  2. 2. Which score do you prefer?

    • Psycho (composed by Bernard Herrmann)

Herrmann’s Psycho is a fine score, but other than the shower scene stuff, none of it particularly stands out to me, whereas The Shining is full of evocative highlights (main titles, Rocky Mountains, the classical pieces, etc).

The main titles are great, but a lot of the other string writing doesn’t really catch my interest.
