Best Horror soundtrack in your opinion

[Dara]

In my humble opinion I think youd have to go far to beat the Suspiria soundtrack http://youtu.be/RBhF__cBH8E by Goblin...who incidentally did the music for Dawn of The dead too..http://youtu.be/PvkX19h8A5A .How about you?

I like most of the stuff Goblin have done, but my personal favourite is James Bernard's work in the hammer horror films....

Makes you want to don a cape and stride around your house menancingly doesnt it?? Or is that just me?

[Anthropophagus]

Not just you.... but I'm waaaaay ahead of you there. :cool:

If you hadnt said Suspiria Dara then i would have.In fact all Goblin`s work is top rate.It is isnt it? John Carpenters stuff sounds dated compared to their work

.As soon as I hear a keyboard/metal soundtrack im like "ooooh no John Carpenters at it again!!

[Elvis_Christ]

I really like Carpenter's stuff. Think I dig that it's dated because it takes me right back to that period in time.

Goblin have some dated prog sounding stuff too. They've done some top notch shit and have made all the movies the we involved with much more striking.

My favorite is soundtracks are pretty much anything by Bernard Herrmann.

Someone should get Electric Wizard to do the music for a horror flick.

[realdealblues]

I love Carpenter's stuff. Prince Of Darkness, Escape From New York & Halloween III are my favs.

Gobin, is great of course. I love Suspiria & Dawn Of The Dead.

Bernard Herrmann's score for Dracula alone puts him way up on the list.

One of my favorites to listen to is John Harrison's Day Of The Dead soundtrack.

I also love Fabio Frizzi's work with Lucio Fulci. I love listening to The Beyond, Zombie 2 & City Of The Living Dead soundtracks.

Maybe "V" should drum up another tournament of Greatest Horror Composers?

[Dara]

whilst I like Carpathian forest ,I find their use of saxophone disconcerting

Completely agree with these-I also like Emerson's soundtrack to Inferno :)

I agree completely. Dawn of the Dead is the geates horror movie of all time and has an awesome soundtrack, and the Suspiria soundtrack is top notch. I also like The Evil Dead soundtrack as well as the soundtrack for Friday the 13th.

PSYCHO by Bernard Herrmann.

Are you sure this is correct?

[InfernusChickx]

Am I really sad and pathetic for loving the Crow soundtrack....it's bordering on obsessive now!

[Dara]

Nowt wrong with The Crow soundtrack!!.I really like the soundtrack for 28 days later too.Dead atmospheric.

[Straker]

Herrmann did the music/ sound effects for many of the Mercury Theatre productions, which included an adaptation of Dracula... Not sure this is what realdealblues is refering too. Personally I don't think it's Herrmanns best work, but overall its a quality production, along with so many of the Mercury Theatre adaptations. Orson Welles is a legend.

Here's a link to Dracula and more, I'm sure you'll love it:

I really love The Cure's Burn on that soundtrack :)

[InfernusChickx]

I listen to the Crow Sountrack almost daily....almost as bad as watching SOA everyday or Supernatural. I get totally obsessed with stuff sometimes!!!
gonna listen to Evanescence TODAY, for a change :-)

[InfernusChickx]

getting worried about my hubby tho...he is listening to Enya a little too often!!!

Yeah, I sure do. Many thanks for the link; I've added it to favorites already. To be miasmically nitpicky, I did notice the article said Herrmann "conducted" the music, not "composed" it, and the first piece they play was Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, but I forwarded the show to some other music and it did sound like it could be Herrmann's. When I get some time I'll listen to the whole thing...maybe Halloween night after trick or treating's done.

I know he conducted all the Mercury Theatre stuff he was involved in and arranged the scores. He wrote alot of the music too, but I'm not sure how much of the overall content is original. I'm pretty sure the majority of the music is composed by Herrmann though. :cool:

[InfernusChickx]

i think he's getting rotten. throw him away before he started to stink and attract the flies

I kind of like him tho....he's good at emptying the bin :-S

It'd be great if some music comany put out a box set of his Mercury Theatre stuff. I'm sure there's even enough material for a solid double-disker.

[42ndego]

Anything by White Zombie, hands down.

[Ice Pik]

Queen of the Damned Soundtrack was amazing I thought. I think that and the Braveheart soundtrack are the only two I own. Braveheart cause it's an inside joke between and a friend.

Also Keith Emerson's Soundtrack for Soavi's The Church (1989)
