The epic William Shatner B-Movie 'Kingdom of the Spiders' (1977) used library music and other scores from what I can see. No label has released an album (correct me if I'm wrong) so I gathered what legal tracks I could find and made a Spotify playlist.

Enjoy!

Note: The 'Peaceful Verdi Valley' theme song is unavailable but my cover version is here:

As a general rule of thumb, no label spends its cash and time releasing track-job scores.

Brilliant! Thanks for this, and for clearing up my lyric issues re: "Peaceful Verde Valley" - for nigh on forty years I thought Mr Burnette was singing "Let the sky beat a little more love" confused , and now know it to be "Let the sky be blue tomorrow". smile

Has anyone here ever identified the name of the short music cue that opens the movie before seguing into the song?

Nor should they if you could accomplish the same thing with a playlist.

Fred Steiner's music from the Twilight Zone episode titled "King Nine Will Not Return", starting at around 6:56...

Thank you friend, but I have to ask; how did you know this? Did you watch this particular episode one day and notice the track? Is there some comprehensive cue listing somewhere? Because I don’t believe this episode score is released anywhere right?

To be honest, I found the film on YouTube, began playing the opening, and used the Shazam app which recognized it. smile

Funny, this score is not even mentioned on IMDB. I listened to the whole clip you posted and I believe other sections of this score appear in the movie as well. At least parts of it sound very familiar.

Only in the case of orchestral scores. This is quite common with pop and rock soundtracks.

Well, yeah, I did post on Film Score Monthly about scoring, not Pop and Rock Monthly about rock soundtracks.

You'll get your Jeff Foxworthy sign in the mail. ;-)

I appreciate this playlist, and missed it the first time, so also appreciate the thread bump!

Never saw KOTS (now there's a fun movie title acronym) but enjoy the dip into library music.
