Midnight Syndicate is a Cleveland-based musical group that has been working mainly in the genre of gothic horror music since 1998. (A 1997 self-titled release covered multiple mainstream genres.) Their music is commonly used to provide atmosphere in Halloween haunted houses.

Formation

Composer Edward Douglas created Midnight Syndicate in 1996. In 1998, fellow composer Gavin Goszka joined the group and they have since released several critically acclaimed gothic horror soundtracks. As the standard for the Halloween and Haunted Attraction industries, Midnight Syndicate's music is heard throughout the Halloween season - everywhere from Universal Studios Orlando and Paramount and Six Flags theme parks to many haunted attractions and homes across America. In addition to being featured in X-Box games and television shows as diverse as Barbara Walters’ specials and Monday Night Football, the band recently developed a soundtrack for the classic roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. In 2005, they released their seventh CD entitled "The 13th Hour."

Continuing

Midnight Syndicate has teamed up with Warner Brothers-based Snap Kick Productions to score the upcoming horror film, "Sin-Jin Smyth" (scheduled for release in the Fall of 2006). Additionally they recently signed on to score Robert Kurtzman’s film, "The Rage." In 2006, Edward Douglas will begin pre-production on the horror suspense film he will be directing, "The Dead Matter." The band's next CD, "Out of the Darkness," will be released in summer 2006.
