The original score was written by Galen Huckins and recorded by the Classical Revolution PDX Chamber Ensemble.  Galen was interviewed by Edmund Stone of KBPS All Classical where they talked about this unusual film score and the unique challenges of the medium.  Listen here.

The Willamette Radio Workshop created a new dubbing of the film based on the original 1969 script.  Recorded at the WRW studios, the actors do an amazing job breathing life into the strange characters and monsters populating the planet Tera.

Gamera vs. Guiron or Attack of the Monsters (1969) is an epic Japanese monster film starring 3 of the biggest, baddest fire-breathing condo-crushing “kaiju” of the day.  On a distant planet, 2 brain eating space babes protect their domain from intruders with the fearsome Guiron with a knife for a head and the ability to shoot shuriken out of his nostrils.  When two boys from the Earth end up in the clutches of the cannibal aliens Gamera, jet powered megaturtle, swoops in to do battle in a showdown of “Scarface” proportions.

The noisiest silent film you’ll ever see, Filmusik’s Gamera vs. Guiron takes a fresh look at how we see films and the artists behind the screen.
