HOTT MT Made A “Conceptual Re-Scoring” for the Disney Film Escape to Witch Mountain Called Escape to HOTT Mountain

Los Angeles’ Hour of the Time Majesty Twelve, or HOTT MT, released a “conceptual re-scoring” of Disney’s 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain on June 11, which they fittingly called Escape to HOTT Mountain. They’re releasing it digitally and on cassette and are encouraging fans to try synchronizing it with the film as shown here.

On the packaging, they parody the film’s original DVD’s artwork and text, saying “We’re all alien children being tricked by old billionaires into playing their games. Little do they know we have magic inside. We hope you find your escape to a brilliant light on the horizon that takes you to the place you belonged all along.”

Escape to Witch Mountain is a movie about two orphans with supernatural powers who try to run away from a millionaire who hired someone to pose as their uncle in order to exploit them for their powers. It was directed by horror director John Hough.

They pointed out that the film is “not the one with The Rock, sorry,” although they were curious to see if anyone would try synching with that 2009 remake, which is titled Race to Witch Mountain. HOTT MT hopes that their re-scoring will serve as an experience comparable to the “dark side of the rainbow,” which syncs up Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz (1939). The band states, “Here’s hoping you find your escape to a brilliant light on the horizon that takes you to the place you belonged all along💖 Big thanks to @sbipress for making this happen 💖”

HOTT MT are a duo consisting of Spooky (Nick Logie) and Ashi (Ashleigh Allard). Their previous album was 2019’s Earth on Heaven, which featured the mxdwn-premiered single “Dragon on the Rocks.”
