Well, for starters, the ones I just bought in LLL's Haloween sale - Magic, Salem's Lot, Monster Squad, Sorority Row, Altered States.
So glad folks reminded me of Eye of the Devil - been a while since I listened to that one, well worth dusting off.
Prince of Darkness is another favorite.

I'm guessing you mean Pet Sematary instead of Salem's Lot there, Sean. I'm thinking of picking that one up too in LLL's sale, along with House on Sorority Row (that main theme!).

Jeesh, yes that's what I meant. Kept misnaming yesterday. Thanks. I love the original House/Alchemist release on Intrada from 20+ years ago. But the sale convinced me to double dip.

Well, it's that time of the year again...
What's everybody playing this month? I see some good ones have been posted in the Now Playing thread already: The Fog, Duel, Poltergeist II, Planet Terror.
Anyone getting an earful from their boyfriend or ghoulfriend or gelatinous sea-fiend about all the stingers, plinking piano, and creepy violins?

I'm spinning Intrada's CD release of Hugo Friedhofer's DIE SISTER, DIE! (1976) for the umpteenth time, but it still isn't hitting the mark for me. It seems to have all the right ingredients for my taste: 1) it's horror, 2) it's from the '70s, and 3) it's by a composer whose work I generally admire, but I'll be damned if it doesn't just bore me to tears. How can a score with such cool cover art be so lame? 
You sold me, but I see that it's sold out. Drat!

So far I've been playing Night of the Living Dead, The House on Sorority Row, Scream, Planet Terror, Stranger Things, and Resident Evil: Retribution...among others.
And out of sheer enjoyment of the score, I've been playing The Lost World: Jurassic Park more than anything this month. I guess maybe in a weird way this qualifies as horror? The film was Spielberg's tribute to King Kong and monster-on-a-rampage B-movies and Williams' score is dark and ferociously aggressive. If Jurassic Park is sonically like a landscape of bathing brachiosaurs and parasaurs on a summery day, then The Lost World is straight-up the slavering jaws of the T-rex bursting through your vehicle window.
