This is a short post tonight because, quite frankly, if you haven’t seen Nobuhiko Ôbayashi’s 1977 mindfuck, ‘Hausu’, there is very little I can say about it. All I can suggest is that you watch it. The soundtrack is just as confusing as the film itself, featuring corny synth pop jingles, swampy blues, woeful vocal numbers, funk and… well… very little in the way of ‘horror’. The whole soundtrack is available for you to listen to below.

And here’s the trailer.

Trust me when I say you should see this film. Really… trust me.

Where can I find a copy of the soundtrack on CD?

I picked it up on vinyl last year while I was in Japan. It sometimes shows up here: http://www.discogs.com/Asei-Kobayashi-Micky-Yoshino-Godiego-House-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/3363269
Apparently it was re-released on CD last year, but I can’t find anywhere to order it online. Sorry. Maybe keep a lookout on discogs.com.
