MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE MOVIE

Composer Gavin Goszka, formerly a solo artist in a project called Lore, also joined Douglas and Vargo in the new Midnight Syndicate line-up. Vargo developed the storyline and concept of a musical journey through a haunted castle, with the music reflecting his gothic artwork. In 1998, Douglas teamed up with gothic fantasy artist Joseph Vargo, and the two decided to create an exclusively dark-themed instrumental Midnight Syndicate album. The show included a blending of original short films, live music, animation, and stage performers. In March 1998, a multimedia show was produced by Douglas and his company, Entity Productions, to support the album. Movie-style sound effects were employed in some tracks. Musically, the album contained an eclectic blend of styles including everything from dark instrumental music (of which three tracks appeared on future releases), rock, rock-a-billy, techno, rap, new age, humor-pop, jazz, and space. The goal of the music is to stimulate the imaginations of listeners so that they are able to transport themselves to worlds or movies of their own creation.' a compilation of soundtracks to movies that do not exist.
