scary horror music !!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what music do you all think has been the scariest from a horror movie ?
i think the music from psycho is scary

i liked the soundtrack to "house", that and "Halloween"

The music to Living Dead at the manchester morgue is really eery. I like some of the Goblin stuff done for Argento - 'Witch' in Suspira is preety creepy.

Goblin's DAWN OF THE DEAD score is great as is their work on SUSPIRIA, TENEBRE and DEEP RED

Carpenter's HALLOWEEN might be the second most iconic horror music (behind Bernard Herrman's PSYCHO)

James Bernard's work for Hammer Films is really solid, particularly on THE CURSE OF fRANKENSTEIN, THE HORROR OF DRACULA, THE DEVIL RIDES OUT and FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED (just to name a few)

'The Omen' has a quality soundtrack, perfect for the film. 'Halloween' & 'Jaws' both have good soundtracks too.

I

I think the theme to THE OMEN is the creepiest piece of music I've ever heard. Some of the PSYCHO stuff comes in second.

Goblin

This one sounds creepy to me, some people think it sounds happy, to each their own.

More Goblin



Here's a link with a few good ones, no classics though. The music of Vampyr is great, but do some searching, there is a TON of great horror movie music out there.

Horror MUSIC?

WTF?

I think the music played to the chase scene at the start of 28 weeks later was the best ever. it suited it to a tee. great stuff.

yeah, i like that piece too but the best ever is an opinion i cant agree with.

Almost anything played with the aquasonic waterphone...

Yeah i guess i got a little excited. Just that is one of my fav scenes out of just about any movie ive seen for a long time. To me thats what a horror is all about being place in a postion ya would hate to be in.

Jaws.
Psycho.
Zombie Flesh Eaters.
Night of the Living Dead (1968).
Halloween.
The Exorcist.

Omen,evil dead,nightmare on elm st.

GOBLIN (Suspiria, Deep Red Profondo Rosso, Tenebrae, Opera, etc etc)
Halloween (Halloween Part III Season of the Witch theme called Chariots of Pumpkins I thought was even better then the original)
28 Days Later (or Weeks)
Candyman
the Omen
the Exorcist
Friday the 13th

I myself enjoy the original Dawn of the Dead, and of course one of every ones favorites Halloween.:D

the exorcist is definitely the most chilling. i like the silence of the lambs soundtrack - powerful.

as for fun with horror film soundtracks - i love the gorillaz opening for M1A1 with the tune from Day of the Dead

i must say,robert rodriguez did a great job with the music from dusk til dawn,i imagine he had help from quentin.
tarantino is the master of the soundtrack.

american werewolf in paris/london was good.....return of the living dead had GREAT music!

Good sound tracks but not scary in the least.
