your own oddities in the comments!
Monster In My Pocket (1992)
This might just be the most unusual soundtrack on this list, given that it’s for a toy line! It’s a shame I didn’t pick this up as a kid, because I loved Monster In My Pocket toys and this Halloween-y compilation sounds right up my alley. (I probably would have worn out the cassette playing it year round.

Summer camp beckons for Netflix subscribers once more only this time, the streaming platform will be checking in on our favorite happy campers a full decade after the original film. Yes, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later is officially on course to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2017 – likely around the July timeframe – and you better make it your beeswax to be there on time.
Comprising eight all-new episodes based around Camp Firewood and all the shenanigans therein, it’s understood that Ten Years Later isn’t being considered as a direct sequel to First Day of Camp, last year’s miniseries that brought together the likes of Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper. That trio was just a small portion of the cast that headlined David Wain’s cult original when it graced screens in 2001.
Alas, there’s no word yet on the ensemble that will be...

It began with the 2001 film "Wet Hot American Summer" which followed a group of teenage camp counselors on the last day of the 1981 summer camp season. Much of the cast, at the time mostly in their late 20's and early 30's, went on to become major comic actors.
Then came last year's Netflix limited series revival "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp" which was appropriately set on the first day of the same season with the actors, now mostly well into their forties, still playing teenagers.
Now, Netflix has announced "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later," a follow-up season of eight all-new, thirty-minute episodes which are set to premiere in 2017. This ties back to the original film in which Bradley Cooper's Ben character says: "Let's all promise that in ten years from today, we'll meet again, and we'll see what kind of people we've blossomed into.

Continuing its swift domination of the world’s collective free time, Netflix is apparently moving ahead with a miniseries that will serve as a follow-up to David Wain’s beloved 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer. E! News reports that the series, which will either be a prequel or a sequel to the original film, is set to begin production this January.
Wet Hot American Summer, though hardly seen at the time of its release, starred a ridiculous number of actors who would go on to become comedy A-listers, including Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper and Elizabeth Banks. One would imagine that most or all of the cast members would return for this series, though none of them have yet been confirmed (Netflix also has yet to comment).
In addition to the aforementioned stars, the original film starred Christopher Meloni, Janeane Garafalo, Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio, Molly Shannon,...

Think it’s impossible to make a comedy for just $1.8 million, get it into theatres, and still wind up with a financial disaster? Think again!!! It is almost exactly 10 years since writer-director David Wain did just that with Wet Hot American Summer, his camp movie spoof which starred co-writer Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Meloni, and Joe Lo Truglio, amongst many others.
