Blue Ghost,

Damnation Alley was a 1977 movie based on the short story and novel of the same name by Roger Zelazny. It featured the 12-wheel Landmaster traveling across the post-nuclear U.S.

Damnation Alley was finally released on DVD and Blu-ray a few years ago. The DVD and Blu-ray versions of the movie are still available from Amazon.com and other Internet retailers.

The Damnation Alley novel is worth reading. Its story has several differences from the movie.

Damnation Alley has a few scenes that have memorable music, especially the tracks that play when the Landmaster is filmed driving across desert landscapes. The soundtrack was never released until a few months ago.

Damnation Alley was one of works of car combat media that led me to Car Wars, therefore the film is one of my favorite titles, and I was pleased the Damnation Alley soundtrack was finally released.
