Shriek-Along Songs: Ten Scary Movie Soundtracks-- Part 1

From the October26, 2012, Chicago Tribune by Richard Knight Jr.  Includes photos and more information.  Worth a look.

10.  "THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN" (1935)--  Considered the grand-daddy of all monster movie scores by Franz Waxman.

9.  "ROSEMARY'S BABY" (1968)--  Polish jazz pianist composer Krzysztof Komeda's disquieting main title.

8.  "THE OMEN" (1976)--  Jerry Goldsmith's only Oscar for this over-the-top score.

7.  "SISTERS" (1973)--  Bernard Hermann's fee was the highest in this low-budget shocker, but worth it.  (I'm not familiar with this one.)

6.  "THE SHINING" (1980)--  Co-composers Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind's spine-chilling, synth-based main title is part of the movie's appeal.
