Not content with already liberating over twenty dedicated global horror and thriller soundtracks as part of the labels expansive discography, Finders Keepers Records resurrect their ghostly Finders Kreepers imprint, an apparition last spotted back in 2009 with the archival Willow’s Songs which exposed the original twisted folk music that inspired the seminal 1972 Wicker Man score.

Combining two uber classic slices of lost European horror music Finders Kreepers firstly bring you a mysterious and beguiling piece of music that has enchanted and eluded fans of vintage horror for decades. Here we have the recurring child-like song that haunted the corridors and gardens of the 1961 film The Innocents sung by actress and collectable folk singer Isla Cameron (while Daphe Oram handled the sound design). Meanwhile the flipside brings you the dream sequence theme to the milestone of monochromatic French horror Et mourir de plaisir (aka Blood And Roses) a forerunner to the surreal vampire films of Jean Rollin et al as well as a distant older sister song to that of Roubaix’s later Daughters Of Darkness.
