IMPRESSIONS: Devoted viewers of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (of which I wasn't) are quite familiar with Joss Whedon's ability for writing musicals via the celebrated "ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING" episode which I thought was terrific. However, DR. HORRIBLE's all-out free-for-all is even more fun. The show itself is laugh-out-loud funny while the songs are silly and witty.
MY FAVOURITE TRACKS: Horrible Theme - Instrumental, My Freeze Ray - Neil Patrick Harris, Bad Horse Chorus - Jed Whedon, Joss Whedon & Zack Whedon, My Eyes - Felicia Day & Neil Patrick Harris, Brand New Day - Neil Patrick Harris, So They Say - Ensemble, Slipping - Neil Patrick Harris, Everything You Ever - Neil Patrick Harris
FACT SHEET: DR. HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG is the soundtrack album of the 3-part made-for-the-internet series by Joss Whedon made during the writers' strike of 2008. The show was co-written by Joss Whedon, his brothers Jed & Zack and writer/actress Maurissa Tancharoen (who plays "Groupie #1" in the film). Joss Whedon self-financed the project for approximately $200,000. The soundtrack album reached the top 40 despite being available only as an online download at the time of release.
