John B. deHaas
Just in time for the holidays — Halloween, I mean, not those other festivities in December — the soundtrack to John B. deHaas’ parody “Halloween: The Musical” has been released for downloading.
The storyline is from John Carpenter’s film classic — Michael Myers escapes from a mental institution and returns to his hometown on a murderous rampage — but deHaas wrote the show as a spoof, with much of the humor in the songs.
Halloween: The Musical
“I used to watch the movie “Halloween” on VHS growing up, but I was always afraid to watch it at night,” deHaas told me last fall. “After my 20th or so viewing, I began to find the humor in the absurdity of the situations. And I also like to take very insignificant details and turn them into full-blown musical numbers.”
The CD contains 13 musical numbers, including the Michael Myers Megamix, and features the Orlando cast, including Jenn Warren, Juan Cantu, Andrea Stack and Shawn Walsh. It was recorded and mixed by Brandon Knechtel at The Jamnasium in Clermont.
“Halloween: The Musical” is available at CD Baby and iTunes. At both, an individual track costs 99 cents; the whole album is $9.99.
