Dragon’s Domain Records presents the soundtrack release of THE BRIAN MAY COLLECTION – VOLUME 1, featuring music composed by Brian May (MAD MAX, THE ROAD WARRIOR, CLOAK & DAGGER) for two films from his extensive filmography, ROAD GAMES and BLOODMOON.

Released in 1981, ROADGAMES (stylized as ROAD GAMES) is an Australian thriller directed by Richard Franklin (PATRICK, PSYCHO II, CLOAK & DAGGER), from a script by frequent collaborator Everett De Roche, starring Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis. Keach plays Patrick Quid, an American expat truck driver traveling across the South Australia interstates, and Curtis plays a helpful hitchhiker he playfully nicknames Hitch. The film starts with Quid taking a job delivering a load of meat to Perth. Along the way, Quid encounters a suspicious man in a green van driving on the road at the same time. After witnessing some strange behavior from this man, he finds himself picking Hitch up on the road and they join together to follow this man as they believe he might be the serial killer reported on the news who is butchering women using links of barbed wire. At a certain point in the film, Quid realizes that he’s becoming the main suspect of the police and after Hitch goes missing, he decides to take action to find Hitch and clear his name. Director Richard Franklin was known to be a big Alfred Hitchcock fan, and it shows respectively throughout ROAD GAMES. The film is considered an important entry in the Ozploitation genre and, along with the MAD MAX films and PATRICK, helped bring composer Brian May to worldwide attention.

Released in 1990, BLOODMOON was directed by Alec Mills (best known as a camera operator and second unit DP), written by Robert Brennan and stars Leon Lessek (TIME BANDITS, SUZIE GOLD, EAST ENDERS), Christina Amor (PRISONER CELL BLOCK II, DEAD SLEEP, CYBER GIRL), Ian Williams (NEIGHBORS) and Helen Thomson (COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS, ELVIS, BAD MOTHERS). BLOODMOON sets a vampire chiller into St. Elizabeth’s, a rural Australian girl’s boarding school, where students are being stalked by a maniacal biology teacher (who also happens to have an unhealthy predilection for barbed wire as a murder device). The film’s title refers to the Hunter’s moon – the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. BLOODMOON is a Giallo in Australian clothes, with elements familiar in set design, script construction and musical treatment.

Previously released on compact disc in the early days of the format, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring ROAD GAMES and BLOODMOON back from the past, newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, with liner notes written by noted author Randall D. Larson.
