Canadian composer Spencer Creaghan’s career has been taking off. Not only has he been recognized by the SOCAN awards as recently as 2020 in addition to awards in each year between 2013 and 2019, but he also provided strings and orchestration on the album, “Martyr,” by Lindsay Schoolcraft of Cradle of Filth, which features Rocky Gray of Evanescence and was nominated for a JUNO Award in 2020.

Creaghan’s music can be heard in diverse media, such as the action film “Black Water” (2018) starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, for which he composed the score, and Ubisoft Games’ “Tom Clancy’s Shadowbreak,” for which he composed the trailer and mobile app music with Isaias Garcia. When he’s not working with bands or on film and television scores, Creaghan writes his own music, and is particularly fond of the symphonic metal genre.

His on the SyFy film, “Letters to Satan Claus,” led to his job on the Syfy Channel’s new supernatural show, SurrealEstate, which stars Tim Rozon as Luke Roman, the head of a real estate agency that focuses on haunted and/or possessed houses. The show reunites Rozon with Sarah Levy as well — both were on the Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek. 

The Nerd Element recently chatted with Spencer Creaghan about his career, including what he loves about composing and what it’s like to write scores for different media, and how he creates the spooky sounds and themes for an ongoing horror series.

Hi Fellow Nerds!! Check out our collaboration with Gui from Peartree Family YouTube! Watch as Gui takes on the Death nut challenge. Do you have what it takes to do the same? Let us know in the comments! Make sure you like and subscribe to Peartree Family as well!

When my wife showed up with a package that said Death Nuts on it i had no idea what to say. She claimed that there is no way I could do the challenge. I was unwilling to back down and let me tell you it was not easy. I was not able to survive the 5 minute after burn as required, but i survived. The lesson of the day though was that the after effects are much worse. The pain came 1 to 2 hours after finishing the challenge. my stomach was in severe pain and it needed to get all the spice out by any means necessary; any means!!! After some stomach pain, several trips to the bathroom, and doing everything the internet told me to, i felt better. I finished, and i am willing to do it again.

Time definitely is not guaranteed, folks!  I'm often reminded of the Prince 1999 lyric-"2000 zero zero party over oops out of time"  during these trying, truncated and communicable diseased times.  Anyway...let's jump to it! Listen to a new installment of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse broadcast airing every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 internet radio platform.  Your gamma irradiated AFROnerdist hosts will be highlighting the following issues: whelp, we didn't see this coming-it seems that the WB are getting ready to release an animated version of the 1968 George Romero horror classic, Night of the Living Dead.  Take a peak at this trailer:

We will finally give our impressions of the recently released third season of Titans (formerly part of the DC Universe streaming service) now being shown on HBO Max ; another Black male maturing hip hop artist passes prematurely-Bay Area legend Steve "Zumbi" Gaines of Zion I dies at 49:

It appears that T'challa has to save the Avengers from themselves once again but this time it's in virtual/video game form.  More details are getting revealed about the forthcoming War of Wakanda DLC for the Marvel's Avengers VG;  Apparently, Legendary Entertainment will be producing a My Hero Academia anime to live action translation and they have director Shinsuke Sato on board and making his English-language debut;  is Stephen Amell really coming back for another season of the CW's Arrow after it was cancelled 2 seasons ago?;  More information is coming out about Hulu's upcoming graphic novel to streaming series, Y: The Last Man and as expected the '02 comic must be updated to pivot toward today's sensibilities concerning gender and identity;  Lastly, predictions are coming in for the highly anticipated Marvel film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and may fall below expectations.  And then there's Disney CEO, Bob Chapek's use of the term "experiment" to describe Shang's theatrical release strategy (versus the simultaneous streaming option).  We give our thoughts.
