Well god damn if this isn't a masterclass in using film vocal samples, amazing.  This is such a fun track and, not going to lie, those glitches are sexy AF.  Knowing the film so well this track hits on a few levels, it's almost like you're remixing that scene through this song.  As much as Johnny sounds like he's goofing around you made Barbara sound even more terrified somehow.  Fantastic work

Yeah this is really cool. Was not expecting the guitars AT ALL, and I love a good nod to George Romero. Great use of samples!

wowowow!! love the way you used the samples, but...
THOSE GUITARS holy carps
and yeah, that bridge made me feel woozy
nice work, Paisley!

This is such a huge compliment from you, thank you. The first time I used these samples, I pretty much let the scene run and added the music over it. Clipping the samples is like trimming it down to its essence - you're right, it's like remixing the scene. So much fun.

Slowing down the bridge made Johnny sound drunk, but I also slowed down the caretaker attack - I think it made Barbara's screams more intense.

Also, I finally got illformed Glitch2. It's very much a potent seasoning that I'll have to make sure not to overuse, but goddamn it's fun.

Thank you! I was intending the guitars to act as a jump scare - it's why I wanted to take them out of the beat slightly, so they were even less expected. Glad they worked

Thank you!! It's my cheap tele clone, doubled and panned hard left and right with my "grind" patch. I was sorta amazed at how massive it sounded. I added the whammy to my rebuilt strat and throttled the noisy solo out of it at the end.

I've added a lot of gear to my rebuilt studio over the past year, but one of my favorite picks is that cheap telecaster from Wish. I finally understand all the Telecaster love...and it's not even a "real" one

Love how you sync the sample with the beat around 45, such a cool effect. WHOA that guitar section, so unexpected. Glitch parts are great! Great composition on this one, the variations and nuances make for an exciting listen. Killer!!

Man, I'm just glad my name isn't Barbara. That shit is creepy. I like that it brings the musical character out of a sentence spoken normally. Well, creepily, but in a natural cadence. haha. Good job.

I've never really done rhythmic playing of my samples, it's a lot of fun. The new Sampler in Logic makes it crazy easy, I may have to do it some more Thank you!

Thanks! I did a tap tempo get the feel for what the project should be (Johnny delivers that line at 86bpm). Also, fun fact: my mom's name was Barbara, so there's an interesting feel with that.

I love the beat, I love the tempo sync'd samples, I love the hypnotic spooky creep factor of the "Barbara" over and over but I think one of the most brilliant parts of this song are those initial moments when the guitar comes in LOUD and STARTLING and SCARY, only to drop back to near-silence and into the groove with the samples a moment later. It really primes us to want and expect the fantastic thrashing ending where it all crashes together. Just awesome!
