I'd have to go with John Carpenter, loved Halloween and The Thing and most of his stuff was cool.

My favorites:
1.)Baby Firefly's rendition of I Want to be Loved by You in House of a Thousand Corpses
2.) Argento using Verdi and metal in the same movie to startling effect in Opera
3.) Though only on the verge of being a horror movie, Dean Stockwell in Blue Velvet singing in Dreams
4.) the single ominous moment in Scream: Nick Cave's Red Right Hand. The guy's a god.

1. Suspiria
2. Halloween
3. The Omen
4. The Shining (Kubrick)
5. The Wicker Man
6. The Thing (Carpenter)
7. Deep Red
8. Zombi 2
9. Friday The 13th
10. Seven

Let me think...

Halloween's music is really sound.

My favourite music (not horror, but gothic) Batman 1's.

Others are: Omen, Return Of The Living Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman, Children of the Corn, American Psycho, The Diary of Allen Rimbauer, Lost Boys etc...

Halloween, Suspiria, The Shining, Psycho, Exorcist, as alot of you have mentioned, are amazing.

The original NotLD had great score, aswell. The orinal Amityville however, is by far the creepiest score I have ever heared. I love it.


Dracula [1931], the original version at least, has great music. Damn near nothing, only a tiny bit over the credits. This added so much to the eeriness of the film, and Im not looking forward to seeing the recently scored version.
