Valerie and Her Week of Wonders :: (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

This Halloween when the usual horror soundtrack fare begins to feel a little too familiar, there is Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Released in 1970, Jaromil Jireš’s surreal Czech fairy tale is a bizarre, beautiful collision of vampires, witchcraft, religious repression, erotic awakening and dream logic. Paired with Luboš Fišer’s score, the whole thing feels like an intermittent phantasmagoria.
