FIEND was scored over a weekend without sleep in the Dohler families basement. Woznicki recorded the films music on a Niagara field recorder under the direction of Don Dohler, totally improvised as the movie played in real time. The film’s music ranges from elegant piano pieces to dark and unnerving tracks played on a combination of synthesizers, as well as modified toys, that give this soundtrack its distinctive atmosphere. 

Plot summary - a supernatural entity - the pure essence of evil - enters an earthly graveyard and resurrects a rotting corpse.  The morbid being immediately kills a young woman, withdrawing her lifeforce to revive its decomposed body.  The Fiend eventually moves into a typical suburban neighborhood under the guise of a respectable music teacher. But the evil creature spreads terror throughout suburbia by preying on humans to maintain its own youth and vitality.  After a neighborhood child is found dead , the fiends next door neighbor becomes suspicious, and his probe leads him to an old cemetery that harbors the shocking truth. - from “B-Movie Horrors” John Thonen
