So far Sleepy Hollow (Elfman), Corpse Bride (Elfman), The Village (Newton-Howard) and Se7en (Shore). Not sure if the last one counts though. Will listen to some more Newton-Howard today (Signs and The Sixth Sense) and maybe revisit Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Beltrami/Sanders) - though I listened to it earlier in the month.
The above was yesterday. Today From Hell (Jones), Signs (Newton-Howard), Witches of Eastwick (Williams), The Haunting (Goldsmith), Psycho (Herrmann arr. McNeely), the Fly (Shore) and around half of Fantastic Beasts (Newton-Howard).
Just realised that in my urge to share my playlist I misread horror for Halloween. Anyway there are a few horror scores listed above. I try to alternate between scores from horror, mystery, and magic films.

Today's playlist was more focused on the horror side of Halloween. Mimic - DE (Beltrami), The Sixth Sense (Newton-Howard), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Doyle), Poltergeist - Rhino (Goldsmith), The Ninth Gate (Kilar), The Thing (Morricone), and Hannibal (Zimmer).
Hope to squeeze a few more in before Halloween. Any recommendations?

Excellent choices, Brianmcb.
I've been enjoying and would recommend Salem's Lot from Sukman. Also, Night of the Living Dead, if you have it, is the perfect mood-setter for the season.

Today's playlist: Dracula (Williams) - great score which sounds awful. Are you listening Varese? - WWZ (Beltrami) - plus title track by Muse, Alien (Goldsmith) - one disc, Victor Frankenstein (Armstrong), Dead Ringers (Shore) -
HOWE Records, The Wolfman (Elfman), and Something Wicked This Way Comes (Horner) - Intrada. Any more suggestions for my final playlist tomorrow? Not sure if the Horner one counts. Going to squeeze in Van Helsing (Silvestri) now.

From yesterday: Van Helsing (Silvestri), Bride of Frankenstein / The Devil Doll (Waxman) – Just the suites from the Varese collection, Silence of the Lambs (Shore), Pan’s Labyrinth (Navarrete), The Final Conflict (Goldsmith), Crimson Peak (Velázquez), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Kilar), The Happening (Newtown-Howard), Sisters (Herrmann), Drag Me to Hell (Young), The Fury (Williams), and Alien 3 (Goldenthal).
I have to say, I enjoyed the musical challenge that I set myself. Only one score per composer. Score had to be from a different film i.e. no sequels. Had to be new score v old score - I counted music written for a film in the 90s in the latter category. Scores should avoid following the musical traits of the previous score e.g. no choir back to back. Finally there should be an attempt to avoid scores from films that shared the same characters. However I did not manage to avoid this pitfall today.
As for the music there was a surprising variety and also quite enjoyable!

Every October I play To Kill a Mockingbird. Those last few scenes, set in October, with Bernstein's music are as good as it gets.

Non-horror is fair game for those more in the mood for something autumnal (or those from Norway, where Halloween doesn't exist).
We all associate certain scores with certain times of the year for a variety of reasons.
