Vic Mizzy - the name says it all - a long history as a pivotal ace of song - The Addams Family theme was only icing on the cake - Watch William Castle's film THE NIGHT WALKER and you will experience the melding of perfect music to cinema. An under appreciated wizard has departed our realm. Happy Trails, Vic, click, click.

For those of us in our 50's, which were dosed with far too much television as we grew up, have the results, from the musical geneousVic Mizzy, embedded in the deep recesses of our minds. I have a great CD of his most famous movie and TV themes I copied to an MP3 player and I find Mizzy's themes bring about a feel good quality like no other. Mizzy's themes bring back very clearly memories of a very happy childhood. Movies like the Don Knotts film, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken come to mind.
