Imaginary Movie Soundtracks are just that -- the soundtracks to movies that don't exist. We pick the songs, write the story, and your mind makes the movie.

A haunted house story is always good for a spooky time. Be it the Haunting of Hill House, the Others, or the Orphanage, a house's creaking floor joists can easily become the footsteps of a dead former owner, returned for vengeance. The week's tale tweaks that idea with the story of a house protecting itself. We like to call this story Hell Comes to Your House.

Blood and suds

Some of the greatest comedies of all time revolve around getting fucked up. You've got the Dude knocking back Caucasians in the Big Lebowski, the Mackenzie brothers' quest for Elsinore beer in Strange Brew, the opening scene of Supertroopers where the kid eats a bag of weed and a mind-wiping amount of mushrooms, and pretty much all of Up In Smoke wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of blunts the size of a baby's arm. In that vein, we bring you our liquor-fueled adventure, Attack of the Killer Beers.

In the late '90s, it seemed like the comedic sex romp was going to make a return. In the vein of such classics as Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds, we had flicks like American Pie and Eurotrip: all movies about teenagers trying to get some ass. It is in the vein of such quests for ass that we bring you Buster Cherry, a tale of a mismatched pairing between a science geek and the head of the cheerleading squad.

In space, everyone can hear you scream

This week's soundtrack takes us off the planet Earth's surface into orbit around it, in an a decrepit space station. The station is in orbit around a dying planet Earth -- but the planet's not the only thing that's dying, as the denizens of space station Kalessin are being taken out by an unknown entity. We bring you the soundtrack to a sci-fi shlockfest we like to call Zero-G Slaughterhouse.

David Fincher, please take note: soundtracking the Goon

Imaginary Movie Soundtracks are just that -- the soundtracks to movies that doesn't exist. We pick the songs, write the story, and your mind makes the movie.

We're taking a different tack with this week's soundtrack. Eric Powell's comic The Goon had a short animatic debut at this year's San Diego ComiCon, but has yet to find a backer. The film has David Fincher attached, along with Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown. Powell interviewed on Ain't It Cool News earlier this week about his EC horror comic aesthetic, crossed with Looney Tunes cartoon violence and humor that creates something that's 100% original. If the movie ever gets made, here's some suggestions as to how it should sound.

Freak out: the soundtrack

Our protagonist isn't quite right. She was fired from her (admittedly unpleasant) job for taking a few liberties on her lunch breaks. (Those liberties may or may not have included driving home and taking a nap, while remaining on the clock, and perhaps returning to the office with the faint hint of cannabis wafting from her sweater.)

How to kill a drifter: the soundtrack

Sometimes, a conversation gets your brain stuck on an idea. (Like killing someone. Um, just kidding.) Years back, I heard an argument on 96.5 the Buzz's The Church of Lazlo about which songs were appropriate for killing a drifter, and which songs were more suited to killing a hooker. The idea of "songs to kill a drifter to" stuck in my head for weeks. Eventually, this list of songs coalesced, forming a story arc.
