Enigmatic!
A mysterious “knocker” is paid to wake up people in 1830’s Manchester, at the height of the industrial revolution. But is he also responsible for them dying? House Of Gorey’s new horror short film “The Knocker” will give you an answer. Award-winning composer Chris Wirsig (“Aware Of The Wolf,” “The Curse Of Oak Island”, “The Real Murders Of Atlanta”) wrote the music for the eerie drama that unfolds in the movie.
Taking inspiration from the era’s music, but staying rooted in contemporary classical and horror themes, Wirsig wrote orchestral pieces that not only convey the haunted and tense atmosphere, but also the drama and sadness of the protagonists losing their loved ones. An emotive and immersive film score that will move you!
