TWISTED SISTER Frontman Says There Will Be No VAN HELSING'S CURSE This Year

September 22, 2007

TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider has issued the following update on his Halloween-themed classical/rock musical project VAN HELSING'S CURSE:

"So many of you have been inquiring as to the touring status of VAN HELSING'S CURSE for 2007, that I felt it necessary to post this letter.

"Sadly, VHC will not be performing live this year. We have the opportunity to begin work on our second CD and feel we must take this time to start what will surely be a massive undertaking. Following up 'Occulus Infernum' [originally issued in 2003] will not be an easy task.

"I know many of you will be greatly disappointed that VHC will not be playing out this year but, if you're not aware, 'Occulus Infernum' has been reissued on the Fangoria Musick label with the original Alan Clark artwork and two new tracks: John Carpenter's 'Halloween' and 'Cry Little Sister' from 'The Lost Boys' soundtrack (with yours truly on lead vocals). It makes the perfect 'pumpkin stuffer' this Halloween. You can find it here.

"From everyone involved in VAN HELSING'S CURSE, our sincere apologies for disappointing you this year...we'll make it up to you in 2008."

VAN HELSING'S CURSE's music, which is performed live by an 18-piece orchestra, a choir and a rock band, pairs heart-pounding, terrifying original compositions with clever re-workings of such memorable classic pieces as MIKE OLDFIELD's "Tubular Bells" (made famous by "The Exorcist" film),BEETHOVEN's "Moonlight Sonata", and more and reaches its ominous climax with a spine-chilling cover version of BLACK SABBATH's classic "Black Sabbath". Snider hosts each date of the tour, providing narration and setting the tone for the performances and promises audiences that each year will be bigger than the last.

A short video clip of Dee Snider talking about VAN HELSING'S CURSE can be found at this location.
