I seem to recall that Goldsmith did some interesting percussion work on this score, including using bones in the orchestration. I definitely hear some of the elements that would later go into Basic Instinct.

I remember this score getting bashed from here to Tuesday...but mainly I remember listening to Leviathan and a few other scores around that period and thinking Goldsmith had really lost it and this was the end of the line, and then hearing Warlock and being thrilled to hear that dry, percussive 70s sound make a very exciting return--a lot of the atmospheric stuff had the feel of Mephisto Waltz without rehashing that score's style at all. And there was a mischievous, Halloween (the holiday, not the movie) sound to it I always enjoyed--this is one of the Goldsmith scores that always pulls me all the way through which I can't say of many scores of that period. Nice to see it getting a little bit more respect than it did during its debut.
