Description

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score by Joseph Bishara. Written and directed by Damien McCarthy, HOKUM stars Adam Scott and follows a misanthropic author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes. He becomes trapped in a haunting mystery involving a boarded-up honeymoon suite, a local witch legend, and his own dark past. The film has been praised upon its release for its strong, quiet dread, atmosphere, and character-driven horror. It delves into themes of grief, Irish folklore, and childhood trauma.

Joseph Bishara is an American composer, music producer, and actor, best known for his work scoring films such as Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant, and Annabelle. After an early influence of classical music, Bishara began experimenting with electronic and experimental music, becoming interested in groups such as Tangerine Dream. He became engrossed in horror scores after watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. Bishara is known for his avant-garde style and unique approach to instrumentation and composition that suits horror films particularly well.

Joseph Bishara’s HOKUM score is driven by dark, dissonant strings, unsettling electronics, and haunting vocal choruses that gradually intensify, instilling a persistent sense of dread. Renowned for his expertise in sound design, Bishara fully leans into that craft, weaving elements seamlessly into the HOKUM composition. The result is a deeply immersive sonic experience in which the sound design doesn’t just accompany the score, it amplifies it, surrounding the listener in an oppressive atmosphere that mirrors the film’s dangerous subject matter.

Waxwork Records is proud to present HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score by Joseph Bishara as a deluxe LP set featuring "Honeymoon Suite" pearlescent blood-red and black swirled vinyl, a lenticular-effect front cover bringing "Jack The Donkey" in and out of the television screen artwork, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte UV coating, printed inner sleeves, and all new artwork by Dane Hallett. Hallett's credits include concept design and art for such franchises as Alien, Mad Max, Predator, and Mortal Kombat.
