I suppose dan's talking about "Christopher" Komeda - the "cult" spoof would be DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES (THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS), and the big hit would be ROSEMARY'S BABY? Tragic death at a young age seems to fit the clues too. Oh, and William Castle. Must be Komeda.
No idea who Loverozsa could be referring to, but it'll stop me from concentrating on my work all day...
Wild guess - Von Dexter? He did four William Castle horrors, but the reason for stopping writing doesn't tie in with what I've read about him...

Quoting from a letter sent to me May 9, 1988:
"Times have changed considerably since I retired from the music business. I think you will find it rather ironic the reason I quit scoring horror films. At the time, I truly felt guilty writing music for pictures of such low quality. I felt I was contributing to the delinquency of our youth....."
So- the answer to my riddle is- VON DEXTER
Now, that is interesting... I had read that Mr Dexter abandoned scoring due to a hand condition which caused actual "writing" on paper a chore..., but as Abraham Lincoln once said (or was it Lukas Kendall?), "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet".
dan - I'm drawing a blank on yours.
Here's my new one - THE EYES OF CHARLES SAND was a supernatural TV Movie from the early '70s. Made during a musicians' strike, the studio simply tracked in music from two earlier films, a thriller by Henry Mancini and an SF action movie by Ron Grainer. Can you name the two films? And an extra point if you can give more details about the outcome of that little bit of studio tomfoollery... NO CHEATING - I CAN SEE YOU ON MY SPYPHONE

Correct dan, the films were WAIT UNTIL DARK and THE OMEGA MAN. Mancini found out by accident, sued, and won. I must admit, THE EXORCIST didn't cross my mind, because I don't think we can consider a few seconds of "Tubular Bells" as a score. Wasn't it Jack Nitzsche who wrote the brief original score?
