Shriek-Along Songs: Ten Scary Movie Soundtracks-- Part 2

5.  "WAIT UNTIL DARK" (1967)--  Who'd have though Henry Mancini could get so scary?

4.  "THE EXORCIST" (1973)--  Michael Oldfield's "Tubular Bells and then that fuzz-box guitar.  Shivers up my spine just typing this.


3.  "JAWS" (1975)--  Spielberg at first thought John Williams' two-note theme of the man eater's approach was a joke.  I never understood why those dummies didn't get out of the water when they heard those two notes?


2.  "HALLOWEEN" (1976)--  Ushered in the age of slasher movies.  John Carpenter's "Susperia" with the threatening bass.  Then there was that "pshic, pshic sound."  Again, hear that, GET OUT!!!


1.  "PSYCHO" (1960)--  Bernard Herrmann's driving main title music.  Hitchcock originally wanted no music for the shower scene.  But those slashing, dissonant strings!!!
