Best Horror Soundtrack
 

I truly beleive that music can completely change how scary a movie is. My personal favourite scores are...
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Ringu
Halloween
The Thing
The Descent
The Hole
The Omen
The Shining
Carrie
Dawn Of The Dead (original)
My Little Eye
The videogame Manhunt

I'm a massive fan of John Carpenter's scores, the whole ambient electronica feel. I like very sharp sounding orchestral scores, the most famous example of this being Psycho.

What do you think, guys?

A couple of my favorites are Phantasm and Dawn of the Dead.

The only problem with Dawn of the Dead is, the Goblin music is good...but because it's mixed up with a lot of library tracks, you can't say the film is "scored" in the normal sense of the term.

Phantasm, on the other hand, is truly a scored film, and musically stronger, I think, because of this.

I still haven't seen Phantasm. Is it worth buying?

Many people feel it is an absolute classic. It's one of my real favorites...watched it a million times over the last twenty some years or so.

The sequels are fun, and okay. But the first movie was a real eye-opener, a keeper.

WHAT?!...And you call yourself a HORROR FAN?!

Buy it...Buy THEM...Buy them ALL...And do it NOW!


:D



I have all of them, so I'm allowed to say that :p



Actually...When I got divorced...The Phantasm movies were the ONLY thing that my ex argued with me about...He tried to say they were HIS...You heard me say that I have them, right?...hahaha

Yeah, one other thing I will say about Phantasm--besides that the music score is so listenable, so haunting--is that it's the weirdest thing in the world, but the characters are very likeable and seem like real people. The sequels are cool because I liked seeing the characters come back and do their thing.

Back in 1979 when the film came out, it was THE R-rated movie to see that summer, and if you could handle it, you were made of tough stuff--you were a badass.

We've seen so many advances in special effects over the years and so, to modern viewers, it may be difficult to understand how jaw-droppingly shocking the "famous scene" in Phantasm was. Audiences had never seen anything like it before, and people walked out of the theatre really badly freaked out! I mean, this movie really scared the crap out of you!

No surprise that the tagline was, "If this one doesn't scare you, you're ALREADY DEAD!"

HaHa, thanks, I'll have to see the first one =)

What's THE FAMOUS SCENE then?

Wouldn't you rather just watch the film and see it?

That's what I was gonna say...You don't really wanna ruin it, do you?


*Still amazed that someone hasn't seen Phantasm*
