A24’s new film, MaXXXine, pays homage to classic slasher films and is a sequel to the movies X and Pearl. It is set in Los Angeles in 1985 and centers around a horror movie actress eluding a mysterious killer who stalks Hollywood starlets. The film uses tracks from Octopus Records, a rare collection of authentic Italian film scores, including many horror scores from the golden age of the genre. These albums document the musical history and evolution of the sounds that have scared audiences for decades.
