THE PHANTOM FARMHOUSE
Composed by Oliver Nelson
For this unusual love story Nelson mixes standard acoustic instruments
with electronics. A love theme of pastoral gentleness clashes with episodes
of violence and moody fantasy in a musical score of wild extremes, reflecting
the emotions of the main characters and the bizarre developments in the
narrative. Nelson's music is as strange as the story it tells—thoroughly
original, highly effective and reused many times on Night Gallery, most
prominently in "Pickman's Model," "There Aren't Any More MacBanes," "You
Can't Get Help Like That Anymore," and in Serling's introductions to "The
Devil Is Not Mocked," "The Funeral," and "The Miracle at Camafeo."
