    He was a pioneer…the first to enhance the soundtrack with tiny fart sounds. But I kid! The score in Touch of Satan was really good, with lots of awesome wackachickawackachickawackachickawackachicka. RIP, Sir!

    But his music distracted Tom Servo so much he couldn’t
    even find Clu Gulager during the opening credits.

    You could say Tom had no Clu.

    Well, $#!%. The day is less fun now.

    Granted, no score could’ve saved, or sounded good during, “The Touch of Satan,” but Ragland produced a number of cult favorites for some astonishing crappy movies; my personal picks are the opening themes from “Grizzly,” “Jaguar Lives!” and “Q: The Winged Serpent.”

    Rest in peace, sir.

    Oh wow, I thought I was one of the only people to see the awful and shockingly violent Grizzly! Terrible, pointless movie, but Andrew Prine (Luther Stark in Riding With Death) is really good in it.

  8. I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours lately, yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s beautiful price enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the internet will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before. “Oh, that way madness lies let me shun that.” by William Shakespeare.
