horror soundtracks

(Oh, also, Waxwork just did a third pressing of the Creepshow vinyl.)

yeah that list is kind of sheltered and way too coolness-oriented. i'm sorry but some of the greatest horror soundtracks of all time are from films that are legit embarrassing. everything on that list is either arty-hip or mondo-hip.

Seems like they admit some of the films are awful?

Glad to see that Libra's Shock really does have an audience. I've seen it on a few lists now and it's well deserved.

The biggest gaps to me is the lack of Hammer/Amicus/Tigon and no silent films. It's understandable people haven't got a hold of many Japanese soundtracks but when I was binging Samurai horror there was a lot of interesting stuff.

One net gain, I hadn't realized just how good The Entity score was until just now.

So hey, does anyone want a Bandcamp code for Jonathan Snipes' soundtrack for Starry Eyes? Guy who did Room 237, if you enjoyed that; I picked up a copy of the Starry Eyes score and got two Bandcamp cards by mistake. I can't guarantee the second one works, but if anyone wants it just email me

worth mentioning how incredible the MANDY soundtrack is
so loud, so good

in my top 20 this year

also prob one of the most dynamic records i own, parts of it scare the shit out of me even at low volume

Johannsson was extremely good at spooky tunes, i think the foreboding music throughout Sicario for example basically made that film twice as good as it was. It works as a horror score.

Can't wait to listen, Arrival was my favorite score of its year

oh man this is great

what a frickin' loss

Hints teased on the Intrada Records forum are making it look as if Jerry Goldsmith’s score for The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975) is gonna get released for the first time ever next week. If so, a massive massive occasion - even on the shitty bootlegs that have been around it’s clearly a total high water mark - gorgeous swooning romantic writing melted together with aggressive modular synth utterances. Super excited!!!

September's nearly here, which means I'm close to putting all my soundtrack discs in the car again.

This'll be a new one this year:

Ha I was going to say GHOST STORY was the release of the season. Sarde’s masterpiece imo and one of the best shivery/exquisite horror scores of all time

That one too!

Tempting…

picked this one up a few years ago.
listening to it is an intense experience.
probably more so than watching the actual film.
