Director Biography - Ted Joseph Ryback

We're Abby Synth and Thirst'n Howl! Together, we're Burton's Nightmare. We're known to many from other musical laboratories we've created (Toy Surprise Inside!, CosmicTronic, Digital Echo, Logic's End, Mechanizoid) but this is our horror inspired concoction. Formed in 2013, we wanted to create dark, instrumental anthems for the lovers of the macabre. Two groovy ghouls, marking our territory with a skull and cross bones of fun! Our inspiration comes from the magical artistry of Tim Burton with a penchant for dark, quirky sound scores written by the likes of Danny Elfman, Zombi and Goblin. Merging Progressive Rock anthems with a twinge of humor, the essence of Halloween runs rampant in our veins, along with an occasional 'humor injection' to the funny bone, because..horror SHOULD be fun! A favorite of Ed Wood's. ;)
