I don't the think the films are from 1954, 1951 as it says on the back cover, but rather about a decade later.
Yeah, that's bizarre. The dates are even incorrect on the back cover (except for The Deathhead Virgin, which would be a great name for a death metal band).
The correct dates are:
The Shuttered Room (1967)
Hand of Death (1962)
The Deathhead Virgin (1974)
Thanks, it's been corrected

Interesting, would like to know more on how many tracks have sound effects.
There are audio samples to give you an idea of how this album sounds.

BASIL FREAKING KIRCHIN, man! Along with Gil Mellé, I perceive him to be the only TRUE GENIUS who contributed to dodgy horror fare in the '60s and '70s (apart from all the other AMAZING things both Kirchin and Mellé did in their fascinating lives).
THE SHUTTERED ROOM score holds a special place in my heart. It opened me up to "the Kirchin universe" when I saw the film around the age of thirteen on the telly. This would just about coincide to my mind-blowing introduction to the sonic world of Gil Mellé, when FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY was first broadcast on BBC.
Speaking of THE SHUTTERED ROOM - Didn't Jonny Trunk release this on vinyl in 2012? I didn't buy it. I don't have a turntable. All of Trunk's subsequent Kirchin releases have been on vinyl too - most frustrating, as there is some stupendous stuff there.
Kudos then to Ford and the team at DDR/BSX. I might not actually buy this as I have found some of the previous score presentations in the series to be somewhat amateurish... I know they're from music and effects tracks, but it's noticeably clumsy when they splice out the dialogue, making it a bit choppy amongst the seagulls and motorboat noises.
But as I said, kudos to the team. I hope this sells like the proverbial hotcakes so that we can keep the ball rolling.
I think you'll be a happy camper.

LaSalle's DEATHHEAD VIRGIN also incorporates the Funeral Pyre music, (Eerie Heavy Echo), from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD by Spencer Moore.
It does have a shimmery, underwater feel to it.
