Horror Movie With Best Music
 

Ive seen alot of the same threads lately about whose the best villian, who'd beat who, etc. etc.

Well, which horror movie has the best music? Im sure therell be some great ones i forget so just list them.

It was a tough call for me because i really like the nightmare music but i really love Philip Glasses Candyman theme.

I can't choose between...

- The Exorcist
- Friday The 13th
- Halloween

i chose the halloween theme its freaky and when u hear it u know exactly what it iz

I like the Halloween theme, but some other good ones are
Christine, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, The Shining, Misery, the Subspecies movies

as much as I love the halloween theme, Im going for friday the 13th, cause nothing beats the tune that obviously says "kill mom" in echos
I love it

interview with a vanpire, please to meet you hope you guess my name!!!

Dammit! You've torn me. It's between Phantasm and Halloween for sure.

Halloween

I would have to say the Friday series but my favorites that are not on the list are Killer Klowns from Outer Space and The Puppet Master series.

Oh man i love Danny Elfmans music (beetlejuice, batman, Tim Burton films) i think hes one of the greatest composers.

Don't forget the March of the Dead and Darkman.:)

I had to go with the nightmare series. both halloween and friday the 13 came close though.

While i love me some creepy music i think that Nightmare series gets it. My fav. horror series is Friday the 13th but that fucking freddy music is just the shit. but i also like the halloween theme.

Holy shit!!! I cant choose one...

halloween, easy

how can friday the 13th be the best. all it is is che che cha cha, i mean wtf.

Danny Elfmans music rocks..the Puppet Master has awesome music.

Have to agree its really only a sound effect. Pretty tame.:rolleyes:
but then again so is TCM "music".

I didnt know he did that! I love the Red Dragon music he did, most of his stuff is dark with a kinda quirky comedy thrown in, but the Red Dragon Score is truly amazing. Should have put that on here. Hes got a good singing voice too (Nightmare Before Xmas-Jack & Barrel)

The PuppetMaster music should sound good. As a matter of fact any music Richard Band composes should sound good b/c he tends to borrow bits from Bernard Herrman.:D It's all good though.

Arioch..you know that was two seperate thoughts I posted before right?...well yea Avenger music is always better when you borrow from Herrman:D

Indeed.

IM................................a moron

your not a moron Im just one of those people that never seperate my thoughts...they are all together and come out that way...so my fault just wanted to make sure you didnt think I was an idiot and thought The Puppet Master Music was from Danny Elfmans music. Somethings I do have a little knowledge on and some music and horror flick and definately serial killers are a couple things I have indepth crap..mostly trivia :D

Mine aren't on the list: Suspiria (Gremlins rock!) Wild Zero because of my Japanese rock heros, Guitar Wolf, and Return of the Living Dead had the Cramps and some other cool rock on it. Though Danny Elfman is awesome and Halloween's soundtrack was pretty groundbreaking.
I think for horror soundtracks Halloween's and Suspiria's are the most outstanding. Suspiria is the only horror movie I've seen where afterwards I was wondering, who did that great music?!

Suspiria 1977......"Marcos" adapted from "Music in Similiar Motion" by Philip Glass..Arranged by Claudio Simonetti,Massimo Morante, Fabio Pignatti and Agostino Marangolo..Performed by GOBLIN....KICK ASS MUSIC

I gotta check this out, i really like some of philips stuff. Did you ever here the stuff he did with Aphex Twin??:eek: :eek:

Oops i meant Goblins rock (not gremlins)! What else has have they done? (Also, is it Goblin or Goblins?)

Once upon a time they were credited as The Goblins, but it's just Goblin now.

it's actually a verry distorted and altered voice that says kill (kill) mom (mom)
wich is from the first, to say, kill mom , kill for me
I think it's really cool

i choose nightmare

yea i knew that. but since its a voice then wouldn't it be more of a sound effect than music???

No I havent heard anything Philips did with Aphex Twin... I like AFX ..fuckin rocks...I have Drukqs and Ventolin-The Remixes..I think they put out a new Album in March something like 20(something) mixes for cash...I think thats the title. Not sure ,What kinda stuff did AFX do with Philips?

No i havent heard it but we talked about it in my Music Synthesis class. My professor said the guy from Aphex (forgot his name) mailed Philip a letter saying "I Want To Work With You" scribbled out in crayon. So philip thought it might be interesting. lol havent heard it tho.

Richard D. James is his name...I was thinking it would be awesome as hell if Elfman, Herrman, Reznor ,and Richard James were to do something together....That would be very interesting.

they use it allot as a tune more, not like 5 minutes but allo to fill in the silent parts

Looks like we have the same taste in music too soul. You just named my top 2 favorite musicians, along with Herrman and James who rock in their own right as well.

To fuckin cool..not alot of people around here like my music..They listen to country...nothing against it..they work just as hard as any artist..But I could never get into it. I have nothing but admiration for music artist/musicians..just sometimes I cant chill with their sound. YOu know what I mean? I definately like my music loud ...so I have a lot of people "gracing" me with their opinion of my music. hehehehe ....fuck'em all.. :D

Halloween by far, that is the only song that actually makes me scared hehe. I hear that song and I look directly behind me to check if Michael Myers popped out of my bathroom or something lol.

im not saying it was the best, but i have to give props to Resident Evil. The sound design was great. That and any movie that manages to fit in NINS Wish has got my respect. Props to Marilym Manson on the sound design.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS WITH THIS HALLOWEEN.

JOHN CARPENTER WOULD BE PISSED OFF IF HE SAW THIS.

that song from Return of the living dead
 

was so kick ass i had to order the whole damn CD. It goes something like WE are gonna party DIN DIN DIN DIN! LMAO! Love that shit. ALso theme from Nightmare 3 Dream Warriors is phenomenol but Dokken refuses to play that song live anymore cause they sold out. The theme from Friday the 13th Part 6 that Alice Cooper does is still in my car and my girlfriend loves it. Even the 3 year old kid bebops to it. Texas Chainsaw next generation had some cool metal in it when Matty McCanahay was driving aroudn in his truck in the middle of the flick. Trick or Treat had some delicious tunes. THe list goes on and on!
