Even if you're not a fan of horror flicks, chances are you're familiar with the some of the most popular musical themes. Who can forget Psycho’s high-pitched shrieking staccato strings in the shower scene, Halloween’s opening titles, and of course the Jaws theme?
FEARnet has put together a list of the 10 Greatest Horror Movie Music Themes, and I have to say they have a pretty solid collection.
Below are some of their picks, or you can visit their site for the full list:
Dawn of the Dead
Obviously, one of this site's favorite films of all time. There's not a single horror fan that doesn't know this zombie tune by heart.
Psycho
Every note and beat of Bernard Herrmann's score to Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece is pure poetry.
Halloween
There is no better example of music being intimately tied to a horror film's impact than the opening titles of this 1978 classic.
