horror soundtracks

Classics, new ones, all of your favorites. List them here.

Mine:

Carrie
Nosferatu
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (it counts!)
Blood on Satan's Claw
Carnival of Souls
Creepshow

for starters

Listening to Nosferatu (Popul Vuh) right now and played Carrie (Donaggio) last night!

Wait Until Dark
Creepshow
Poltergeist
The Case of the Bloody Iris
The Fog

I really really dig all the needle-drop in George Romero movies, too.

Su-su-suspiria, obviously. Too obvious to even really mention, I guess, but we might as well get it out of the way.

Not necessarily as a standalone soundtrack, but the Radiophonic sound-work on The Stone Tape is magnificent...

Children of the Corn is classic and has Linda Hamilton singing on one track.
House at the Edge of the Dark has a cool Gobliny vibe and is super fun to listen to when you're going for a walk through a sunny residential neighborhood.

I'm trying to list all of the best ones for people who have not yet discovered how wonderful they are, so we need to mention them ALL. Suspiria FOR SURE.

speaking of the obvious: halloween

texas chainsaw massacre

Shore, both The Brood and The Fly

That was definitely the Nosferatu I was referring to.

I've never heard The Brood! Gotta find that.

Rosemary's Baby obvs.

last house on dead end street is mostly library music but still v v effective
shock waves

Have there been any really great new ones? (Not reissues, but those are cool too)

I LOVE library music. I have a little KPM collection, but it's not significant by any means.

the thing

the exorcist

Jaye Barnes Luckett, who did the soundtrack for May, did a pretty nice job, I think.

xpost

the thing (morricone)
the house by the cemetary
fearless vampire killers dracula prince of darkness (perhaps the pinnacle of james bernard's orchestral thud and blunder)
tenebrae
deep red
the wicker man
psycho
dressed to kill

Oh god

How could I have forgotten my favorite of them all?! THE WICKER MAN.

Oh jesus christ!

goes w/o saying

i thought you were holding it back for a special occasion!

I was going to hold it back until the good lord wed me, but I got caught up in the moment. Please excuse my indiscretion.

Candyman (Glass) is pretty good too.

I was pretty disappointed in the music for The Wicker Tree, btw. The songs themselves were...ok, and the scoring was super syrupy and distracting. Could have been hammy, but in a different way.

The Wicker Man is up there with Suspiria for obviousness, but if this is comprehensive, then HELL YES, that soundtrack is so so great.

My brain has completely blanked on non-obvious stuff, to be honest. I might have to skim through the record collection and see what else I've got.

(Oh, not one film specifically, but would recommend the Bollywood Bloodbath comp, which has tracks from Bollywood horrors.)

Seconded on the CANDYMAN score. Very creepy, and the movie itself was surprisingly effective.

Some great sound design in the first HELLRAISERS, but the score itself doesn't seem that memorable.

HALLOWEEN should get some ups, too.

Thanks for the discussion about this in the poll thread, btw. I don't know why I've never really thought about procuring horror scores before (especially no-brainers like Creepshow, whose music I LOVE). But I guess I have a new thing to get all obsessive about now.

Badalamenti's Lynch scores (particularly Mulholland Dr.) are great, as is Eraserhead.

I know it's totally cheating, but Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age seems very much as if it were intended to sound like a horror score/soundtrack from the '60s/'70s. Very creepy and great and well worth checking out if you dig horror scores. But then I could probably spin off a whole other thread of stuff that fits that "soundalike" bill (Comus, Olivia Tremor Control side projects, Pomme Fritz).

Not horror, but I watched Master of the Flying Guillotine/One Armed Boxer 2 last night and was flipping out about the crazy proto sludge electro soundtrack which sounded amazing yet oddly familiat, and then looked it up on imdb and found out that it is literally Neu! songs slowed down to half or quarter speed.

Whoa that is so cool!

Spasmo, The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, Four Flies On Grey Velvet, Cat o' Nine Tails (all by Morricone, I'm sure there are more good 'uns)
Kwaidan
Phantasm
Psychomania
Blood On Satan's Claw

Whoa, JJJ, okay, I have to catch that.

Is the soundtrack to Psychomania available? The opening credits to that are so GREAT it makes me want to scream.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mik1c8yPLTc&feature=related

emil.y tell me if you find it!!

it isnt the whole thing, just several spots. its arguably one of the best insano kung fu movies of all time too, so you wouldnt be wasting your time either way. xpost

Psychomania s/t came out on Trunk records, I guess it's still available

i would contribute some modern horror soundtracks i can get behind but my mind is drawing a complete blank

Eh this thread is here when it comes back.

After this horror score discussion started, I realized that the flipside of the Blair Witch 2 (ugh) DVD is a CD of the Carter Burwell score I've never listened to. Will check it out and report back.

xxxpost The only thing that's even coming to mind is Requiem for a Dream, but I'd be happy to never hear those four notes ever again thx.

Huh. I like Carter Burwell -- sometimes a little too precious for me, but I like him.

I think this thread needs a little Vuh tbh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLiBkEhs2QE&feature=related

Or if you prefer, Goblin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nHV6MAA1K8&feature=related

Finders Keepers records doing a lot of work on making this stuff available:

http://www.finderskeepersrecords.com/

Not usually much bothered about soundtracks detached from celluloid, but these reissues look fabulous

Oh yeah, I love Finders Keepers!

Also should mention La La Land Records itt -- they have good sales too!

My favorite score is by Carter Burwell (Millers Crossing fyi)

Yay I'm so glad you started this thread LL. I was already working on a post about my top 50 scores from the horror movie poll. It will take me another day or so though.

Have there been any really great new ones? (Not reissues, but those are cool too)

Yes, there have. From the last few years:

--Conrad Pope, The Presence, 2011. Elegant, sinuous, eerie, with amazing solo writing for bassoon. Tied with Tree Of Life for the best score of 2011 IMO. Pope is John Williams' orchestrator but he has his own voice and color pallete.

--Christopher Gordon, Daybreakers, 2009 (?). Huge, imposing, dark as hell, very original. Gordon has full, natural command of the post-WWII compositional toolbox. He manages here to use the BIG TAIKO DRUMS trope in a non-hackneyed way.

--Marco Beltrami, Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, 2011. This is basically a deliberate and totally successful throwback to the great 70s horror scores of Goldsmith and the Italians.

--Christian Henson, Black Death, 2010. Period instruments, monastic vocalizing and dark-ambient techniques wickedly deployed to create thee doom score of the past decade. Henson seems really promising to me.

--Danny Elfman, The Wolf Man, 2010. Elfman takes the basic vibe of what Kilar did for Coppola's Dracula and boils it radically down to sheer, teeth-gritted, undiluted mid-tempo gypsy death tread.

--Christopher Young, Exorcism Of Emily Rose and Drag Me To Hell. Young is without doubt the horror score king of the post-Goldsmith/Morricone generation. He must have done at least 20 essential horror scores by now. These two sum up his strengths pretty comprehensively. Emily Rose veers between avant shriek-clouds and pellucid dread and passages of Bartokian head-banging and is incessantly inventive. Drag Me is the ultimate descendant of Young's Hellraiser massive slightly camp satanic liturgy style with really cool use of guttural vocalizations and solo violin.

--Michael Giacchino, Let Me In, 2010. Nothing else in Giacchino's generally upbeat, dynamic discography hints at this sound. Its closest kin is Shore's Silence of the Lambs music. He somehow manages to make over an hour of processional-tempo, relentlessly stygian music be engaging and arresting all the way through.

I also really liked the over-the-top assault of the music for Insidious, though I don't have the album. I'm sure I'm forgetting several things above.

xpost Carter Burwell's Blair Witch music is amazing.

Was just listening to bits of the original Texas Chainsaw score on youtube the other day. That and the followup, Eaten Alive, are some really disturbing clanking and banging; great work from Hooper and Wayne Bell. Eraserhead is very effective sound design as well.

i remember liking the Cabin Fever soundtrack quite a bit but never owned it so i cant vouch in full

this
sounds
so
good

Didn't much like the Insidious score.

Oh, duh. Not NEW new, but the score for Ravenous is all-time.

The movie Insidious scared me so badly that I don't think I could handle the score. Something about that woman and the house, yikes almighty.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty zzzzzzzzz throughout.

So I'm biased that way.

Yeah I dunno how it would serve as a stand alone listen. Maybe too in-face.

^^ that

I was in a super tense mood anyway when I saw it, so I think it was just my personal state. I'm sure the movie isn't really all that scary.

Also if Herzog ever does horror again I can't wait to hear how Ernst Reijseger scores it. He's amazing.

AGREED. I loved his music for Cave of Forgotten Dreams!

All the Argento ones mentioned upthread. I also have a lot of time for Keith Emerson's prog-jazz freakout score to Inferno.

It'd probably be easier to list the gialli whose soundtracks i don't love rather than the ones i do.

Cannibal Holocaust's theme is really quite beautiful - probably the best thing about the film. Fabio Frizzi's Zombi 2 is another classic.

Plus Vampyros Lesbos / She Killed In Ecstasy, of course.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M2cisqO1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Ok I just remembered this movie on another thread and was thinking that the soundtrack was really good and this confirms that thought - Dark Night of the Scarecrow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PXDUOGwFus&feature=youtube_gdata_player

John Justen that sdtrack has been released! I think you can DL sample mp3s from here:

http://www.2m1records.com/darknight

YES

maybe a little bit knowing, but it's new and it's from a horror flick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF6oxtDt-fQ&feature=related

Paul McCollough - passage to normal (end credits) (Night Of The Living Dead, 1990)

John Massari - Killer Klowns March (Killer Klowns From Outer Space, 1988)

yes x1000 to killer klowns

some faves with a more traditional approach, Bernard Herrmann style

Richard Band - Main Title: Bride Of Re-Animator (Bride Of Re-Animator, 1990)
Christopher Young - hellbound heart

..and YES the cacophonic Insidious score is unbelievable effective, love it.

thought about Chu Ishikawa - megatron (Tetsuo), but nah

ofc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcT5u7y2_yA

not sure if it's a horror movie (never seen) but Tangerine Dream's sdtk for Sorcerer is wicked: alternately creepy & beautiful synthscapes

not a horror movie - it's a remake of the wages of fear

Coil's Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreleased_Themes_for_Hellraiser

(lots on youtube if you search)

xpost I've tried with Richard Band, he just doesn't seem to do it for me. His treatment of Herrmann's music for Reanimator does nothing useful IMO and his other stuff usually sounds like Goldsmith with less spark. I dunno I'll give him more chances I'm sure. I do like Troll but there again it's such a Goldsmith rip.

My eMusic credits refreshed yesterday so last night I got Dark Night Of The Scarecrow for 5.99. Listening to it now. This is pretty awesome, accomplished stuff! Love the piano flourishes and the the 2-note hook. I can't tell though if what I'm hearing on a lot of the cues is electronic pitch manipulation or serious tape wow.

Oh, it's on emusic? I'll have to add it. Thx!

Oh, well, if Godzilla counts as 'horror':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRct_nTop30

"Mothra, oh Mothra.. Please bless the wish of us, your lowly people, with all your might. Please wake up and show us your might."
beautiful.

The best version of that is much older, but I couldn't find a youtube. There seem to have been a good few re-workings over the years.

Song from "War of the Gargantuas" covered by DEVO:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P6EN4xg6qY

^^^Ha! I remember that scene and song. Pulled heavily for the green gargantua. Forget who ultimately won.

All the Argento ones mentioned upthread. I also have a lot of time for Keith Emerson's prog-jazz freakout score to Inferno.

It'd probably be easier to list the gialli whose soundtracks i don't love rather than the ones i do.

Zombi 2 has just been reissued on http://www.deathwaltzrecordingcompany.com/

The label looks set to be great.

"Founded by Spencer Hickman manager of Rough Trade East in London Death Waltz Recording Company will concentrate on delivering high end collectors vinyl that will include extensive liner notes from composers and directors as well as brand new and exclusive artwork from a variety of fine artists all releases will be on ltd coloured vinyl and contain bonus screen prints and posters. Death Waltz Recording Company are set to become the premier vinyl soundtrack label for cult film enthusiasts!"

I bought the reissue of Rosemary's Baby for myself as a lol mother's day present and
(1) I made the mistake of listening to it late at night when I was the only one awake. The dream sequence song with the chanting? I swear I haven't been that scared in a LONG TIME. I was paralyzed in the kitchen, heart racing. THAT is a horror soundtrack.

(2) This morning I looked up Komeda and found this rather interesting documentary about him -- seems pretty good if you are interested in composing, jazz, Polish people, and Hollywood.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZALOroRkcY&feature=related

I also bought Night of the Creeps (which is by the composer responsible for Xanadu and The Warriors, Barry DeVorzon) and it's pretty good, but I've only listened to it once.

Being my own favourite movie soundtrack in general, I would like to add Pino Donaggios soundtrack for Don't look now to the list and strongly advocate for it. For reasons I don't really comprehend this one's relatively unknown in contrast to his other works and equally hard to get. Eventually got hold of a vinyl copy from Australia some years ago.

When I visited Venice in a very foggy February in 2007 with friends, the score was with us all the time. Tremendous experience.

man I should buy that Rosemary's CD. So hard to allocate funds for so many cool things.

Re: Don't Look Now, it is readily available as a download from eMusic. I've thought about getting it numerous times. I don't really know much Donaggio, and the last time I saw the film was well before I started paying attention to scores.

I love Donaggio! Carrie is my favorite. In fact, that's what Night of the Creeps reminds me of now that I think about it.
I totally need to get Don't Look Now. Man, that movie is SO GOOD.

Oh man. I need to spend some time on this thread.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HvJfeSk1RU

Cat People rules, good call.

couldn't bring myself to vote for it in the horror movie poll, but it is such a fascinating train wreck

Speaking of trainwrecks, I recently scored vinyl of Exorcist 2: Heretic. It does have its moments!

Exorcist 2 is one of my all time favorite horror scores and probably in my top 5 Morricones. That main title, ye gods!

Super excited because I found a bootleg on a msg board for Gil Melle's amazing score to The Sentinel (batshit 70s gates-of-hell movie)

Pretty boss:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY9q1IXlkbU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzGmc1xkVmo

...This is one of my all time favorite film music pieces. I heard it in The Church, and I was pretty astonished but it is only played briefly and I couldnt find out who it was by. It is Martin Goldray performing Phillip Glass' "Floe". I like it far more than the original Glass version, but sadly it is only included on some versions of the soundtrack and unless it has been reissued recently, it is really hard to find the complete version. An Emerson track follows it on this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InWxopfyPs0

...I'm cheating with videogame soundtracks because this is as good as any film score. The first two Yamaoka Silent Hill soundtracks and Yamane- Castlevania Symphony Of The Night are essential even if you dont care about games (I barely play games anymore but still love the soundtracks).

There is one problem with the first Silent Hill soundtrack cd, since there were so many long tracks, Yamaoka had to mix and edit them together to fit on one cd, so this track is not heard in its full glory. But dont let that put you off.
This track used to scare the living shite out of me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5_iJGjV8bc

...This is a very menacing track from Berserk animated series by Susuma Hirasawa formerly of P-Model and several incredible soundtracks such as Paprika.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDOMIO8OGJc

Here is the trailer to Schock with music by Libra, a band which had some members from Goblin. I post the trailer because it has two of the best tracks and this is what I saw that made me get the soundtrack. I still havent seen the actual film. This is essential for Goblin fans and I was pleased that Stephen Thrower (Coil, Cyclobe, horror film scholar) even called it one of the best Goblin soundtracks.

There are two Stephen Thrower links I'm not doing because my computer keeps crashing, but are very much worth a look. One is on his personal block where he gives a picture list of what he considers the essential horror soundtracks, mostly italian stuff.
The other is a article at The Guardian which he does an abbreviated version of his lecture on horror soundtracks. Complete with youtube links.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-256kNll_9o

This is the first and only soundtrack I've heard to the original Nosferatu by Art Zoyd. At first it sounded a bit too odd, but the more I watched it, the more sense the music made to the point that I didnt think any of the more traditional soundtracks could better it, even though I havent heard that, so my claim is boldly ignorant. James Bernard has done the most acclaimed version but I really doubt it is as good as this.

Art Zoyd also did Murnau's Faust and I'd love to hear it.

Kritzerland is pleased to present a new world premiere limited edition soundtrack CD:

WHEN A STRANGER CALLS
Music Composed and Conducted by Dana Kaproff

http://kritzerland.com/when_stranger.htm

Saw that announcement yesterday. Tempted.

xpost I still don't have James Bernard's Nosferatu score though it's been on my list for awhile. I love his music for The Devil Rides Out and 7 Golden Vampires and of course DRAC-oola, DRAC-oola-DRAC-oola...

last house on dead end street

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiUZCBEIsTQ

^ quality video accompaniment on that one btw

"terry is the answer" lol

--Christian Henson, Black Death, 2010. Period instruments, monastic vocalizing and dark-ambient techniques wickedly deployed to create thee doom score of the past decade. Henson seems really promising to me.
finally got this and it's great! Quietly menacing, perfect for the morning imo

Yay!

Horror music I like that I didn't notice mentioned above:

PAPERHOUSE by Hans Zimmer
EYES WITHOUT A FACE by Maurice Jarre

And these movies aren't horror but their soundtracks scratch the same itch:

SUPER 8 by Michael Giaccino
BIRTH by Alexandre Desplat
LORD OF THE FLIES by Philippe Sarde
SUNSHINE by John Murphy

Yeah Desplat has yet to do a true horror score. His most disturbing one is probably Hostage.

If you like Sarde LotF you HAVE to have his score for Ghost Story. It's the ultimate in sort of beautiful eery impressionist menace.

^ "Ghost Story" soundtrack is amazing!!

Desplat's "Birth" soundtrack is used so often as temp music in un-scored movies I can't even deal with that stuff.

It's interesting how things assume that status... Is it the bit with the posse of flutes that gets temp-tracked all the time?

I hope Ghost Story gets reissued sometime. I only have mp3s of it and it's been oop forever.

I'm told by score geeks that the secret ingredient of Ghost Story's score, not to take anything away from Sarde, is the wizardly orchestration by Peter Knight. He also orchestrated Trevor Jones' first few scores (Dark Crystal, Savage Island et al).

Yes, it's very busy and dated and I love it. ("Ghost Story"). Was recommended just yesterday to check out the Coil "Hellraiser" score, I guess it's a no-brainer but I'd never heard it 'til this morning.

I wish it was the flute cue from "Birth", I love that cue. It's one of the more bucolic ones with strings and a upward spiraling harp line. Desplat drives me nuts, his scores are great, sure, but so many non-music fans walk away thinking he's also responsible for Wagner, Smetena, Britten, etc.

What I mean is that it'll be "Music by Alexandre Desplat" when it's actually 90% Britten ("Moonrise Kingdom") or 0% Desplat ("The Tree of Life") and even though you and I know better you know that the executive branch does not

Listening to the Possession soundtrack RIGHT NOW. I AM VERY TENSE.

At least they've moved on from using the REQUIEM FOR A DREAM soundtrack for every movie trailer ever.

Yeah the Tree Of Life thing took some explaining, especially since what Desplat actually wrote was a tie for my favorite score of last year (with Conrad Pope's amazing bassoon-and-ensemble score for the el cheapo horror The Presence). My friend was blown away by the Smetana used in the actual film so I made her a mix CDR of Czech orchestral faves.

Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson's soundtrack for The Legend of Hell House--all ten minutes of it--is a creepy delight.

texas chainsaw massacre

― diamanda ram dass (Edward III)

^^ one of my favourite albums ever. kinda like the template for my favourite wolf eyes related stuff - the more static stuff from dead machines, etc.

also, some of carl zittrer's slasher soundtracks - black christmas, prom night and this in particular :

― Ward Fowler, Monday, July 16, 2012

Ha, no worries.

Black Christmas has never been released on LP or CD, has it...?

I'm a big fan of John Murphy's 28 Weeks Later soundtrack (not to be confused with 28 Days Later). It's unlike most of the other soundtracks mentioned in that it feels more like instrumental rock. But while it's not breaking new ground, I find the slowly building guitars, and the ultimate payoff, pretty pleasurable.

Halloween II and III now on sale on Death Waltz... <3 alan howarth!!

Halloween II

John Carpenter and Alan Howarth managed to do something not many people have been able to do with their score to Halloween II. They managed to take the blueprint of the first films score and make it bigger, bolder, darker and nerve shreddingly intense. Synths wail and stutter as the score progresses to the point where you feel your head might implode from the oncoming onslaught. This score really should be played late at night with all of the lights out.
This edition comes with all new artwork by Brandon Schaefer and sleevenotes by Alan Howarth and Brandon Schaefer.The vinyl is orange and black colour in colour effect and it also comes with a variant colourway 12 x 12 lithograph print and a folded A2 poster

Halloween III : Season Of The Witch
You have to bow down before John Carpenter & Alan Howarth. Their score for Halloween III is so far ahead of it's time it's mind boggling. Halloween III is a tour de force of experimental synth tones, intense melodies and dark brooding mood pieces. This is one of my favourite scores of all time and I am honored to have the chance to release it.
This edition comes with all new cover art by Jay Shaw and features sleevenotes by Alan Howarth and Jay Shaw. The vinyl comes in an Orange & Black colour in colour effect with a 12 x 12 lithograph and a folded A2 poster of the cover art

I have I and II and I never remember to listen to II. I should fix that.

Howarth recently produced new recordings, using vintage synths, of the Morricone/Carpenter The Thing score and Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13 with Dark Star. I've been hearing good things about them.

This is pretty boss. I'd like to hear the rest. (Good flick, too.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uloZ0A6GhAM

^^^ this is super creepy

i mean that in the best possible way

Not entirely consisting of horror soundtrack music, but a good chunk of this mix is, and the rest is super synthy: http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/09/chrome-canyon-mix-soundtracks

oooooOOOOOOoooooo
looks good

can't wait to hear "Moochie Mix 4"

Is that the one where they go into space?

People go into space in Christine?

Here it is, guess I don't have to sit through that whole mix
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaPwo6EJuB0

Sorry, I was making a somewhat oblique joke – the fourth entry in a lot of horror franchises goes into space

Christine 4 Under the Hood!

Only SORT OF a horror score, but much too urgent not to bring up here: the impeccable FSM label is down to less than 200 copies of Jerry Goldsmith's amazing music for The Illustrated Man, and there won't be any more pressed.

One of the most inventive and psyched-out things he ever did, absolutely on par with Planet of the Apes and Alien. Unrepentant abstract moog weirdness, coral electric sitars, delicious vocalese, Bartokian chamberisms, luscious 60s studio sound quality.

http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/2358/THE-ILLUSTRATED-MAN/

Oooh that sounds good. Thanks for the tip.

I think u and thnig will like!

O yeah-- J Justen! Same website (Screen Archives) has the May soundtrack in its clearance section for 5 bucks. I think you were looking for that...?

SUPER exciting news! Due December 10th:

anyone know if the soundtrack to Legend of Hell House (by Derbyshire/Hodgson and an uncredited Dudley Simpson) is available anywhere in any form? Watched this Wednesday night and WANT.

Great movie (until the very end).. forgot Derbyshire was involved. Now I'll need to watch it again.

Yeah I loved it! Especially the visual compositions, which reminded of Gene Colan's layouts on the Tomb Of Dracula comics. (I suppose the influence is probably the other way around tho).

Yeah I like that title better too. But WG is not a half-bad title.

Other hot tip, Kritzerland is about to do a reissue of the Carrie soundtrack which sold out in like a day when they did it before. It will be just a single CD of the complete score this time though, the 2nd cd with the shorter album program won't be included. I think it goes live this tuesday or poss the tuesday after that.

Also, after having my first listen to Bish Bosch today it was really hard to figure out what to follow new Scott Walker with. But then I remembered Howard Shore's music for The Cell and yes it is still one of the most amazing recordings of this century and a fine avant-Stygian match for nu-Scott.

okay WTF I am experiencing a crossed-streams mind explosion. Just learned that the great Leonard Rosenman (who composed the fearsomely avant-garde scores to The Prophecy, Sibyl, Fantastic Voyage, the 2nd Planet of the Apes film, Bakshi's LOTR, etc etc) was the arranger and producer on the Linda Perhacs album. She was his dentist. Help! My brain!!!

Add dentistry to any equation and it's going to result in a pretty severe brain fritz for me. Yikes.

BTW i just got hold of a few cues from Rosenman's music to Sibyl. You, LL, should hear them, they are freeeeky. Will try to remember to upload this weekend and send u link.

Oooh thanks!!

sent u a mail through the ILX system!

Apparently this song was used in the end credits of the American version of Tenebrae – which was the version that Argento and Claudio Simonetti did a commentary track for. They were not happy when it got to that part.

Crazy things have always happened when Italian genre productions come to the US. They used to have Les Baxter completely re-score stuff for American release!

To be fair, the reverse is also true – I think Evil Dead II was known as House V there.

lol

Whereas House 2 made its way across the pond as Army Of Darkness 7

Yeah, looks like I got them reversed – my memory is based off of some international posters I saw the convention a couple years ago.

"In Italy, The Evil Dead was released under the title La Casa ("The House") and Evil Dead II became La Casa II. These were followed by three unrelated movies: Umberto Lenzi's La Casa 3 (aka Ghosthouse) (1988), Fabrizio Laurenti's La Casa 4 (aka Witchery) (1988) and Claudio Fragasso's La Casa 5 (1990). This is similar to what has happened in George A. Romero's Living Dead series starting with Zombi 2. House II: The Second Story (1987) and The Horror Show (1989) were retitled La Casa 6 and La Casa 7 respectively in their Italian releases."

(Horror conventions are populated by some weird people, by the way)

That rules. I want to establish an obscure European nation and release my alltime top 20 horror films there retitled to all be in the same series!

1) thanks! got your email, will listen ASAP!!
2) Crazy things have always happened when Italian genre productions come to the US.
TROLL 2 anyone?

No thanks!

Never again. I could sit through the first one one more time probz, for the cuet puppets.

and Goldsmith ripoff music

I don't know, I could do Troll 2 again. First one is just kind of boring – and it's not like the second one is a thrill a minute, but the WTF moments are way more entertaining.

They each have their charms! I like the part in Troll where the dad is air guitaring to Blue Cheer and JL-D as a forest sprite (unless I'm misremembering?). I basically like everything about Troll 2.

god the air guitar scene is AMAZING

The burning Rick Wakeman.

The Waker-man. Set it alight.

B-but what if I click on that and then I like a Rick Wakeman? Can I take that chance?

http://www.mondotees.com/The-Deadly-Spawn-Original-Soundtrack-LP_p_721.html

Sold out at source but sure to be hitting distros soon.

I love the Emanuelle and the cannibals soundtrack, really sketchy sleazy stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRBL3eUWb4E

Liking a Rick Wakeman is ok when there is a legend of terror involved. Look at the scissors!

Andy Votel's Hindi Horrorcore mix
http://soundcloud.com/manners-1/andy-votel-hindi-horrorcore

Y'all need to listen to that Rick Wakeman suite. It gets so good near the end.

OK that was pretty awesome and it only gets very Wakeman-y at the end and not in a bad way. Sounds like it was ripped from vinyl, was this music released commercially?

it's on spotify!!

sounds better on spotify too

WEAR ONE CAPE

just got caught in the crossfire of a teenage snowball fight while listening to the rosemary's baby soundtrack
dramatic!

So this is back in print?

http://www.lalalandrecords.com/FuryThe.html

Yeah and apparently with drastically improved sound q, say trustworthy folks.

LL what track specifically? We need to know.

>(Horror conventions are populated by some weird nice, friendly and partially drunkpeople, by the way)

THE COVEN!!

and also some of "Moment Musical" because it was a really drawn-out snowball fight. i followed it for 2 blocks and then had to walk through it saying excuse me please excuse me please excuse me please.

(on "Richard Band ripped Herrmanns' Psycho")
an older Mikael Carlsson fanboyish review of the "flawed but unique" Re-Animator filmscore by Richard Band....being "one of the coolest musical in-jokes ever presented in a film score", plus some funny trivia like how difficult it was to work with the Rome Philharmonic.

oddly enough, as i'm listening right now to the Pit & The Pendulum (1991) score by Band...i have to admit it sounds like some generic carmina burana rip-off.

Yeah, Band is not the man to go to for startling originality. He can be pretty fun sometimes though.

lol brad palsy

October ___ ?

weird, phil anselmo's apparently putting this thing together

Films confirmed to be shown throughout the three-day festival include, ‘The Evil Dead’ (plus horror/exploitation reel), ‘The Manson Family,’ ‘Maniac,’ ‘Zombie,’ ‘Cannibal Holocaust,’ ‘Scream Bloody Murder’ and many others. Former Mayhem vocalist Attila Csihar will also present fans with a truly unique experience, as the black metal veteran will perform a live soundtrack while the silent German expressionist classic ‘The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’ is screened for a wide-eyed audience.

For true cult horror fans, Anselmo has yet another masterful treat to offer at the Housecore festival, as ‘Coffin Joe’ director and actor José Mojica Marins will introduce his Brazilian classic films, engage in a Q&A with fans, sign autographs and curate a museum-style exhibit of original artwork and posters never seen outside of Brazil.

Philip H. Anselmo’s Housecore Horror Film Festival will be held at Emo’s in Austin, Texas, from Oct. 25-27. Want to learn even more about the event? Check out the fest’s official website!

yeah I know that kinda put me off but w/e

omg coffin joe!!

i'm never going to this event for a variety of reasons but it's ambitious, i'll say that

i know, crazy!

would love to go, tbh, but it seems unlikely i'd be able to pull it off (consults actuarial tables)

I think we are all doing the personal calculus on our odds of attending, if only briefly

Remastered, expanded DRESSED TO KILL soundtrack (Pino Donnagio).

http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/drtokiorsoby.html

On a similar note, Kritzerland just encored their Carrie remaster, lopping off the second disc, which was iirc just the crap Ryko disc minus the sound clips?

http://www.kritzerland.com/carrie.htm

20% off sale at LaLaLand ends this morning at 11:50 pst. Lots of great horror stuff, of course. I would put in a word for Shirley Walker's Willard.

i like what death waltz is doing but tbqf i hate the cover art.

i mean, i don't hate the art itself. i just don't think it works for the albums. i guess it's just not in my visual aesthetics wheelhouse.

Already on my calendar!

I am so there.

http://manoshandsoffate.bandcamp.com/album/manos-the-soundtrack-of-fate

Haven't downloaded it yet, but hopefully it includes the haunting strains of Torgo's Theme.

Not horror but since Barry de Vorzon is well known to devotees of the genre: la la land have just released an expanded remastered cd of his awesome score for The Warriors.

solaris from superior viaduct

http://www.superiorviaduct.com/collections/upcoming/products/eduard-artemiev-solaris-original-soundtrack-lp

two versions of that came out at the same time on the same label, which is a bit odd... also Stalker.

http://boomkat.com/search?fields[]=artist&q=Edward+Artemiev

grrr, url mangled by parser...

oh, that looks different again... and a different label.

Lol I just sent MP3s of both those to an ilxor for their bday a couple if weeks ago. Great stuff.

Great stuff!! Sounds like the quiet side of Agalloch in parts!! Also noting this as an example to tell my sts about gender neutrality/singulars & plurals and pronouns.

I did that on purpose to protect yr identity!

(That use of 'their' usually gets on my nerves)

I believe it's a thing that's changing about language. I'm alright with it. It's difficult to explain to sts though!!

I mean I prefer that use of 'their' to a cumbersome 'his or her' or a presumptive 'his'. Idk.

Agree! It's useful, which is why it should be widely acceptable.

Big horror sdtrk news round my way is the new kritzerland reissue of Jerry goldsmith's Poltergeist II The Other Side. This has been on cd two times before but the critical diff is that for this one they worked from the analog session tapes rather than the digital master prepared circa the film. And it makes a world of difference, to the extent that I now consider this an essential 80s goldsmith where before I didn't rate it much. The warmer, richer sound picture integrates the bizarre synth filigree with the orchestra more continuously; the synths sound more at home than on the brittle, glare-y previous editions. This is not on the level of the first film's score, duh, but I love it now. Unfort this edition of 1500 sold out in a couple of days but it's probably out there in DL land.

dbl cd of salem's lot

http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8285/.f

Kept meaning to post that itt. In stereo too, unlike a lot of television scores from its era!

prolly due to the planned european theatrical release

Yeah I should have said, remarkable that the stereo elements even survive when so much stuff from that era exists only as mono mixdowns...

holy shit! alan howarth performing tonight in brooklyn

https://www.facebook.com/events/594667857258551/

Fabio frizzi tonight in London too.

Frizzi show was at least partly awesome, if you ignored the ballads anyway.

death waltz putting out some carpenter stuff on cassette - bummed that the assault on precinct 13 is already sold out

http://experimedia.net/index.php?main_page=index&typefilter=record_company&record_company_id=1209

Just got the expanded 2cd of the fog this week as it happens. Disc 2 is amazing. Also Alan howarths rerecording of Assault On... which is gorgeous.

Good news, De Wolfe's CD of Paul Ferris' WITCHFINDER GENERAL score got listed again and this time it actually came out and people have it! Only on Amazon UK so far. Hurray!

oooOOOOooooo!

It's a really good listen in a Greensleeves + classic Hammer music mode. Not many scores I can think of that inhabit this specific crossroads.

Important update for LL and other eMusic members-- Witchfinder General is on there now for 6.99! (Though I hear the booklet notes are really great but still tbh I'm prob gonna go with the download).

Been HUNTING this, I even contacted Joel Martin via an acquaintance to see what was up.

Vinyl release confirmed? as it was going to be a limited release a few weeks after the CD

IDK about vinyl but people have definitely received their copies of the CD.

Fearless Vampire Killers aka Dance Of The Vampires vinyl / CD package is out now :

http://seriesaphonos.bigcartel.com/product/sa04-krzysztof-komeda-dance-of-the-vampires-aka-the-fearless-vampire-killers-pre-order

idk if a field in england counts as horror but the soundtrack is top notch and it's pretty/scary
who is jim williams?

also the cover is a+
http://www.6dft.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/afie.jpeg

I had the same reaction to that movie as I do with some horror movies, so

I need to see field in ennngggland

Is j williams the same guy who did the soundtracks to sightseers and kill list? Those were nice cues mixed in with selections from the kosmische songbook.

i have no idea -- i couldn't find anything else about him aside from this sdtk, which is REALLY GOOD -- it has a tiny bit of the western vibe like Richard Thompson's Grizzly Man sdtk + PV on Herzog (mostly the latter + a little Upstream Color so basically it sounds like a top notch Herzog movie)

also the emusic version doesn't have a 48 min track that's available on amazon, so i have no idea what's up with that
but mostly it was a great movie and the music was increíble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6AL4BO_0tw

Sightseers used actual vuh and Harmonia tracks along with original cues, I think director Ben whatshisname is a krauty England's-Hidden-Reverse-y fellow

Frizzi back at the Barbican for Halloween:

http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=16612

I'll definitely be going, having missed him last year.

I was going to bump this thread the other day to state for the record what an unmitigated masterpiece Henry Mancini's score for Lifeforce is.

The OST to "The Haunting Of Julia" is dusty, synthy awesomeness

i really feel like there should be a search and destroy devoted to death waltz/mondo and other similar horror soundtrack reissuers. there are so many of them and they sound so good thanks to the hyperbolic dusty groove style blurbs that inevitably are on the packaging. like i know a goblin soundtrack is a good bet, or the steve moore soundtrack to the guest, or john carpenter and tangerine dream.

anyway it could probably live here too and i'm sure a close reading of this thread would provide the answers i am hoping for.

My top Death Waltz releases, strictly based on the awesomeness of the music (roughly in order):

Halloween III
City of the Living Dead
A Field in England
Room 237
Maniac
Moon

Loving this mix by Terence Hannum of Locrian fame. 2014 one also has some nice underheard stuff (2013 his inaugural mix is mostly justifiably famous stuff).

http://www.citypaper.com/blogs/noise/bcpnews-check-out-some-spooky-sounds-from-terence-hannums-horror-movie-music-podcast-dead-air-20151007-htmlstory.html

Tangerine Dream's score for THE KEEP is a masterpiece. I love the cut " Stealing the Silver Cross". Excellent work on NEAR DARK, too

lolling: https://vine.co/v/edeuY27tLlH

There is also waxworks vinyl issue of Brian Gascoigne's score to Phase IV. Its first issue in any form (but la la land will put out a cd version soon). BBC Radiophonic style electroacoustic menace by the future arranger of Scott Walker's Tilt.

Just my annual reminder to everyone that Christopher Young's score to A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 remains the best horror soundtrack of the past 30 years IMO

There is a new box set of all the NOES scores but since there is nothing else remotely in Young's league in there, one is probably still best served by the long standing release that combines 1 and 2 on a CD.

Creature Features & Intrada pay tribute to Walt Disney's 1983 adaptation of Ray Bradbury's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!

We're proud to host an unprecedented symposium celebrating Intrada's brand new CD release of composer Georges Delerue's chilling rejected score. This legendary original music was unheard outside of one fateful test screening, replaced with a new score by the late James Horner.

Join film music journalist Tim Greiving of NPR and The Los Angeles Times as we revisit the film's complicated production with rare footage and behind-the-scenes photos -- plus a panel discussion with Colette Delerue, editor Axel Hubert, film music agent Richard Kraft, soundtrack producer Douglass Fake, and other guests to be added.

Admission is FREE with purchase of the new CD. Seating is limited and available on a first come, first served basis.

Never seen the film and never knew about there being different soundtracks

I wish to GAWD I could go to that event. The unused Delerue score is one of the finest film scores I've ever heard (even in, until now, bootleg quality) and to hear it mastered from first generation elements is going to be amazing. Intrada's CD comes out on Tuesday the 8th.

Delerue's score stands apart from his body of work, much darker and stranger than anything else by him.

The film is sorta misbegotten, sure, but still well worth seeing, with doses of real magic. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it RAG.

Anyway, if ppl want a sublime and hella atmospheric horror scoring masterpiece order this from Intrada on Tuesday.

I hope they record the symposium thingy for youtube...

Can't see any shop listings of the new CD issue or on the Intrada site.

They don't put things up until official release day I think

http://www.avclub.com/article/take-exclusive-look-scored-death-new-book-intervie-239745

Hmm. Tentatively interested. Would be more psyched if the guy seemed less focused on the usual goblin carpenter frizzi area, I mean there has been so much incredible horro work done by composers who aren't necessarily 'horror film composers'

Saw F2F (Frizzi to Fulci? Fulci to Frizzi? I can't remember) -- basically Fabio Frizzi + a 6-person band -- playing the score to The Beyond with the movie at a huge old theater packed to the gills with horror soundtrack fanatics. There was a lot of clapping, yelling, horns-throwing and they played three encores iirc, including selections from City of the Living Dead and Zombi. It was awesome! So glad I went. My only complaint was that the drums were a little bit too quiet for my liking but that could be because I am deaf or I'm just accustomed to much louder music.

The crowd was very patient and polite while Frizzi played a new (I think he said it was new?) somewhat limp cpuntry rock song too. That's one of the best things about horror soundtracks, like Carrie -- there are cheesy song-type songs mixed in with the horror-y tracks. Gives the best tracks that extra punch!

See also the Halloween song interrupting the magnificence of the Halloween III soundtrack

oops above that was supposed to say country, not cpuntry, lol

that sounds like an awesome gig!

i am also a fan of the totally conventional FM country tune interrupting a hair-raising horror OST, said tune generally coming from the jukebox in the roadside greasy spoon as the local sheriff hears something faintly disturbing from a local and just before we cut to a POV from the bushes

Just came across this top 100 list. As much as I can't endorse any ranking that doesn't put Goldsmith's Poltergeist score in the top 5 or 10, much less barely squeaking into the top 100, this is a compelling ranking.

http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/28/the-100-greatest-horror-soundtracks/

(Oh, also, Waxwork just did a third pressing of the Creepshow vinyl.)

yeah that list is kind of sheltered and way too coolness-oriented. i'm sorry but some of the greatest horror soundtracks of all time are from films that are legit embarrassing. everything on that list is either arty-hip or mondo-hip.

Seems like they admit some of the films are awful?

Glad to see that Libra's Shock really does have an audience. I've seen it on a few lists now and it's well deserved.

The biggest gaps to me is the lack of Hammer/Amicus/Tigon and no silent films. It's understandable people haven't got a hold of many Japanese soundtracks but when I was binging Samurai horror there was a lot of interesting stuff.

One net gain, I hadn't realized just how good The Entity score was until just now.

So hey, does anyone want a Bandcamp code for Jonathan Snipes' soundtrack for Starry Eyes? Guy who did Room 237, if you enjoyed that; I picked up a copy of the Starry Eyes score and got two Bandcamp cards by mistake. I can't guarantee the second one works, but if anyone wants it just email me

worth mentioning how incredible the MANDY soundtrack is
so loud, so good

in my top 20 this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilaRNAPSUKc

also prob one of the most dynamic records i own, parts of it scare the shit out of me even at low volume

Johannsson was extremely good at spooky tunes, i think the foreboding music throughout Sicario for example basically made that film twice as good as it was. It works as a horror score.

Can't wait to listen, Arrival was my favorite score of its year

oh man this is great

what a frickin' loss

Hints teased on the Intrada Records forum are making it look as if Jerry Goldsmith’s score for The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975) is gonna get released for the first time ever next week. If so, a massive massive occasion - even on the shitty bootlegs that have been around it’s clearly a total high water mark - gorgeous swooning romantic writing melted together with aggressive modular synth utterances. Super excited!!!

September's nearly here, which means I'm close to putting all my soundtrack discs in the car again.

This'll be a new one this year:

http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.11965/.f?sc=13&category=22848

Ha I was going to say GHOST STORY was the release of the season. Sarde’s masterpiece imo and one of the best shivery/exquisite horror scores of all time

That one too!

Tempting…

picked this one up a few years ago.
listening to it is an intense experience.
probably more so than watching the actual film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ncfYt5F2dM

I just saw Carrie at the cinema and the main theme music is so beautiful, hadn't noticed when I saw it years ago.

Ganja and Hess has a great soundtrack, written and performed by NINA SIMONE(s brother)
