John McClane 1 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hi!I recently trade with a friend of mine the complete promo scores of the Scream trilogy by Marco Beltrami and I love them.I now want to expand my horror films scores collection, so I need some title. My friend, who travels in the U.S.A. one time every two months for work, will buy them for me!Right now, I have these titles:- Scream (Marco Beltrami)- Scream 2 (Marco Beltrami)- Scream 3 (Marco Beltrami)- Final Destination (Shirley Walker)- Final Destination 2 (Shirley Walker)- Ghost Ship (John Frizzell - Varèse Sarabande)- Friday 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (Harry Manfredini)Next time he will search for all the "Nightmare on Elm Street" scores and all the "Friday 13th" scores, but I need some more title.ThanksT-Mirko-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Marco Beltrami's scores to I Robot & Hellboy are also very good Horror scores mmmm, Bernard Herrmann's are the scariest from a musical perspective - not just the "He's behind you!" orchestral burst style.-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Yeah, I already have the I Robot and Hellboy scores, and they're great, but I'm looking for something more...scary. I think Scream and Final Destination are perfect example of what I mean.Regarding Herrmann, I have a 2CDs-set compilation called "Psycho-The Essential Alfred Hitchcock", which have a lot of Herrmann's music. There's a cue from JW's Family Plot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks Halloran for the names!Another name that comes into my mind is "Cabin Fever" by Angelo Badalamenti and another composer that I can't remember.BTW, Halloran, maybe this is only a coincidence, but I found a lot of horror scores on eMule "by Halloran", then I see the same name here, and I had the idea to start this thread!

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 since no one has mentioned it, you should try Pino Donaggio. His scores to Carrie, Dressed to Kill, and Tourist Trap all fit the bill as great horror scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyecks 33 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Amityville Horror, TheAlways scares the crap out of me...... something about children singing "la la..."And I also vote for "Alien". It is one of the scariest (very creepy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 They've been mentioned already, but all of Goldsmith's scores for the Omen trilogy (especially Final Conflict), Alien and Chris Young's Hellraiser 1 & 2 are all great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Coscina 3 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 For really scary-ass music try Ligeti's REQUIEM. That's terrifying. The Exorcist (including Lalo Schifrin's rejected cues)The Shining (featuring "Rocky Mountains" by Wendy Carlos)Alien3- GoldenthalInterview with the Vampire- GoldenthalPranks- a very very early Chris Young effortThe Thing- classic Morricone scoreThe Changling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I can't believe no one's mentioned The Fury yet. That is considered a horror score, right?Right? :? John- unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornPlayer7 0 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I recomend all of the scores from the "Alien" series.Alien - Jerry GoldsmithAliens (get the Deluxe Edition) - James HornerAlien 3 - Elliot GoldenthalAlien Resurrection - John FrizzellAll have some great stuff. Alien 3 has some really freaky stuff with the brass and if you listen with headphones it's even creepier! Resurrection's themes are just so cold and unnerving, and many have already reccomended Mr. Goldsmith's fabulous score to the frist Alien film.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Also, I should mention Poltergeist and Poltergeist II: The Other Side by Jerry Goldsmith.Jerry apparently also did a score for Poltergeist III but they didn't use it in the final cut because they couldn't afford to pay him. Cheap movie anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYPHER 1 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hmmm, horror movies. A favourite topic of mine! I would recommend the following scores (most on the basis of having heard them in the film, rather than owning the score CD):- Halloween - John Carpenter- Cabin Fever - Angelo Badalamenti and Whatshisface (Nick Barr?)- Hellbound: Hellraiser II - Christopher Young- Jaws - John Williams- The Lost World: Jurassic Park - not strictly a horror movie of course but a few of these cues scare the crap out of me! - Signs - James Newton Howard- Psycho - Bernard Herrmann- Suspiria - GoblynCYPHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 - Suspiria - GoblynGoblin It's an Italian band...check out Profondo Rosso, it's their greatest success.

It's a Dario Argento film like Suspiria and many other.Is that Deep Red, Tommy? I've seen that but wasn't very impressed. I've also watched a couple of other Argento movies though, and I like his first couple of slasher flicks. Silly me recommending an Italian filmscore to an Italian!

John McClane 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 No, you're not silly! And yes, "Profondo Rosso" is "Deep Red"...the film isn't that great, but the main theme is a lot famous. The beginning is similar to "The Exorcist" main theme, with the scary music-box music.

Melange 446 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Horror Film ScoresMost have been mentioned. But i also love Carpenter's "The Fog". And the later stages of Apocalypse Now could be called 'Horror' i guess (afterall, those were the last words of Kurtz). Carmine Coppola's score in those final scenes, is very surreal. When Willard walks down the steps etc, and the whole acid trip thing at Do lung Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I'm glad someone mentioned Goblin, although I'm a little sad someone beat me to it. Suspiria is a great example of how a simple ostinato can often form the basis of an incredible score. I have an excellent CD compilation of original Goblin scores. It's called Italian Horror Showcase (KICP 648 on the Seven Seas label). It has original tracks from the scores of Suspiria, Zombi, Phenomena, Tenebre etc. Well worth checking out if you're into this highly original and experimental group of musicians.

jgraves 0 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I've got Young's Hellraiser as well as The Fly II, both great horrow scores. Plus Unforgettable and Species - more thrillers than horror, but still really good.Have you heard Beltrami's Dracula 2000? I've got the 2 disk complete set. Scary stuff.Some other great horror scores I've got:Blade 2The Relic - Debney promoComa - GoldsmithOmen 1-3Poltergiest 1-2Brainstorm - HornerThe Cell - ShoreTerminator 3 - Complete 2 disk by BeltramiI'm really interested in getting the complete scores to the Scream series.

John McClane 1 Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 Yes Jason, I have Beltrami's Dracula too, along with a lot of other Beltrami scores. But I have only the OST, we could trade the Expanded bootleg! I should edit my first post in this thread, thought. I'm just lazy...but in this last two months my horror scores collection has grow a lot!For bootlegs trades, I prefer eMule...it's just faster then the regular mail system. You know I'm so damn lazy! :spiny:Thanks everybody for the suggestion! More to come, I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgraves 0 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 So is eMule a PC thing? I'm on a Mac, PLUS the anal-retentive side of me wins out over the impatient side and really prefers trading CD-R's via snail mail instead of mp3's through the internet. Let me know if you get enough patience mustered up to do a trade with CD-R's.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yep, eMule is a file-sharing program like Napster use to be (althought with Napster it was possible to only share Mp3s). But it must work on Mac, too, I bet.I prefer to trade with Mp3s, since it's fast and you can burn them on CDs as you want. That's why I didn't post my sticky "Trade list" on the Trading Board.With eMule I ONLY download bootlegs, I mean scores that aren't in stores. I don't download OSTs, I just buy them!I download music that isn't available anywhere. So no composers are damaged by this.For example, I downloaded the 3 Beltrami's Scream scores, but that's because in the stores we only got the lame songs soundtracks.I love these scores, and if one day the complete scores will be released, I will buy them. That's for sure. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my bootlegs.Also, there are scores, and OSTs, which are very old and impossible to find, or available only on vinyl. That's the only kind of OSTs I could download.I mean, I would never download "Signs" or "The Terminal" or "The Mummy", just to mention few, because I like to own the original CD, and I buy it in the store.And for the short bootleg scores, I burn them in 1 CD if they last less than 80 minutes. For example, I burned Jaws 3 and Jaws 4 in one CD, which is only 1 hour of music.Now kinda gimme more names!! 8OMirkoP.S.: Jason...get a PC! Mac sucks!
