ReMix:Splatterhouse 3 "Hunger" 3:17

We actually posted a creepy-as-all-heck arrangement of Splatterhouse 3 by Beckett007 back in 2008, but this track - our third posted ReMix from Mak Eightman - goes in a much more aggressive, in-your-face, run-for-your-life metal approach, as befits its inclusion on BA2:

"One of my favorite games ever. I love this game, I love OST. I want to play the first game, but I can't find it. I hate the new one, 'cause it's boring. Stupid remake. As for my remix... I'm kinda surprised. It sounds good! Hope you like it. I chose this source because it was easy to work with. Source tune has lot of mystery stuff, IMO, but lack of power and hardness. I tried to give some for it. Still, I love melodic music, so I tried to make it hard, heavy, powerful and beautiful. Hope I did that."

Not to be confused with THE Hunger (which is neverending), this arrangement of the boss named "Teddy Bear" will have you looking at stuffed animals in a whole new way. Manic, alarming, disturbing, and liable to have you questioning your sanity, Mak's really turned this one up to 11 and conjured some seriously sinister sounds. I love what album director David L. Puga had to say:

"I never played Splatterhouse, but I remember seeing others play it as a kid. I was always fascinated by just how dark & violent the game was, especially by the standards back then. When Mak submitted a wip for the project I knew we had to have it. It hit the tone we were going for in spades, even adding a bit of creepiness & fear into the equation. If I ever need to battle a possessed Teddy Ruxpin to the death, I couldn't think of a more befitting theme for my troubles, though I'd need to transfer it to a cassette tape first... damn."

Brilliant; someone needs to start a new horror film franchise based on that EXACT premise, ASAP. If they can work in Paddington as part of the origin story, all the better. I think Mr. Puga just gave me nightmare material for the next year or so, and Mak unwittingly provided the perfect soundtrack. Truly horrific, unapologetic, unmitigated, & unrelenting badassery from Mr. Eightman!
