The 1981 film Knightriders (watch it Here) isn’t a horror film, but comes from one of our all-time greatest genre film directors (and my personal favorite of the bunch), George A. Romero. It’s a brilliant, emotional dramatic film that also features some really cool extended motorcycle stunt sequences… and I’m glad to hear that the folks at Scare Flair Records are giving the score composed by Donald Rubinstein a vinyl release.
The vinyl is now available to order through ScareFlair.com. The site notes that the records are already in hand and will begin shipping out almost immediately.
Here’s some information on the Knightriders score vinyl release: This release comes with the complete score on X2LP inside a gatefold jacket, 11×11 Program of Events insert, exclusive liner notes by Composer Donald Rubinstein, classic artwork by Boris Vallejo, new artwork by Ghoulish Gary Pullin, and features some very...

All right, you all owe me an apology. There’s been a George A. Romero-directed film featuring faux knights jousting on motorcycles since 1981 and not one of you thought to tell me about it? I’ll make an allowance for the fact that I wasn’t alive until 1984, but beyond that there’s really no excuse. The film in question, Knightriders, is a rare non-horror entry from the man responsible for the modern interpretation of zombies. But it’s also unquestionably a Romero flick.
Set in Western Pennsylvania (naturally) Knightriders features a slew of Romero regulars, including Ed Harris, Ken Foree, Tom Savini, Christine Forrest, a cameo from future Creepshow collaborator Stephen King, and even a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spot from Captain Rhodes himself, Joseph Pilato.
But Romero’s fingerprints in this film go well beyond setting and casting. Also present is his ability for digging into social dynamics, only...

On Saturday evening, the American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood continued its tradition, (along with its sister theatre, the Aero in Santa Monica), of the best year-round film programming on this coast or any other, as actor-filmmaker Ed Harris appeared live for a Q&A session after a screening of Knightriders, the 1981 film directed by George A. Romero. The film is a true original, a (sort of) retelling of the legend of Camelot through the members of a traveling road show who dress up as medieval knights and have jousting tournaments while riding motorcycles. Harris, in one of his first lead film roles (perhaps the first?), plays a character named Chris, who is the titular king of the group of Knightriders, and takes this position very, very seriously. Too seriously for an off-shoot of the troupe who just want...
