With the feature Hansel & Gretel Get Baked releasing February 19th On Demand and in select cities on February 22nd via Tribeca Film, we thought it time to bring you our interview with the flick’s composer, Corey Allen Jackson.

Prior to becoming the recipient of the Bmi Award for Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television from the University of Southern California, 44-year-old Jackson studied music composition at the La Schola Cantorum in Paris, France, and to date has racked up an impressive list of genre scores, including those for the Steven R. Monroe-directed horror flicks It Waits, Sasquatch Mountain, Left in Darkness, I Spit On Your Grave (2010) and the upcoming MoniKa, among others.

We recently chatted with him regarding his process as well as his approach to scoring director Duane Journey’s Hansel & Gretel Get Baked.

That movement kept growing and growing -- at least a half an hour long, by itself it as long as all of Beethoven's First Symphony.

Norwegian extreme-metal superstars Dimmu Borgir made our "Macabre Musical Memories" list last year for their epic album Abrahadabra, which featured the accompaniment of the massive Norwegian Radio Orchestra and Schola Cantorum Choir. Now the band is planning to bring the entire album experience to a live gig: it has just been announced that a full symphony orchestra will be joining the band onstage at next summer's Wacken Open Air music festival in Germany – a historic moment which the fest promoters are calling "an unholy live symbiosis that will wreck the necks of thousands." Hit the jump for more info! Even before Abrahadabra, Dimmu Borgir was well-known for the sweeping, cinematic scope of their...
