BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents PARASOMNIA, featuring music composed by Nicholas Pike (SLEEPWALKERS, Stephen King’s THE SHINING, FEARDOTCOM, FREDDIE’S NIGHTMARES, Stephen King’s RIDING THE BULLET) for the 2008 horror thriller directed by William Malone (FEARDOTCOM, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, CREATURE) and starring Cherilyn Wilson, Dylan Purcell, Patrick Kilpatrick, Jeffrey Combs and Timothy Bottoms. The booklet features notes by director William Malone and the music has been professionally mastered by James Nelson of Digital Outland.

PARASOMNIA tells the story of Laura Baxter (Wilson), a young woman who suffers from a medical condition called parasomnia that is causing her to sleep most of her life away, awakening briefly on rare occasions. Laura is literally a Sleeping Beauty, her days passing into years while she sleeps in a room in a psychiatric hospital. Art student Danny Sloan (Purcell) immediately falls in love with Laura, unaware that her neighbor is a mesmerist and mass murderer named Byron Volpe (Kilpatrick), who has other plans for her. While Laura sleeps, Volpe has been using his powers to invade her dreams and make them nightmares. When Danny begins to believe in what is happening to Laura, he starts to make plans to get her out of the hospital before it’s too late and she loses her mind.

Envisioning PARASOMNIA as a kind of dark modern fairy tale of horror, romance, obsession and death, writer/director William Malone wanted the film to have “an otherworldly quality, as though the story was adrift in time”. In his mind, he thought of great classical composers such as Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Prokofiev. To score PARASOMNIA, Malone turned to composer Nicholas Pike to provide the musical glue for the film, continuing their creative collaboration that has included FEARDOTCOM, MASTERS OF HORROR and FREDDIE’S NIGHTMARES. Pike’s score for the film includes a delicate love theme for the lovers as well as aggressive and imaginative music for the villain and the various undercurrents of Laura’s dream world.
