Listings in the Times Guide? It's pretty neat looking, but I'm not sure I'd want to sit around and just wait for it to come eventually. I don't recognize the music, but it certainly sounds like something James Newton Howard (Atlantis, Dinosaur) could have done

It was really one of the Horned King's gwythaint creatures who was out scouring the countryside for us Cauldron girls. We'd recognize that awful thing anywhere. Just goes to show how much under the Horned King's thumb we really are!!!
