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!!!

WHICH CAME FIRST?: Pepsi-Cola, Dr. Pepper, Tab, 7-Up Hey, pop my top!!
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
