And only about 20 seconds of that music is actually heard in the film. :) +6

Yeah. The entire piece is over forty minutes long.

The music from the "Omen" movies always got to me a little. It's just evil!

Yes, one of the best scores, ever, of all time : Jerry Goldsmith's music for the first " The Omen. " The music is often almost scarier than the movie itself. I listen to the score relatively often -- it was one of the first times I realized how superlative music in a movie could be. "Psycho" was another one. +6

The remake didn't have the Satanic chant, and the whole movie sucked ass. Me sticky with the original.

Nothing freaks me out more than the music from Psycho. I don't know that it would work with any other movie, but it is so fitting and adds so much to that movie.

Hitchcock himself said, "33% of the effect of Psycho was due to the music."

The score, composed by Bernard Herrmann, is played entirely by stringed instruments.

...CREEPY!

Very creepy, good answer thanks.

One of the best scores to a movie, period; perhaps, THE best. Pure classic. Great answer.

Amazing how the theme has become part of modern culture- - even if people haven't seen the movie, they hear that theme and think " shark." +6
Avatar Chainsaw Sep, 07 2009 at 05:43 PM
It's a cultural icon, one which has spawned much satire, too. :D

Definitely, Mourning Cloak! :)

I hate to sound cliche but the Halloween Theme has been and always will be my favorite. But, I also like the theme to the original Amityville Horror.

Not a film, but the theme from tales from the darkside still gives me chills. It always takes me back to my 4th grade summer and staying up late at night to get scarred silly.
