We must have a generation gap. While I appreciate Phantasm's score, what about films like Alien, Psycho, and Horror of Dracula? These are beautiful and frightening at the same time.
To me, the Goblin score of Suspiria took me out of the film. Too loud, too weird, too distracting. I guess that's part of the reason I'm one of only six people in the world who think Suspiria was not good at all. Also, how about Annie Lennox's Theme for a Vampire from the (also not good) FFC's Dracula? I watch it on YouTube once or twice a week, and it still gives me chills - not to mention making me tear up a bit (I'm a guy, BTW).
I just found your site and i have to say, you fucking rock! i actually went out and bought the soundtrack to 28 days later after i watched a bootlegged copy right before it came out (i then watched it in theatres, so good) also, points for including the philip glass composed candyman soundtrack
I am the proud owner of the limited edition two disc set of Suspiria that includes the soundtrack. It is a requirement to play it in October. Goblin is one of my favorite bands and I have a tendency to put Suspiria, Tenebre and Deep Red on repeat.
Christopher Young is an amazing composer. Hellraiser still remains my favorite CY piece.
Another favorite composer of mine is John Harrison. Creepshow remains a personal favorite. I get chills every time I listen to it.
Excellent choices BJ! I have a huge fondness for horror movie soundtracks. Ever since sound was first introduced to the movies music has been a vital part of the storytelling almost equal in importance to the images on the screen. This is especially important in a horror film.
Great picks. The Candyman score is one of my favorites, even if Philip Glass claimed he was hoodwinked into composing for a horror film.
I love the "28 Days Later" sndtrk. I listen to it all the time. Btw, I love your blog!!!!
"AND YOU WILL FACE THE SEA OF DARKNESS AND ALL THERE-IN THAT MAY BE EXPLORED" (as we all must at some point obviously). Thank-you Lucio, you were a fucking genius.
