"Who is the greatest composer of horror film soundtracks, and why?"
This really isn't my best subject, but I would have to say Mark Ayres. He composed the music to Suspiria, Halloween, The Shining, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Music in a movie is very important, because it can describe people, places, situations, anything in the movie without the use of any dialogue. Take for instance, a shot of a reclining chair. Add dark and menacing music to it, and you have an evil armchair. Add in some sad music, and maybe you have the favorite chair of a loved one that passed away, or something along those lines. Music is very important in any movie. Now without Mr. Mark Ayres, would the Overlook Hotel be as eery? Would Camp Crystal Lake be as threatening at night? Would Freddy be as scary? Maybe, but thats not the case, because he did compose the music for those movies, and without him, they may not be as popular as they are today. Thats why I chose Mark Aryes. |
Good answer, Psycom.
Please do NOT edit it till Judge NeverEnding has a chance to read it and pass his verdict. |

Judge NeverEnding has turned in his verdict, after a long, careful and patient analysis!!
This is what the esteemed Judge has to say... "Psycom5K, I was prepared to be very lenient on this question, as, after all, it's mostly a subjective matter. However, Psycom has FAILED the test by giving an inaccurate answer. Mark Ayres composed NONE of the scores you list. Suspiria was composed by Goblin. Halloween was composed by John Carpenter. The Shining soundtrack used a selection of classical numbers, with a main theme by Wendy Carlos. Nightmare on Elm Street was composed by Charles Bernstein. I give Psycom ONE POINT for turning in an answer. But I also punish him for such a crappy answer. I shoot Psycom one with Executor and once with Zoomer. You got off easy. Next time I won't be so nice." Sorry Psycom5K, but you have been SHOT twice by the Judge's handgun, and his choice of bullet-combos were EXECUTOR and ZOOMER! That equals 10 bullet wounds!! Which means, you stand to LOSE 10 HPs from your count, which are used to heal your wounds. Next time, do your research more carefully and venture a more accurate answer, or The presiding Judge wont be as forgiving as he was this time around. You may stand aside, and let either Disease or Posher come forward for their choice of envelopes. Battle Royale takes yet another break, till one of the above-mentioned two comes online... |
Oh good, I'm not crazy. I thought John Carpenter composed Halloween.

you see, I know nothing about the music composed in movies. so I tried looking up horror composers, and i came across information of a cd that was made, where people recomposed( I dunno if thats the right word, its more like a band covering another bands song) the music for the cd, and I thought that they did it themselves, because I was in too much of a hurry to get it done, and didn't check to see if it was right. So I guess I deserve it. So ya, thats gonna be it for me for a while. So I'm gonna go be pissed off at myself and neverending ( not that its his fault, it just makes me feel better.) |
Bad luck.
Wish I could have been an awesome Judge! :) |
I've chosen an envelope, So I hope ___V___ shows up before I go offline...

The fourth choice has been made.
Finalist DISEASE has chosen. And the chosen envelope is opened... ...which reveals a piece of paper saying... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... JUDGE ... ... ... ... ...AUSTIN316426808!! http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...avi/Austin.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...JudgeDredd.jpg Door #3 OPENS! ...And Judge Austin walks in, and sits across from Finalist Disease. Judge Austin's query to Disease - "What does the element of children bring to a horror movie, both as killers and as victims?" You have till Noon EST tomorrow to think over your answer, and post it in this thread accordingly, Disease. (since you are offline and have specifically requested it, I will grant it to you) Your answer will be then analyzed and awarded points on a scale of 0-10 by the Judge, who will then proceed to decide if you will incur any sort of punishment OR get any sort of reward for it. Good luck...think it over carefully, and then reply your answer IN THIS THREAD! FAILURE TO ANSWER WITHIN THE STIPULATED TIME WILL INCUR JUDGE AUSTIN'S WRATH AND YOU WILL BE RECEIVING A BRUTAL PUNISHMENT FROM HIM!! |
RE: "What does the element of children bring to a horror movie, both as killers and as victims?"
Dear Austin, Children can bring various things to a horror movie. Depending on ones own association with children, for instance if you are a parent or have younger siblings etc. They are sometimes the victims as in the exorcist, but it is generally more of an asociation with an older victim for the child character rather than them being killed or tortured. So I'm going to focuss on the fear that chilldren bring to the screen in horror movies. They represent our own fears and weaknesses from the evil chilldren of movies such as Children of the Corn, Village of the damned and Halloween we have seen children not as we would generaly whilst visiting the park. It gives adult viewers something real and unexpected to be fearfull of. I think shear shock of seeing someone you may feed and cloth and put to bed at night turning on you and ripping out your throat is probably one of the most fearfull aspects of horror. |
Good answer, D.
Please do NOT edit it till Judge Austin sees and evaluates it, and sends in his verdict. Nice effort. |
Update
Judge Austin hasnt been online yet to give his verdict... ...neither has Posher, to choose the last envelope. |

Judge Austin316426808 has turned in his verdict!!
DISEASE...you have been awarded a solid 7!! (out of a possible 10) The Judge has also decided to award you, and so you win a .44 Magnum with 6 bullets!! Way to go...and many congratulations. You may step aside now, and let the last Finalist, Posher, pick an envelope. |
Good job Disease!
|
Now I have a hand cannon, HO HO HO!

Sorry for the hold up everyone. I got everything working except internet... it's been sporatic. It randomly started to work so i'm hoping it will stay fixed. If it doesnt randomly shut down within the hour i'll doo the challenge. I just don't want to pick an envelope only to have my computer go apeshit again.
