Best Horror Movie Themes

[Fran]

In the middle of Saw 3's huge release, I felt like coming up with this thread.

If one like it exist, please merge it or close it mods

I think that Saw's closing theme (With the high-tension beat) is a great theme. Jaws definitely stands up among the top, along with Halloween.

 

[The Shape]

Halloween.
The Excorcist.
Psycho.

And I agree, the Saw theme is really badass during all of the conclusions.

 

[xwolverine2]

yeah i loved the saw theme..... they kept playing it throughout the whole movie whenever some sort of twist happened...

i think halloween is the only qualifying one though..... so it wins.
simple and catchy

 

[Ben Urich]

Halloween.

 

[xwolverine2]

scratch what i said......... saw theme beats the halloween one.(just listened to it)

what other themes are there anyways?

 

[Max J Power]

I don't think it has a recurring theme, but the score to The Shining is brilliant. It sets the atmosphere perfectly for the movie.

 

[cabel]

Nightmare on Elm Street

 

[Fried Gold]

Psycho, you spastics, Psycho.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Return Of The Living Dead

I always liked the music from Friday the 13th, with the knife swipe sound effects.

 

[Prognosticator]

Should we stop now and save this for next september/october...I'm about Horror'd out.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

[FOG3]

Tenebre theme

 

[Kable24]

Halloween
The Exorcist
Jaws

The 3 of these are probably the best known.

 

[Bat Attack]

Halloween
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Alien (soooo creepy.)

 

[66 Face]

1. Psycho
2. Jaws
3. The Omen (original)
4. Halloween
5. Can Freaks count??? "One of us... One of us"

 

[Dr.Dude]

Hellraiser, definitley Hellraiser. The theme just defines the movie in an epic way, and is extremely memorable.

Always was a fan of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street themes, too... but overall, still gotta go with Hellraiser as the best.

 

[블라스]

JC's The Thing.
Ennio Morricone FTW.

 

[The Chairman]

The Omen FTW. To this day, it still scares the living **** out of me. Jerry Goldsmith was a genius. He deserved the Oscar that year.

Honorable Mentions:

Psycho
The Exorcist
The Lost Boys
Halloween
Jaws

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Halloween

 

[Lead Cenobite]

Hellraiser, definitley Hellraiser. The theme just defines the movie in an epic way, and is extremely memorable.

I second that. t:
