99.999% correct, Tone! "Sounds (not "Song") of the Night." Joe Williams on vocals in one version, and an unidentified female on the other version. Hear them on FSM's great Gerald Fried horror bonanza!

What's the common denominator?
Christopher Young, Daniel Licht, Eliott Goldenthal, Alan Silvestri, et al.
Did they all write scores for Stephen King film adaptations?
Bazingo!
With THE DARK HALF (93) - Christopher Young being a super standout. THINNER (95) - Licht, PET SEMATARY (89) - Goldenthal and CAT'S EYE - (85) - Silvestri are quite notable as well.

I for one need some klooz on those intials, Advise n' Consent. I can think of some composers with those initials, but I cant link them in a logical way. American movies? Japanese? A string of sequels?
I don't want to have too many unanswered questions floating around while folks post new ones, but I'm going to post one anyway. Forgive me.
In the early '70s, a well-known composer for the genre scored one of the "revenge of nature" cycle of movies - composed entirely of manipulated amphibian sounds recorded at different speeds, mixed, and then performed on the synthesizer. Composer, film, and animal please.

FROGS by Les Baxter is correct, dan. Have a good few days away. Meanwhile, let's see if anyone can get A n' C's string of initials. I'm stumped there.
Bah, I'm gonna ask another one anyway, while FROGS is (are?) on my mind...
Another in the loosely-termed "revenge of nature" cycle was a film from the second half of the '70s. Apart from the "creatures-turning-on-Man" plot (sort of), it shared something else in common with FROGS - it had a wholly electronic/ synth score, extremely effective and completely atonal. Which is about as far as you can get from what the composer is most known for, namely bouncy upbeat scores and songs.
Film, composer and animal please.

SBD - Well done! BUG, Charles Fox, firestarting cockroaches! Great film!
A n' C - Still a numbskull with your questions.
Tone - Perhaps I shall be able to answer all questions better when I cease to be a numbskull, namely when I get that foreign thing you mention. I promise myself I shall check it out in order to see if the upsurge in my cerebral activity turns my cranium into a very large scrote-bag, such as the one sported by that mutant thing in trousers, in that great SF adventure from the '50s called "T.I.E.", with music mostly by HS, but with additional cues by another HS, and by HM too.
Film, composers, and name of planet which the scrote-heads inhabited.
ADDED, A BIT LATER ON:
Blimey, Tone - I've just checked out that SEDDOK film on YouTube. Pretty good print, plus it's in Italian (with Spanish subtitles). I'm not really into watching whole movies on the Tube, but I'll make an exception here because it's not dubbed, the STREETCAR influence is huge (i.e. it's nearly the same) and a woman gets down to her sexy undies, 1960-style, in the first minute. Thanks for the tip-off! ///PPS - Don't go for ATOM AGE VAMPIRE on the Tube. It's SEDDOK, but dubbed into English and missing a lot of footage such as the opening striptease. Thanking you for your patience.///

Hint: Composer initials from a series of genre films.
My apologies Mr. Watts. I didn't set out to make my question overly difficult. In fact, I modelled it on an IQ test question.
Here's a hint: the initials are the name of the composers who wrote the scores to a very successful, and contemporary, series of 'genre' films.
