The Brain From Planet Arous/Teenage Monster contains Walter Greene’s amazingly inventive score for the 1957 John Agar/Joyce Meadows B-movie classic. It’s here in amazing fidelity and in its 43-minute entirety. Easily the greatest score for a film about a giant, evil, floating, sex-crazed brain from outer space, the music provides endless fun and incredible artistry. Greene scored the movie without a string section, instead incorporating four saxophones into his powerhouse orchestra.
The CD also includes Greene’s background score for 1957’s Teenage Monster, this 33-minute addition helping to shine a light on an incredibly underrated composer. This Monstrous Movie Music release contains a 20-page liner book discussing all aspects of the music, and the CD features over 77 minutes of never-before-released music! The striking cover art featuring my image is by horror artist and dear friend, Robert Aragon.
