Disco Stu 15468 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Sleepy Hollow I put on for sure this time of year, but in general I don't listen to many actual horror scores specifically as a connection to Halloween. Most horror scores don't actually have the right vibe, which like I said above is more like silly-spooky than unsettling-horrifying. Beetlejuice, Gremlins 2, Mars Attacks, etc. and select tracks from video games. I do listen to the soundtracks for the first two Halloween films (the Carpenter scores) though. And also more generally autumnal stuff like the Fantastic Mr. Fox OST. This from Kaufman's Ducktales is by my estimation exactly the perfect vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 860 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’ve made a more conscious effort this October to pull out some murder and monster mayhem. I’ve been listening to a different score each day(s) on my commute. So far this month: Grizzly Prophecy The Omen Damien: Omen 2 - both film score and album The Final Conflict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 2204 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Oh wow, great topic. I could go on and on. I enjoy the genre and love the holiday. My favorite horror film is Creepshow. Also enjoy Carpenter, Hammer, Universal, 80s horror, Italian horror, some slashers, and even some of the modern cheap thrill jump scare flicks. Some of my favorite horror scores that are not from Williams, Goldsmith, or Horner Creepshow The Fog Halloween Salem’s Lot Amityville Horror Bram Stoker’s Dracula Sleepy Hollow Any James Bernard Hammer Friday the 13th Bride of Frankenstein Carrie Suspiria Dawn of the Dead I’d say the Omen is probably the greatest original horror score of all time.

Bespin 6820 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 For those who wants to prepare themselves for the FINAL chapter of Halloween (HAHAHA) that is coming in few days.... HALLOWEND ENDS (well if they say it!)... The minimum movies you have to see are these ones, they all contain genuine screams by Jamie Lee Curtis, so if you want to test your speakers, have fun! Halloween (1978, the original movie, with Jamie Lee Curtis, her first movie ever, I think) 1st part of the New trilogy with Jamie Lee Curtis - Halloween 2018 (a "rebooted" direct sequel to the first 1978 movie) 2nd part of the New trilogy with Jamie Lee Curtis - Halloween Kills (2021) (A very direct sequel to the 2018 movie, that will make you love it more) 3rd and final part of the New trilogy with Jamie Lee Curtis - Hallowen Ends (2022, to be released in few days) But if you're like an archeologist, a sort of Indy of the B movies genre... This year I tried this chronology (which represent a total nonsense on paper, but which works very well in the reality) and I recommend it. The basic Idea is to watch bad sequels in the inverse order... because it will prevent you of saying: OH WOW THIS MOVIE IS REALLY A BAD SEQUEL TO THE PREVIOUS MOVIE I JUST SAW! Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (these three movies are a consistent "trilogy" (without Jame Lee Curtis). But as the 6th movie is not the "apotheosis" it should have been... try this order... and mark my words it will not affect your comprehension of the "plot"... The plot? hehehe) Halloween Resurrection (2002) (or "Michael Myers meet the TV Reality Shows Generation!) Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) (A true sequel to Halloween 1978 and Halloween II 1981. These three movies are often called by the fans the "Laurie Strode Trilogy". Again, Resurrection was made AFTER H20... but then you'll be deceived a bit by the lack of "continuity"... watching them backward is funnier) Halloween 1978 (the cherry on the cake!) ok... Then you can go with the first list... AND REPEAT EACH YEAR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspiria is one of the most colorfully lensed film ever made. It is an assault on the eyes and the ears. Be warned, the soundtrack is relentlessly loud. But it’s part of the experience. If you enjoy that, Inferno is the sequel. Not as bold, but wonderfully unconventional. I might also recommend Deep Red, a stylish Giallo. It’s dated and ridiculous, but again, Argento has a way. He is sort of a blend of Hitchcock and Mario Bava. You must see Suspiria though. It’s probably the most strikingly beautiful horror film ever made. Inferno is the sequel, and it’s no slouch either. 12 hours ago, Bespin said: For those who wants to prepare themselves for the FINAL chapter of Halloween (HAHAHA) that is coming in few days....

Unlike the Friday the 13th series, which are just consistently entertaining dumb fun from first to last , the Halloween sequels are an exponential drop in quality. The original and II are sort of like Jaws and Jaws 2. Season of the Witch (III) was the right move to pivot away from Michael. Carpenter’s plan was to make each Halloween sequel a new story taking place on Halloween. We could’ve had, what, a dozen or so weird tales of Halloween by now, if the audiences hadn’t rejected the idea and demanded Michael come back. I would gladly trade those almost unwatchable sequels for more one-off stories with Carpenter’s involvement. They really are terrible. filmmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
