Dead Love (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Music by Keith Richie

When Hannah, a troubled librarian, discovers a demonic spell book in the library’s returns, her attempt to conjure a lost lover spirals into a night of possession, retribution, and terror.

Dead Love – A Fever Dream of Terror, written and directed by Zach Meeks (Black Opal Projects), stunned audiences on the festival circuit, earning multiple awards in 2021 and 2022 before its wide release on YouTube in September 2024. 🎥 Watch the full short film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrr0yRfPawc

Keith Richie began scoring Dead Love in October 2018, crafting an unsettling sonic journey from fragile intimacy into full-blown supernatural horror. The score’s core tracks — Intro through Revelations — capture the essence of Hannah’s descent, blending eerie atmospheres, ritualistic textures, and moments of heart-wrenching tension. The suite closes with Richie’s haunting tribute performance of Chariots of Pumpkins, originally composed by John Carpenter & Alan Howarth for Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

But the nightmare doesn’t end there. Side 2 expands the universe of Dead Love with selections from Richie’s darker catalog, thematically resonant with the film’s fever-dream tone. From the sinister march of the title track March of the Inanimate: Repossessed, to the chilling dread of Fields of Sorrow and Someone’s in the House from Mister Stichs, this expanded edition closes with An diesem Vorabend der Angst (On This Eve of Fear) — an alternate vision of Revelations, reimagined for a Krampus-inspired project.
