hmmm i thought goblin did more then that..well either way most of his movies i have seen had good music

[lazario]

Well, Claudio Simonetti was/is in Goblin. So, it was practically the same.

[tsmooth31]

^^ yea that makes sense then..cuz i remmember hearing goblin or at least a memeber of it did most of his music..plus it always sounds kind of similar to me

my favourite is day of the dead

Halloween and the Excorcist have the best scores in horror history.

[biscuitpower]

Everyone likes halloween though! EVERYONE

There's this kid in my town named refry because he always picks up cigarette butts of the ground and smokes them. He's like mental or something cuz he always carrys around a ghetto blaster like a big gangsta from the 80's. Every halloween or foggy night he walks around playing the halloween theme song hahhahahaha

Good point on The Exorcist. Not only do I think "Tubular Bells" (Exorcist) is a really distracting piece of music, but I think that score was way ahead of its' time. It remains very experimental, sweeping, and endlessly impressive.

Halloween is a no-brainer. Carpenter is a true master of horror and fantasy film music. But my favorite of his film scores would be Starman. With The Fog right behind it. But since Starman wasn't a horror film...
