Recently picked up the Nightmare on Elm Street box and I've been happily sampling when I can find a few minutes.

I thought the topic said "HORNER scores".
I suppose I can do Horner Horror (as many have).
I tend to put Chiller by the Cincinnati Pops into heavy rotation this month. Oh, and Nightmare Before Christmas (although that should arguably be a November score).

Halloween, technically, is a sort of nightmare that comes before Christmas. I think it counts. It even has a song called "This Is Halloween."

No Halloween at my house would be complete without me spinning
Monstrous Movie Music
More Monstrous Movie Music
Creature from the Black Lagoon (a compilation of the MMM and original tracks - seamless which shows how amazing the MMM recordings are)
The Blob
This Island Earth (etc.)
Bride of Frankenstein
House of Frankenstein (the sublime Morgan and Stromberg rerecording)
Music for Frankenstein (kinda poor rerecordings of Ghost and House of Frankie)
The Monster Music of Hans J. Salter & Frank Skinner (much better recording of Son, The Invisible Man Returns and The Wolf Man – omg this is a great album)
Ghost of Frankenstein (The Complete Classic Film Score LP – why isn’t this on CD yet???)
And the following Hammer film scores:
The Satanic Rites of Dracula (the main theme just screams “autumn” to me)
The Mummy
The Vampire Lovers
Dracula AD 1972
The Frankenstein Filmmusic Collection
The Devil Rides Out
Scars of Dracula
Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb
Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb
And finally
The Classic Scores from Hammer Horror, the great Silva CD

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?
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!
So far stuck to the playlist (mostly). Dropped Goldsmith's Haunting for the expanded release and ddin't play Elfman back to back on the same day. Let Me In was added to yesterday's playlist while today's was made up of the following: Exorcist 2, Woman in Black, Byzantium, Twisted Nerve, The Ring/Ring 2, The Uninvited and Prometheus.
