Along with all the other Super 8 Shorts, Within The Woods was scored with music taken from other motion pictures around at the time, although it isn't general knowledge which ones. It's Murder for example, draws heavily on music from a couple of Hitchcock films. We have been running project for quite some time to try to identify all the tracks used. You can contact us if you can shed any light on the missing tracks, or get involved in the discussion of this project on the forums.

You can see a list of the tracks below; all but six of them have been identified, although some of that music is repeated more than once so actually there are only three pieces of music missing. Tracks 4 & 29 are both the same piece of music. 20, 23 & 28 are all the same track too.

The version of Within The Woods which the tracks have been synced up to is taken from the generally available 'Sam Raimi Short Films' bootleg DVD, which is NTSC at 29.97fps with a total running time of 30mins 41secs.

Below is a link to samples of the three tracks which still haven't been identified, taken directly from the DVD version's audio. As some tracks are repeated, this ZIP file contains only the longest version of each of those tracks. They're all 16kbs mono MP3 files. Click the below link to download.




The tracks that have already been identified mostly come from films from the mid to late 70's, but the missing tracks could possibly be from much earlier films, although nothing later than 1979 when Within The Woods was completed. If you think you can help, please post in the discussion thread for this project on the forums.
