And personally I find it more akin to Jane Eyre, bookending the 70s on the other end with dark romanticism... They even have two similar (and similarly titled) scherzos...

Each cue is now in their own track, with the Bat Attack cue now called The Attack to avoid confusion with the album track. Do you know/are you allowed to share anything on why For Mina is still For Mina in the main presentation then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,378 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I also agree that Dracula is a better score than The Fury (mostly because nothing in The Fury reaches the level of Night Journeys)... but both are really good scores for sure. And I also agree that the OST presentation of Dracula is quite repetitive, while the complete score is more varied. Now, it is still a score with only one main theme, but with all the cues there is much more varied and interesting music in between each presentation of the main theme. "Grave Trampling and The Asylum" is easily my favorite new track. Yavar Moradi and Mattris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 37,378 Posted October 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2018 For some reason, I forgot for a long time that Dracula is one of the Williams/LSO collaborations.
