the opening theme to "the shining"
the original score to "donnie darko"

don't forget "pet sematery" by the ramones.

"i don't wanna be buried
in a pet cemetary
i don't wanna live my live
again."

i heard Coil made some music for Hellraiser but they didn't
use it cos it was too scary... i'd love to hear their score

brilliant topic:)
yes hellraiser has a great opening composition,and i do like
halloween big fan over the piano notes overtop of horror
movie scores, i also think the exorcist has some great
sounds too.
I have a few sound tracks myself, Omen being the most
notable, hmmm goblin do a fine job with dario argento's
flicks.
although i love freddy and the elm street flicks idon't
think i would nominate much from the series, something about
80's guitar licks but it does definately fit the flicks.
evil dead has some intersting sounds and the end of night of
the living dead has some great eerie sounds too.
I also love the old black and whites abuse of the organ.
as far as beautiful music goes idon't think it fits with
horror music, not to say that scores aren't amazing and have
their own beauty but personally i think the best horror
movie scores chill you to the bone and make you feel nervous
and on edge, the sounds emphasize the mood and set the
tension i guess they can be beautiful in they're own way.

panta: buy "unnatural history II" by coil, it's all on
there.

they didn't use it because it was too scary?
i thought that was the point of horror, *please tell me it
aint so clive*

its not clive's fault, it was the film company... they
thought it would upset too many faint-hearted people...

anyway, it's a great score, and it's all on "unnatural
history II" which is one of my fav coil cds.

i don't think the film company thought that the coil
soundtrack was too scary, they just wanted a more
conventional orchestral score to make the film more
commercial/marketable. nevertheless, the coil soundtrack
would have added considerably to the atmosphere of the film.

well, all ive heard is what barker has said about it.

he's the one who started the rumor.

yeah shame, i say scare tha sh#T out of everyone, its
horror, its supposed to be horrorfying,but thats the
business world 4 ya.
Mr Barker had a few things in planning and i'd love to see
them but not sure if theywould ever see the light of day,
love his books and i'm sure there were a few planned to be
made films of.

Psycho and, even though it's not horror, the '02 Solaris
soundtrack fills me with dread.

Silent Hill 1-2-3 is the real big daddy of scary soundtracks
though.

true, it was clive barker who presented that scenario in
interviews. i suspect it makes a better story to say that
it was "too scary," and it certainly serves coil's
reputation to say so, than to say that "lacking the industry
clout to push for greater creative control, i was forced by
the financial backers to use a more conventional orchestral
soundtrack to create a more marketable product."

wouldnt be the first time coil got turned down.

supposedly reznor clashed with lynch during lost highway,
because trent was pushign for them to make an appearance.

the best we got form that was christopherson helping trent
on his solo tracks.

Word. That was my favorite thing about Ringu. Do you think
you can purchase that anywhere?

It's not a horror movie, but the score Kawai did for Ghost
in the Shell is really good, too.

I like The Shining's score, Alien, and some of the stuff on
Aliens, actually. I think there's a couple more, but I can
never pull them out when I post in these types of threads.

Oh, if we're going to include video games, then yes, the
Silent Hill series has great sound work. I like the
trip-hoppish stuff on those also.

yes, I just finished a hiphop track using samples from that
brilliant soundtrack, needless to say it sounds rugged.
