Pretty in Pink is a 1986 teen romantic comedy-drama film about teenage love and social cliques in 1980s American high schools. It is one of a group of John Hughes films starring Molly Ringwald, and is commonly identified as a “Brat Pack” film. The film was directed by Howard Deutch, produced by Lauren Shuler and written by John Hughes.
The title song by the Psychedelic Furs was the actual inspiration for the film and was re-recorded for this soundtrack. It had been released in 1981 for the album Talk Talk Talk. “Left of Center” was also re-recorded. The first track, “If You Leave”, was written in 1985 in advance specifically for the film. In addition to their song “Shell-Shock”, New Order also had the “Thieves Like Us” instrumental and “Elegia” appear in the film but not on the soundtrack. The Rave-Ups, who do appear in the film performing “Positively Lost Me” and “Rave-Up/Shut-Up” from their Town and Country, do not have any songs on the soundtrack. Nik Kershaw’s “Wouldn’t It Be Good” appears as re-recorded by former Three Dog Night vocalist Danny Hutton’s band, Danny Hutton Hitters.

Pet Sematary (sometimes referred to as Stephen King’s Pet Sematary) is a 1989 horror film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name. Directed by Mary Lambert and written by King, the film features Dale Midkiff as Louis Creed, Denise Crosby as Rachel Creed, Blaze Berdahl as Ellie Creed, Miko Hughes as Gage Creed, and Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall. Andrew Hubatsek was cast for Zelda’s role. Author King has a cameo as a minister.
In 1978, King returned to his alma mater, the University of Maine at Orono, to teach a year in return for the education he had received there. During this time his family rented a house on a busy road in Orrington. The road claimed the lives of a number of pets, and the neighborhood children had created a pet cemetery in a field near the Kings’ home. King’s daughter Naomi buried her cat “Smucky” there after it was hit, and shortly thereafter their son Owen had a close call running toward the road. King wrote the novel based on their experiences, but feeling he had gone too far with the subject matter of the book it became the first novel he “put away” on the advice of his wife Tabitha and friend, author Peter Straub. King reluctantly submitted it for publication only after Doubleday insisted on receiving a final book due on his contract.
Elliot Goldenthal’s score to the film Pet Sematary was his first mainstream score. Its style is sometimes compared to Jack Nitzsche’s score to The Exorcist while the theme is inspired by Lalo Schifrin’s score to The Amityville Horror.

St. Elmo’s Fire is a 1985 coming-of-age film directed by Joel Schumacher. The film, starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham, is a prominent movie of the Brat Pack genre, and revolves around a group of friends that have just graduated from Georgetown University and their adjustment to their post-university lives and the responsibilities of encroaching adulthood.
The theme song “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” was written by Canadian composer/producer David Foster and performed by John Parr. This hit song was written for the Canadian athlete Rick Hansen who, at the time, was traveling around the world via his wheelchair to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries. His journey was called the “Man in Motion Tour.” The song did not appear on any John Parr album until Letter to America was released in July 2011.
“St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for two weeks in September 1985, and “Love Theme from St. Elmo’s Fire” (the instrumental theme to the movie by David Foster) reached #15. Another version of the “Love Theme from St. Elmo’s Fire” with lyrics, titled For Just a Moment was performed by Amy Holland and Donny Gerrard, and was included as the final song on the soundtrack album.
A note about the scans: the labels of my copy were misprinted, or actually, not printed. They are just blank Atlantic Records labels with no text printed anywhere on them. I didn’t scan them for this reason. However, the covers are included.

Critically, it is considered to be one of the greatest high school-teen films of all time, as well as one of Hughes’ most memorable and recognizable works.

Return of the Living Dead Part II is a zombie horror comedy film that was released in 1988. It was written and directed by Ken Wiederhorn. The film was released by Lorimar Motion Pictures on January 8, 1988, and was a minor box office success, making over $9 million at the box office in the United States against its $6 million budget. It is the first of four sequels. Though this film and its predecessor shared the same rating (“R”), this film had a lighter tone as it was partially aimed at a teenage audience. However the misleading trailer suggested it was darker. The main protagonists, Jesse and Lucy, share the last name ‘Wilson’, giving the cult fans a clue that they are the children or nephew and niece to Burt Wilson, the main protagonist of the first film.
The soundtrack has a great collection of 80′s metal bands including “Anthrax”, “Zodiac Mindwarp”, & “Leatherwolf”. One of the most notable songs on the album is a very cool rendition of “Monster Mash” performed by “The Big O”.

The film’s producer, Joel Silver, acquired film rights to the pre-Comics Code Authority 1950s EC Comics magazine of the same name, from which the plot is developed as an expansion and modernization of the basic premise in Al Feldstein’s story “Made of the Future” in the fifth issue. The title song was written and performed by the New Wave band Oingo Boingo.
The film received a mixed response from critics. Based on 26 reviews collected by the film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 58% of critics gave Weird Science a positive review, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The consensus states: “Hardly in the same league as John Hughes’ other teen movies, the resolutely goofy Weird Science nonetheless gets some laughs via its ridiculous premise and enjoyable performances”. The film was successful at the box office with a gross of $23,834,048 in North America and $15,100,000 in other territories, totaling $38,934,048 worldwide.
