"Scored to Death: The Podcast, the official companion podcast for the critically acclaimed book, Scored to Death: Conversations with Some of Horror Greatest Composers is here!

This week is part 1 of an in-depth conversation with a talented songwriter, music producer composer, whose amazing career dates back to the 1950s. In this episode, the great Barry De Vorzon discusses his early careers in the music, film and TV industries and reveals fascinating stories behind some of TV's greatest themes [including the theme for SWAT and “Nadia’s Theme” from The Young and the Restless], his work with James Brown and Larry Cohen on the soundtrack for Black Caesar, and what it was like working with first-time filmmakers John Milius and Walter Hill. Part 2 may feature Barry's work in the horror genre, but his stories make this episode is an absolute must!"
