A New England gothic-horror arc: these instrumentals move from the Lot’s uneasy quiet into the town’s spreading dread, while the songs trace isolation, temptation, and the desperate resolve of those who fight back. The mix draws on horror scores, dark rock, blues, and folk to echo Ben Mears’s return to a haunted hometown and the community’s struggle against its vampires.
