Italian horror veterans bring their bone-chilling soundtracks to life next month.

As part of this year’s Film4 FrightFest, prog-rock ensemble Goblin are to perform their original scores for George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead and Dario Argento’s Suspiria at two special screenings in London.

Led by Brazilian-born Italian composer Claudio Simonetti, the four-piece will provide real-time accompaniment to the cult horror classics on August 18 and 19 at Union Chapel in Islington – follow the links for tickets to Dawn of the Dead and Suspiria.

If you’re into horror movies and you’re not yet familiar with Goblin, check our Beginner’s Guide to the band to find out why they’re more influential than ever among fans of metal, electronic and experimental music. Last year they released a four-track EP of some of their best-known themes – including Profondo Rosso, Suspiria and Tenebre – on the horror specialist imprint Death Waltz.
