Top 15 Horror Film Themes #2

Film: Halloween Music: main title Year: 1978 Composer: John Carpenter Possibly the most famous horror theme to date. The Halloween score has been chilling audiences since 1978, and has been permanently embedded into our pop culture since its inception. No stranger to music composition, director John Carpenter decided to cut costs on his independent film by writing much of the music himself--with help from Dan Wyman, who had worked with him on his previous film, Assault on Precinct 13. What they created was a rich electronic score that has become just as famous as the film itself, a popular radio staple every October, and one of the most identifiable film themes in history.
