Iām also trying to put something together, using DT only. Deadline is fast approaching thoughā¦

Agreed! The movie is pretty dumb, but thatās part of the fun. In one jam, I used a fair amount of dialog because I couldnāt resist the cheesiness of it. The second thing Iām working on, I tried to be a bit more āseriousā and avoided dialog samples. Iām a huge fan of forced limitations, which is why Iām only using sounds from the movie itself. The toughest part of that was fashioning a decent kick and bass sounds from clips that were already shrunken by youtube. Still working on that

Yeah the movie is not very halloweenie and the soundtrack doesnt feed the mood either but its cool, I never dress up for Halloween anyways.

So many of the classics in the horror genre have already been sampled to death.
I thought others here might appreciate the synth heavy musical themes in this movie.

Iām def submitting a beat for this.
I like to say the above statement in battle threads to make myself finish even when it gets tuff (trying to get my brother to get in on this battle too).
I just finished an Op-1 battle, that I wouldāve never finished if I didnāt say āIām doing it no matter what!!!ā Itās a nice little tactic of mine & has worked so far. It gets me to push thru instead of giving up.

I THINK I scrolled past your thread without opening itā¦due to the title. If I knew it was a challenge/battle I wouldāve probably joined.
If you put 1 on again, maybe put the word challenge or battle in the title for more interest?

Fair enough.
Although I had assumed that all the threads in this section/ board were challenges given the General Rules.
If I win this one, Iāll post the next (as it should be according to the rules - which I now accept I neglected to follow).

That makes senseā¦to be honest I didnāt know that mission brief is the challenge section all tho the name says it allā¦
It was the only thing I could think of as to why there wasnāt any action; your challenge was a nice idea

I couldnāt agree more Sharris. Make the commitment to yourself and youāre more likely to get it done.

I bent the rules a bit myself but I donāt see the mods shutting us down for having fun with our machines and making the output public.
I didnāt see your thread or I would have contributed to it.

Are we allowed to use the soundtrack or does audio have to be sampled from the actual movie?
I def want to get sounds & vocals from the movieā¦but I found the soundtrack on youtube (below), which of course would be ideal to use since it has all the music without talking & āmovieā noises all over the music.
I already sampled the entire soundtrack & was going for it, then I realized it might not be okā¦donāt want to cheat if weāre supposed to sample from the actual movie.

Deadline is tonight right? Just samples from the film into the DTā¦ This is actually the first full track Iāve made since getting the DT a few months ago. Very fun, more movie-digging challenges please!

Ooh, I thought in the first couple posts people decided to move it to the 10th? Anyway, all good, more time to work on it then. BTW the soundtrack is probably fair game as the OP doesnāt say itās restricted to samples from the movie in any way. So dig in.
