Death Waltz Recording Company is proud to exhume another classic soundtrack from the world of horror cinema with Bruno Nicolai’s incredible score to the 1981 Emilio Miraglia giallo The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave (aka La Notte Che Evelyn Usci Dalla Tomba). The film is as mad as its title; Evelyn is dead before the film even begins, and her previously institutionalized husband Alan, who has begun to murder strippers as a form of “therapy”, is duped by his cousin, his only living heir who has an agenda of his own. Oh, and there’s the matter of Evelyn’s resurrection, not to mention a whole dose of other murders it’s unreal.

Adding to the surrealism of the situation is Nicolai’s deranged score that mixes super effective jarring orchestral with electronic effects and speed jazz that has truly disconcerting time signatures. It’s absolutely creepy and utterly terrifying, with queasy quivering synthesizers that sound like an entire waves of insects, and the juxtaposition of a fantastic bass line with a sawing string effect that is just sickening. And then there’s the beautiful typical romantic giallo melody that really stands out, with vocals courtesy of the iconic Edda Dell’Orso. (Charlie Bridgen Editor: Films On Wax)
