Crimson Peak

Waxwork Records is beyond thrilled to release CRIMSON PEAK Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Fernando Velázquez. Crimson Peak is a 2015 gothic-horror romance film directed and co-written by Guillermo Del Toro (Pans Labyrinth, The Devil’s Backbone, The Shape Of Water). The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, and Jessica Chastain. It follows the story of an aspiring author who is wood by a mysterious stranger to a remote Gothic mansion built upon a red clay mountain. There, she must decipher the mansion’s many secrets, the mystery behind the ghostly visions that haunt her new home, and fight not only for her sanity, but for her very life. The film is described as a ghost-story and gothic-romance heavily inspired by other horror films such as The Haunting, The Innocents, and The Shining.
