Director Michael Mann described Tangerine Dream’s sound as “the cutting edge of electronic music,” and two years after working with Mann on the soundtrack for The Thief, the German electronic maestros composed the brooding, atmospheric music for Mann’s film The Keep, a chiller about Nazi soldiers awakening supernatural evil. Tangerine Dream, especi...
Stanley Kubrick draws on potent music to heighten the tension in the terrifying scenes that pepper his magnificent psychological horror thriller The Shining. Kubrick and Gordon Stainforth, his music editor on this 1980 classic, created a chilling sonic landscape, using pieces from electronic music trailblazers Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind, and al...
It’s the composer’s job to translate what they see on screen into sounds that heighten an audience’s emotional response to a movie. Bernard Herrmann’s dizzying soundtrack to Vertigo captures both the psychological issues of the main protagonist, John “Scottie” Ferguson, and the twists and turns of the movie’s unwinding plot. – Caren Gibson Best tra...
British electronic band Broadcast completed the music for the Berberian Sound Studio in the wake of their own horrific experience: the sudden death from pneumonia of 42-year-old lead singer Trish Keenan. The remaining band recorded 39 short tracks (the longest is under four minutes) for Peter Strickland’s horror film about a timid British engineer ...
According to John Carpenter, Morricone recorded all the orchestration for horror classic The Thing without having seen any clips. When the soundtrack was cut into the movie, Carpenter felt the tense moments could benefit from a different approach, so the director recorded some electronic instrumentation by himself to complement the film’s atmospher...
Philip Glass, one of the most famous modern composers, was attracted to compose the score for Candyman because he was persuaded that the young director Bernard Rose was making an independent, arty adaptation of a short story by Clive Barker. Glass composed a beautiful Gothic score – full of his trademark minimalism with repetitive structures and th...
If ambient horror isn’t yet a genre, it should be. Ominous synths and electronics join a tornado of strings and menacing percussion for the soundtrack to the fourth out of six in George A Romero’s series of Living Dead movies. Do yourself a favor and listen to this with the lights on. – Caren Gibson Best track:“Department Store Raid”
Alan Howarth, John Carpenter’s collaborator on the soundtrack for Halloween III: Season of the Witch, said that, as the film’s producer rather than director (who was Tommy Lee Wallace), Carpenter was in a relaxed mood, and told him he thought that writing the soundtrack for the horror movie was like being “on vacation.” Carpenter, who had played mu...
John Williams is better known for his iconic work on blockbusters such asStar Wars, ET The Extra Terrestrial, andSuperman. But he’s also dipped his toe into the murky waters of horror. For the John Badham-directed Dracula, the masterful composer perfectly exemplifies the dark romanticism of the title character. – Caren Gibson Best track:“Dracula’s ...
As Tobe Hooper was making his directorial debut with the gory slasher horror The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, he and Wayne Bell created a truly scary score. The texture of the music has a disturbing tone to it, something helped by their innovative use of multiple instruments – including an old five-string Kay upright double bass, a Fender lap steel gu...

- I Got 5 on It (Us) Us - Official Trailer [HD] To think that a song about smoking weed could become so terrifying. Director Jordan Peele gave the world their first glimpse into his second film with this old-school song from rapper Luniz.
- Dream A Little Dream of Me (Doctor Sleep) STEPHEN KING'S DOCTOR SLEEP - Final Trailer [HD] One would be forgiven for not recognizing the tune during the second half of Doctor Sleep‘s first trailer.
- Say My Name (2021’s Candyman) Candyman - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) HD. Not a lot of people would think that a song by Destiny’s Child would be used for a scary movie, but the horror genre makes fools out of everyone.
- Fingertips Pt. 2 (Nope) NOPE - Official Trailer. At this point, Jordan Peele has mastered the art of taking popular songs and turning them into frightening anthems.

- ‘Xtro’ (Harry Bromley Davenport, 1983) Director Harry Bromley Davenport once described his 1983 sci-fi shocker Xtro as "an extraordinary mess," an assessment that the film's many critics would probably view as immodestly generous.
- ‘Zombi 2’ (Fabio Frizzi, 1979) This sort-of sequel to the Italian release of Dawn of the Dead includes what may be the most memorable theme song from synth-horror master and frequent Lucio Fulci collaborator Fabio Frizzi – a dark electronic plod that makes Goblin seem light-hearted.
- ‘C.H.U.D.’ (Martin Cooper and David Hughes, 1984) Composed by Martin Cooper (the keyboardist from hit-making New Wave romantics Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark) and David Hughes (an ex-keyboardist from the same), the C.H.U.D.
- ‘Nightmare City’ (Stelvio Cipriani, 1980) Nothing about Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City makes much sense, from the lack of a consistent logic (its "zombies" run, wield weapons and sometimes look pretty normal), to its absurd story (men and women are exposed to radiation on an airplane and come out ready to kill) to its tendency to take the scenic route towards plot.
