1989 Soundtrack – Shocker

, ,

Shocker (also known as Wes Craven’s Shocker) is a 1989 American horror film written and directed by Wes Craven. It stars Michael Murphy, Peter Berg and  Mitch Pileggi as the evil antagonist Horace Pinker.  Both Wes Craven and Universal had hoped for the film to launch a franchise (Craven had particularly wanted to create a new series since he felt he had not  been given due profits from New Line Cinema resulting from the Nightmare on Elm Street series).However, due to the middling commercial performance and poor  reception of the film, no sequel was made.

Saraya was an American hard rock band, based in New Jersey and featuring singer Sandi Saraya, guitarist Tony “Bruno” Rey, keyboardist Gregg Munier, bassist Gary Taylor, and drummer Chuck Bonfante. The band is best known for their 1989 song “Love Has Taken Its Toll,” and for being one of the few female-fronted rock bands of the 1980s.
