Midnight Syndicate is a US-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 and highly successfully gothic horror soundtracks. Synonymous with the horror music genre, Midnight Syndicate has established a worldwide following with their signature sound. 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 countless haunted attractions and homes across America and around the world. In addition to being featured in X-Box games, films, 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, a ghostly, chilling album 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 (in theatres October, 2006). Additionally they recently signed on to Hollywood FX legend Robert Kurtzman’s film, The Rage and will be announcing a third film score project in the next few months. Later in 2006, Edward Douglas will be returning to his film roots as a director/producer when pre-production begins on his horror suspense thriller The Dead Matter which he plans to film in Northeast Ohio.

-Thereafter, the line-up parted ways to explore separate projects. Joseph Vargo wrote and published a vampire novel entitled ''Tales from the Dark Tower'' and a set of ''Gothic Tarot'' cards and began his new similarly-veined musical project [[Nox Arcana]]. Band members [[Ed Douglas]] and [[Gavin Goszka]] released two other CDs in keeping with their mentor's concepts of an orchestrated musical style, though shedding the idea of giving their audience a "story" to follow and focusing more on having the listener create their own story to accompany the music.
-In 2003, Ed Douglas and Gavin Goszka made a diversion from the horror music genre to pursue the gaming market with their ''Dungeons & Dragons'' CD.
