Thor 7,453 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm not sure I understand what that means. The creepiest score I own is arguably Elliot Goldenthal's PET SEMATARY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Seriously though, while there are some scores which can be scary or terrifying, I can't think of any that feel inherently "evil" to me. Maybe some of Goldsmith's work for The Omen films. The use of requiems in films like The Shining and Amadeus, on the other hand, feel evil to me, but of course that's a different cauldron of fish heads.

Thor 7,453 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 24 minutes ago, May the Force be with You said: Thor and Bruce are going to hunt you down... Not really. I would label JOKER more 'tormented' in style and tone than evil, reflecting the character. Of course, I do realize by now this thread wasn't about "evil" styles and tones, but rather created to 'bait' people into naming scores they hate. I'm not playing that game.

GerateWohl 4,321 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The best way to make a score or piece creepy is the use of creepy voices or other human noises. Temple of Doom is a perfect example.

Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Another one...the Angel Heart soundtrack, both the score and source music, in the context of the film and then listened to on its own, is evil as f*ck.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,429 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I think those are also obvious but the whole Omen trilogy by Goldsmith is clearly an ode to evil. Nick1Ø66 and Ricard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 Even though John Williams has scored plenty of tense or dark moments, I don't consider the vast majority of his music in those instances "evil". He has such a sense of underlying humanity that his music for these moments, consciously or not, capture a pervasive sense of compassion--something he actually explicitly comments on in the ROTS doc. There's a huge difference in my mind between scoring evil and writing an evil score. I'm trying to think of a score that sounds truly, irretrievably brutal, sadistic, and unfeeling.

Edmilson 7,369 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The Sanskrit choir for ToD is terrifying. Palpatine's theme is very menacing. And the music for the Dementors in PoA is dark and creepy. Williams can go (very) dark when he wants to. Raiders of the SoundtrArk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,453 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 And not only 'fantasy' dark. Some the darkest music he's ever written is for one of the darkest scenes he's ever scored - the molestation scene in SLEEPERS, building with the drumkit as the camera pans through the corridor, into the light and the time jump to the 80s.

John Williams simply doesn't have the capability to create something "evil". Scary? Tense? Dark? Menacing? Absolutely. But Williams has been touched by God, and he couldn't compose something truly evil even if he wanted to.

Jurassic Shark 12,008 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 I guess the most evil music contains a lot of tritones (Diablo in musica), so we're especially looking for music written in whole tone scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe music can have a spirit to it that we don't understand. There's a reason it can touch in a way language can't, and why its so universal. But to elaborate further would require a metaphysical discussion, and this thread is hardly the place for it. If it's metaphysics you're after, Dr. Tyree's philosophy class is right down the hall.
