Classic Horror Experience is a unique audio-visual experience presented periodically by award-winning composer Jason Frederick, who composes and performs original scores to classic horror films.
On this occasion, the film in question is White Zombie, Victor Halperin’s 1932 classic, starring Bela Legosi. The film is considered to be the first feature-length zombie film, and the archetype for all that followed. Lugosi’s performance of ‘Murder’ Legendre is considered one of his best. See it now for the first time with an original score from beginning to end.
Jason Frederick’s film and television credits include Disney’s 101 Dalmations II: Patch’s London Adventure, Top Gear USA, and the recently updated classic documentary, Bela Lugosi: The Forgotten King, amongst many others.
“Jason Frederick…has carved out a very healthy cultural niche for himself with his musical productions.” - Neil D’Arcy-Jones, Essex County Standard
“The work of Jason Frederick features horror and beauty at their most profound.”
- Richard Jack Smith, Hip-Notic Soundtrack Reviews, Jekyll and Hyde.
