Here's what I brought to work with me... along with my track selection.

- SAINT SINNER (Christopher Lennertz) All of it...

- THE FURY (John Williams) Main Title

- POLTERGEIST (Jerry Goldsmith) Twisted Abduction

- SIGNS (James Newton Howard) Main Title

- THE FINAL CONFLICT (Jerry Goldsmith) The Final Conflict... especially for the eerie whispers at the end of the track

- MARY SHELLY'S FRANKENSTEIN (Patrick Doyle) The Creation

- ALIENS ( James Horner) All of it will scare the piss out of any kid at night

- SLEEPY HOLLOW (Danny Elfman) Main Title

Others that I didn't bring with me but are just as good...

- WHAT LIES BENEATH (Alan Silvestri) End Credits... actually, all of it!!!

- INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (John Williams) The Temple of Doom

- YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (Bruce Broughton) Waxing Elizabeth

- HELLRAISER II: HELLBOUND (Christopher Young) Hellbound/Second Sight Seance

- THE EXORCIST (Mike Oldfield) Tubular Bells

- ALTERED STATES (John Corigliano) - All of it... damn creepy!

That's all that I can think of...

Nightmare Before Christmans, Sleepy Hollow, Batman Returns.

Also the Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula by Woijciech Kilar and by Williams.

And Cape Fear from Benny, of course.

- THE EXORCIST (Mike Oldfield) Tubular Bells

Yes,but not tubular bells,more that bizzare string piece that opens the End Credits.Dunno who composed that,but it's a concert piece not meant for film.

What about Minority Report? :?

:? yes,that's pretty much my POV also.

Anyways,MR' score is so bad outside of the film it's scary in some way.

John Carpenter's Halloween is an obvious but excellent choice.  

:

If you consider that music...

Oh,and thank you Jim Ware...I think that piece IS downright creepy and was not used by "accident" for that film.

The Penderecki used in the film is also rather creepy (as is just about everything written by Penderecki).

I just listened to SIGNS in the dark, the whole score. Probably one of the few cds i have that i have no complaints about. Has ever cue i wanted from the movie and is well represented on the cd.

Well, the obvious choice of poltergeist has already by mentioned....so....

Without a doubt, some of the Horror cues from Horner's Brainstorm

Particulary the scene of First playback or Lillians Death (now that would scare any kid if you chase them in a mask). When i listen to it on good headphones its the freakiest demonic soundtrack i've heard in some places. Second would perhaps be that freaky overly long "wooooooooo" choral thing from 2001 where they first discover the monolith or when Dave Bowman enters it near the end. Then perhaps Carpenters "The Fog" (i mean the piece of music at the start where the scary story is being told to the kids by that gnarled sailor on the beach at night). Wonderful creepy music. That wonderful frantic organ/choral "Fallen Temple" music from Damien Omen 2 by Goldsmith must rate very high indeed as kid chasing music in a scary mask with saliva drolling from your mouth. Then perhaps "E.T and me" (just joking). Why not "Imagine" by John Lennon?. or perhaps "Close to you" by the Carpenters?. or then for afters how about Harry Nilsson's "Without you" or "I guess the lord must be in new york city"?. The best would be the theme from the Simpsons. As you can see, i ran out of suggestions and started acting like a crazy person. Oh, why not Duel of the fates by our very own?.

Dont mind me. I'm just Melange.
