The Song from Death Shock is called 'A Night on Bald Mountain'. I don't know wrote it but it was used in the Disney movie Fantasia. Am guessing its public domain (like a lot of classical music), Hence why it gets used in a lot of Films.
@@flickflack While Mussorgsky’s original score is in the public domain, the recordings of the score are most likely not. Of course, it would depend on the copyright law in the country where the music was released.
The piece of music from Death Shock is Night on Bald Mountain by the Russian Modest Mussorgsky and has been used in Fantasia, Natural Born Killers and Jabberwocky. Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a favourite, the eyes, the fear in the eyes through the mask and when they find out he didn't do it and they try to prop the pitchfork against the body to make it look like self defense still resonates 30 yrs later. It went straight to VHS in the UK and had a cult following for a while. Rarely mentioned these days.
I think you have one of the best horror channels on the internet. The way you find old forgotten films and the details of how they were made is extremely entertaining.
I love Snob, been a fan for about a decade now!. Don't know if you've heard of Stitched Together Pictures, he's awesome too and I always recommend him.
I saw Evil Dead for the 1st time in 1993. In 5th grade and It changed everything about how I looked at film and filmmaking. I had never seen anything with such devious glee and kinetic energy.
Oh, man... The Evil Dead. There's only a couple movies to truly terrify me and this is one of them. It's an absolute masterclass is making a horror movie. It just doesn't let up.
Speaking of the Evil Dead, I was rewatching The Walking Dead and noticed that the main character Rick. Visits a cabin that clearly reference Evil dead!? Which I know it’s just an Easter egg but I like to think that it’s a universe where Ash failed
Awesome choice on changing your rating system graphics. They look much better and are better defined with the half and whole ones. Maybe you changed this already but it's the first time I've seen it.
Definitely The Evil Dead, Halloween II and Nightmare for me in this block! Awesome episode Josh!! This series is phenomenal!!! Soooo many good movies to come in the future!
This was an awesome year for horror. Dark Night of the Scarecrow is drastically underrated and one of my favorites of all time, and considering what you couldn't put on TV at the time makes it even better. Evil Dead and Halloween 2 are always good but I try desperately to forget anything regarding Halloween: Resurrection, another of the franchise's low points. Can't wait until 1982 gets going.
Dark Night of the Scarecrow use to play on this horror channel my smart TV gets. That same channel played the original Halloween every morning at 7:00 AM.
@@nerdygoth6905 I don't know why my every attempt to say this gets deleted but I'll try again: it was made into a kickass (and very scary) segment of Disney's "Fantasia."
A crazy bad movie that needs to be seen to be believed is "A night to dismember" from 1984, it is by notorious schlockmeister Doris Wishman. It is the most incompetent professional movie I have ever seen, no movie comes even close.
I am shocked you did not mention The Evil Dead was a UK "Video Nasty" that was banned for many years. Owning this could have some prison time and/or a massive fine.
The music from Toxic Avenger is Modest Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. It's also featured in Fantasia, where Bela Lugosi plays Chernabog. Somebody probably beat me to it.
Another great entry, my friend. One slight correction. The name of Nancy Stephens' character in Halloween is Marion CHAMBERS. Marian Crane is Janet Leigh's character in Psycho.
Love the 80s Project, this video, and your whole channel. You've partially inspired me to do a Halloween special Children Of the Corn marathon for my blog. Also this video reminded me that I haven't seen your Halloween Unanswered Questions videos yet, so here's a UAQ for you: are the Halloween and Psycho films connected?
Man, X-Ray and Bloody Birthday used to mix and meld in my mind because of those child actors and I had all these false memories when I'd see one or the other.
This is Halloween time of the year so I guess it makes sense the best horror films of the year were released then. Cause this is definitely the strongest batch so far in 1981
If you haven't had a chance, check out Bruce Campbells book "if Chins could kill". He dedicates alot of the book to that first experimental and often frustrating making of the Evil Dead.. A great read
I have never seen Dark Night of the Scarecrow, and I never will because I was traumatized after watching the Scarecrow episode of Friday the 13th The Series when I was only 5.
Great video. I'm more of a Halloween 2 fan than Evil Dead. I love Evil Dead 2 better, but my favorite is Army Of Darkness. As for the rest of it, Dark Night Of The Scarecrow gave me nightmares,but in a good way. Don't know some of those titles. Madman is good though.
I just discovered Dark Night of the Scarecrow. It's so good. I wish I could find more movies like this one. It's such a gem. I also love Madman. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I think Madman is so much better than The Burning. The characters are so much more likeable and the kills are really cool. I mean, the car scene? It's fantastic!
I've never understood why Halloween was only supposed to be one film(and it WAS supposed to be just be one flim) when the original ends on such a cliff hanger. 🤔🤷♂
"The song Melvin became the Toxic Avenger to"? You seriously don't recognize Massorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain? That's classic(al) horror music there.
i love to share stories about horror movies and what scared me as a kid, what i got to watch cuz my parents, well really only my mom, only gave a shit if i saw a tittayy floppin around on tv as a child, but violence and horror? Have at em!... and i started writing one here, but it got wayyyy too long, so im cuttin out the big comment and usin' er for the inspiration/basis for a video for when i finally launch my own gd TH-cam channel... SO the SHORT version?: I mustve TOTALLY friggin blocked out DARK KNIGHT OF THE SCARECROW, cuz i KNOW i saw it as a kid, barely remember much, but i DO dang remember how TERRIFIED of it i was..... maybe cuz i was like only 5 or 6 years old when i saw it...maybe something just GOT to me, since i saw so much horror as a weee lad....or maybe it's just that damn scary... SO... if someone can correct me if im wrong, and tell me "it aint that scary as an adult," then let me know...if not, if it kinda still holds up, then back me up when i say: "TV movie or not, 5 years old or not... DARK KNIGHT OF THE SCARECROW can quite easily scare the ballbag off ya"
I know this is going to be a long shot but what about the book and story nah it wouldn't count they're going to say the book end story to Twilight zone the movie. But I do nominate when you get up to it flowers in the Attic. That would be the first introduction me and my friends had to like dramatic thriller horror
I would have to say out of this block evil Dead then Halloween II and that order rest of them were hit and miss. Either I've only heard of them or I've seen them but it's been so long it's a bygone era. But yes evil Dead and Halloween too I've seen multiple times matter of fact anytime I get a chance to see them I watch them
I am going to say this about Halloween II it is a good sequel minus the massive part of Laurie Strode/Myers being in a hospital bed throughout most of the movie when they did the same thing again with Laurie in Halloween Kills. But I like the timeline where Laurie is Michel's Sister because we got the Jamie Loyd movies minus 5 and 6 but a great 4th Halloween movie and we also got Halloween H20 and the horrible sequel that was Halloween Resurrection. But I love the Evil Dead movie also I dont think there is any bad movie/season from the show of the series because I have seen every movie and I have enjoyed them all I have seen all of the episodes of season 1 but I could not watch season 2 because I didn't have cable tv at the time. I will agree that Evil Dead is the best movie of 1981 second best is Halloween II
I'll be honest, nothing in evil Dead Friday the 13th nightmare in elm Street Halloween or Texas chainsaw massacre is as creepy as seeing four graves Doug for children with premeditative intent to kill them and you don't see the graves until they're burying one of the kids and they're stuck in the Attic they had a drink each other's blood and they were eating poison cookies dude we would watch this at sleepovers and freak the f*** out So I nominate the flowers in the Attic movie that was released in theaters as a potential sleeper horror movie. I mean come on man they had children's graves okay. You don't see children killed like that and premeditatively planned out for all of them. Check it out and you'll see what I mean
Is there gonna be another 81 episode Josh? Cause I'm pretty sure you still haven't covered Don't Go into the Woods.... Alone, which definitely came out in 1981.

thanks. i appreciate it!
This series and Cinema Snobs review of every 80's movie are some of my favorite series ever on YT.
Cinema Snob doesn’t watch every movie though, thats a noteable distinction
I love Snob, been a fan for about a decade now!. Don't know if you've heard of Stitched Together Pictures, he's awesome too and I always recommend him.
@@scottneil1187 I'll have to check him out. Thanks!
I saw Evil Dead for the 1st time in 1993. In 5th grade and It changed everything about how I looked at film and filmmaking. I had never seen anything with such devious glee and kinetic energy.
Love the pit didn't find it till 2 years ago. Dark night of the scarecrow is great too remember watching it as a kid
So happy Evil Dead got 10/10 🙂 Wondered which movie would be the first do get it.
So few B-grade independent films deserve a 5 out of 5, but that sure as hell is one of them.
YAY for a new episode of this fantastic series!!
I believe the mask in Halloween II also looked different because it was stuffed in a pocket for a long time and had been exposed to cigarette smoke.
Barely started watching, and I love it
The song from Toxic Avenger (and probably a bit more famously, Fantasia lol) is "Night On Bald Mountain" by Modest Mussorgsky
Hello and good Friday everyone.
I have been waiting for this new episode forever now,what a great treat to finish of just another dull everyday week.
Great movies during this episode. Evil a dead & Halloween 2 are awesome, I even liked Pit
the Pit is so much silly fun
@@movietimelinesI remember how the kid in Pit was such a little perv, so a normal 12 year old boy
16:55 YES! It's in the Title!
And you're named in the episode! Could not stop laughing at that, sorry!
Oh, man... The Evil Dead. There's only a couple movies to truly terrify me and this is one of them. It's an absolute masterclass is making a horror movie. It just doesn't let up.
I subscribe to several channels, but this is the only one where I use the bell. This project is awesome and I look forward to each new video.
thank you!

Awesome choice on changing your rating system graphics. They look much better and are better defined with the half and whole ones. Maybe you changed this already but it's the first time I've seen it.
Agreed!
hmm. they're actually the same. i did change them since the '80 episodes, but all the '81 ones have been this same design.
@@movietimelines I must have been podcasting these longer than I've realized!
The Evil Dead was my favourite of the batch.
Definitely The Evil Dead, Halloween II and Nightmare for me in this block! Awesome episode Josh!! This series is phenomenal!!! Soooo many good movies to come in the future!
So many good ones on this one. Evil Dead and Dark Night of the Scarecrow are my favs. Also love Halloween 2 and I actually like and own Madman 😮
I caught that Dr Horrible reference. 😂
Night on Bald Mountain is the song from Death Shock. :)
Thanks for doing this, I'm all in. Can't believe how many of these I've actually seen. Good to hear about those not on my radar.
Another great video! Some awesome one's in this episode! My personal top 3 in this episode:
3. Madman
2. The Pit
1. Halloween II
The music from the Death Shock is "A Night On Bare Mountain"
This was an awesome year for horror. Dark Night of the Scarecrow is drastically underrated and one of my favorites of all time, and considering what you couldn't put on TV at the time makes it even better. Evil Dead and Halloween 2 are always good but I try desperately to forget anything regarding Halloween: Resurrection, another of the franchise's low points. Can't wait until 1982 gets going.
6:55 Blood Simple was referenced in Evil Dead 2 when Jake says, "Crazy buck's gone blood simple!"
20:50 the song in question is A Night on Bald(Bare) Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky. It was more famously used in Disney's 1941 Fantasia
I love each of these...and really everything you do...and I LOVE THAT SHIRT
Being from Tennessee and seeing evil Dead at a very young age it is of course my favorite horror film of all time
Dark Night of the Scarecrow is worth a watch
Madman’s one of my favs
You made the right choice including the made-for-tv Dark Night of the Scarecrow. Good for you.
Cool channel, man. Brings back so much fond memories. Keep them coming.
I really enjoy watching these'80s Project videos. Keep it going !
Dark Night of the Scarecrow use to play on this horror channel my smart TV gets. That same channel played the original Halloween every morning at 7:00 AM.
Night on bald mountain. That's the title.
It's also the music used for the Maxell advert with Pete Murphy in.

Somebody probably beat me to it.
@20:51 is from A Night on Bald Mountain, you can see/hear it on Disney's Fantasia.
Another great entry, my friend. One slight correction. The name of Nancy Stephens' character in Halloween is Marion CHAMBERS. Marian Crane is Janet Leigh's character in Psycho.
I'm not sure, but I think that song for Death Shock is called Escape from Troll Mountain. I think Manheim Steamroller did it on their Halloween album.
An awesome block of movies!
He was also Dr giggles actor from that scarecrow movie

Notice how Sam placed the Hills have eyes poster in the cabin? At least someone respects the original Hills have eyes movie!

Just picked up the new 4k of Nightmare’s in a damaged brain this week
A cracking slice of Sleaze
I love madman mars, kinda reminds me of humongous an 80s Canadian horror film
My first time watching The Evil Dead was on vhs...at a cabin...in the woods. No joke. Permanent scars, sure, but entirely memorable.
If Evil Dead was an amp it would go to 11
Funny, I was born in the 70's and, yup, I already saw all the 80's horror movies.
Thanks, Josh. Really enjoying this series! #JusticeForBenTramer
Loved evil dead & Halloween 2 enjoyed this episode a lot
I have never seen Dark Night of the Scarecrow, and I never will because I was traumatized after watching the Scarecrow episode of Friday the 13th The Series when I was only 5.
The Pit is a Canadian classic, Jamie also had a small roll in The last Chase.
No Blowout, directed by De Palma it had slasher elements several known star and by wiki it came out in June of 1981 so it should be on your list!
Thanks for another great video!
Dark Night of the Scarecrow inspired me so much as an 8 year old that I plagiarized it for a 3rd grade writing assignment!
MR.GRIMZ likes this 👍🏻
Evil dead is my favorite after the exorcist.
EVIL DEAD is the best by far of the year.
Thanks!

November 20, so presumably next time.
Another one from the Video Nasties! And one of the worst. Which is really saying something, because there is a LOT of crap on that list.
there's 2 more episodes for '81, and Don't Go is in the very next one.
