Claudio Simonetti's Goblin

Just in time for Halloween, Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin — an offshoot of the Italian progressive-rock band featuring Simonetti on keyboards and known for its film scores — haunts Madison to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Dario Argento's iconic horror movie Suspiria. The band will perform the score in tandem with a screening of the film. Following an intermission, the collective will return to the stage and deliver a second set of vintage Goblin material. (If you just want to see Suspiria, check out the screening at Cinematheque in Vilas Hall that same night at 7 p.m.)

media release: Composer Claudio Simonetti has written and recorded some of the most influential soundtracks in horror, including Dawn of the Dead, Demons, Deep Red, Tenebre, and countless others, with his seminal work still informing the genre to this day. This year, Simonetti's Goblin celebrates the 45th Anniversary of Dario Argento's iconic picture, Suspiria, with a live performance of the score set to a screening of the film! Following the finale of the cult classic, the collective will return after a brief intermission to deliver a set of quintessential Goblin material alongside clips of the songs’ cinematic counterparts. 

The epic three-month-long trek will kick off just in time for Halloween on October 25 in Kansas City, MO and will hit several historic venues, most notably the infamous Stanley Hotel (Estes Park, CO) where The Shining (1980) was filmed.
