MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE UPDATE 4.23.04
April 23, 2004 (Cleveland, OH) - Midnight Syndicate has inked a deal with Warner Brothers-based Snapkick Productions, Inc. to compose the music for the upcoming feature film, SIN-JIN SMYTH - a story about two federal marshals transporting a prisoner who turns out to be the devil.
The film is to be produced by Lota Hadley and Ethan Dettenmaier (Respect the Dead, Knight Fever) and the production outfit is in negotiations with actors Richard Tyson (Blackhawk Down, Kindergarten Cop, Something About Mary) and Jason Hildebrandt (Blackhawk Down, The Dinner Party) to star.
Writer/Director Ethan Dettenmaier said “SIN-JIN SMYTH requires composers who understand horror in the classic design - we’re happy to be working with the best.” Producer Lota Hadley agreed, saying “Midnight Syndicate produces music that inspires cinematic greatness in horror films.”
“SIN-JIN SMYTH is an excellent story with a sinister backdrop that we’re looking forward to scoring to,” said Edward Douglas of Midnight Syndicate. “Additionally, we’re happy to be working with the top-notch creative team Snapkick has assembled.”
Production is set for early June. With much more information to follow, be sure to check www.MidnightSyndicate.com or join the official Legions of the Night Midnight Syndicate mailing list for updates.

About Midnight Syndicate
For the past seven years, Midnight Syndicate has produced gothic/horror soundscape CDs designed to spark listeners’ imaginations and take them into worlds of their own creation. In that time, they have become one of the leading producers of Halloween music in the world as well as the largest supplier of music to the Haunted Attraction and theme park industries.
With Halloween as a catalyst, the band’s music has been used on Monday Night Football, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Barbara Walters' Ten Most Fascinating People of 2002, The Today Show, and the NBA on TNT among others. It has set the background for Hugh Heffner’s Playboy Mansion Halloween parties, served as pre-show music for metal legend King Diamond’s world tour and been licensed for use in video games like Baldur's Gate 2 for Playstation2 and Ubisoft's Shadowbane.
As the leading supplier of music to the Haunted Attraction industry, the music of Midnight Syndicate is licensed for use in hundreds of haunted attractions every year. In 2003, the list included every major theme park company in the US - Universal Studios, Paramount, Six Flags, Sea World, Cedar Faire, and Anheuser Busch. The CDs were even sold outside of the world’s most famous haunted house, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion.
In 2002, Midnight Syndicate teamed up with Hasbro Games and Wizards of the Coast, to create the first official soundtrack to roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. Released in August of 2003, the CD broke all previous records for roleplaying game soundtrack sales and furthered the band’s ever-growing global following in the gaming, gothic, horror, and Halloween markets.
