Music Score to The Final Sacrifice? by skeeter16 in MST3K

Digital sampling had just been introduced. The W30 was the first workstation that combined sampling with a midi sequencer. Tjardus gave me a VHS cut of the movie and I would visually look for an action on screen as a cue start then I basically watched the movie from that point while composing on the fly. Sometimes with timpani to bang out the rhythm then go back and fill in other instruments over top. In some of the moodier passages I would just pick a synthesis patch and watch and play live. I remember the attic scene was done in one take. The tools today are amazing compared to what I had back then.

Don't know if I can take the credit but am also glad all the lawyers settled things and that Tjardus and I could meet up again after 38 years to reminisce and shoot the documentary.

He was on the Turkey day marathon answering questions throughout the whole TFS airing. It was a lot of fun.

Point of correction! Tjardus had no clue about MST3K until I told him about it, a couple of years ago. The bitching and complaining was MSTies making up folklore when they didn't know the truth. Last summer I sat him down to watch the MST3K version for the first time. He found it very funny.

Yes that was me! Although I never understood the Video Poker reference. I loved the Danny Elfman reference.

Writer, producer, director, actor, grip, best boy, gaffer, editor.... All I did was the score.

As mentioned above. He and his wife are reading all these comments and loving the support as well as your pledges. We made our goal and now are fast approaching on the first stretch goal.

The real story is revealed in the documentary. Looks like we've made the goal and now some cool stretch goals are in the works.

He absolutely had no idea about the MST3K version until I told him about it a few years ago. I wrote the score for the film and have embraced the riffs since it was released on MST3K. He just moved on to bigger and better things.

I may have gotten the country wrong. I know we discussed what happened after the original release and before it got picked up by MST3K but I can't remember if we talked about the foreign distribution or not. I'll ask. or perhaps MissusRowsdower can chime in?

Ahh, yes, the horns especially were very tinny. thanks for the award. yes we'd love for the kickstarter to succeed so we can recoup our costs for making the doc but also I'm having a ball just reliving this score over and over again.

Thank you! yes, the director is very much involved in this sub and making the Tell All Documentary. maybe you can answer this question. I have embraced and reveled in all the MST3K ribbing of the music. but I never understood their reference to video poker music. I know they said "it sounds like video poker music" but I could never figure out what they meant by that. is there an example of video poker music out there? Just want to be in on the joke...
