My kind of topic!
Horror movie muc is a pason of mine.
I have a huge collection (and I'm always willing to share!).
My favorite all time score is Candyman.
Phillip Glass is an absolute genious and I've never heard muc as haunting and beautiful as what he did for Candyman.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jjLMm7C2EYThe Reflecting Skin - a little known film starring a younger Viggo Mortesen that messed me up when I was like 13 years old.
But the muc is truly amazing and merits way more recognition than it ever received.
Genious stuff.
I'm so glad there are samples on youtube, cuz I almost didn't expect it.

Very cool...part 1 starts here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JlZ9E1p ... re=relatedFriday the 13th is right up there too, especially parts 1 and 7.
The piano theme when Alice is in the lake is the perfect lullaby for that setting and the credits of part 7 bring back alot of childhood memories for me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql_5rRd3zBcChristopher Young's score for Hellraiser is another masterpiece.
And if you like his work, definitely check out his score for Flowers in the Attic.
It's not as epic, but it's definitely creepy and the melody is gorgeous.
Flowers in the Attic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gcW7LnpQ6EAs much as I love Tubular Bells, I gotta say that the score for Exorcist II gets under my skin way more...and is probably the reason why I'm one of like three people in the world who actually liked that movie.

Check it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPdK1CW6 ... 73E85ECB91I can still remember being a kid and going to see Bram Stoker's Dracula in theaters with my dad.
He didn't take me willingly, there was a tantrum involved.
Heh...but anyways, the movie starts and throughout that whole beginning section I'm glued to my seat with bulging eyes until the moment the film title appears on the screen.
What a beginning!
That movie was like the best rollercoaster...or like a universal studios attraction for me.
And the muc was a HUGE part of that.
