NO-66- HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN-44-Salter and company again delivered a great score like they did often in 40's genre films where there is good music at nearly every turn in these short efforts. We have the grand opening theme,,Dracula's seduction theme, Dracula's chase theme, Daniel's sad touching theme, the gyspy dance number and loads of wonderful mood cues to sandwich it all together, it was once said, the music in a string of these films were possibly more important then anything else, and like a bunch of other films from Salter and company in that period, the music scores were elite assets and some of the best that ever came down the pipe for a movie, extremely underrated and always will be.

NO 64- SCROOGE-70-fitting time to put one of my personal favorite musicals from Leslie Bricusse, i like all the musical numbers from the beautiful sad, "You", to the uplifting pretty "Happiness"" to the fine catchy numbers like Thank you very much, father Christmas etc , the lovely, "beautiful morning", the tuneful "Christmas children", the addictive dance number December 25th, and that wonderful end piece "i will live my life". adding to a joyous conclusion.I never forget as a kid freezing outside to get in to see this at Radio City Music hall, i also later on, won't forget the little Christmas present Footlight Records in New York gave us the customers, when around Christmas they would play the whole soundtrack record in their store[80's 90's.] Fond bygone memories of a long gone era.

NO-60-LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT-72- When it comes to a basically song score[not a musical] but songs on the soundtrack, i feel this was one of the most effective scores for this imfamous trendsetting classic. Pretty at times, dark and comical at times, tragic at times, it just fit perfectly with the moods of the character's in the film.MR David Hess, actor as well handle the score, he also gave us some very effective shock cues that create a few classic shock scenes in film history as well.

NO-59- TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR-57-Somtimes a theme can be so memorable it can be enough to lift a film to higher heights, This theme from Jay Livingston's does it for this film, One of the most touching themes ever, a mood altering wonder.

NO-58-GORGO-59-61-Here i feel is the perfect score by Anthony Lavagino, Why? We have a lovely opening main theme lullabye, then some of the most exciting action themes and cues in film score history, that creates a great unnerving feeling of tension , suspense and uneasiness, along with some heroic themes as well, concluding with the lovely melody during end credits, perfect score for a Eugene Lourie, monster classic.Whamo.

No 57-GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTIAN-67- Wonderful spiritual main theme lifts this Ennio Morricone score to great heights, i know Ennio has done it so many times, the great composer he is, given us such majestic themes, but this one really sends me out there.

NO-56-DEATH CURSE OF TARTU-67- Now here might be a ringer, folks, i don't have enough info on this score, is it canned music ?, who is the composer of the music?, if source music who is the original composer?, etc etc, I just know this music score sends this moderate low budget genre effort to 2 and a half star level, that without the score i feel might not make 2 stars. It's action theme use during the action scenes is a exciting gem, magnificent indeed.It reminds me how the music score from the Superman TV show of the 50's were also such assets to the film, even though it was non original source music. Any info on this movie score is most welcome.
