This one is made completely from samples from the third 20 minutes in Night of the Living Dead. This section of the movie has a lot of talking, and I wanted to recreate the sensation of conversation in the song. I failed completely. What came out instead is a Maurizio-like beat and snippets of voices and other samples, all connected by signal followers and delays.

There's this great ominous sense of dread in this, this is really neat!
Awesome - I’ve pulled a lot of samples from NotLD, and I really live the way you’ve gone about it - rhythmic and percussive, while keeping some of that background dread from the movie with the words and flavors of the soundtrack. It might not have been your goal, but the result is really cool!

Thanks for listening! I would love to hear what you've done with the movie samples.

Fantastic! I love how the guitars flip the track's energy and direction half way through. I used "They're going to get you, Barbra" in this one: https://weeklybeats.com/rjlmrq/music/first-day-of-summer, it's hard to hear, with all the stretching and distortion, but it's there starting around 0:33.
