Comment:

Much like the crypts and caverns that scary movie scores conjure up out of the ether, the deeper we delve into our playlist the more frightening and revealing the spooky soundscapes become. We now know that Danny Elfman is a master of the macabre, bringing to mind headless horsemen and serial killers — for [i]Sleepy Hollow[/i] and [i]Red Dragon[/i] respectively — not to mention a decaying but delightful [i]Corpse Bride[/i]. We've also confirmed that that Italian prog rockers Goblin were one of [i]giallo[/i] maestro Dario Argento's greatest allies; and that John Carpenter's chilling synthesizer scores (with added gasoline on "Christine") are as seminal as his films.
