Robert Cobert would set the tone for Dark Shadows as much as Barnabas Collins would, making for a most memorable show.
Song of the Day: The Robert Cobert Orchestra – Dark Shadows Opening Theme
Song of the Day: Bernard Herrmann – Prelude from Psycho
A great movie needs a great score and Bernard Herrmann would deliver that for Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.
Song of the Day: Howard Shore – Scanners Main Title + A Public Scanning
Howard Shore and Scanners, two things that should not go together but do and end up being great.
Song of the Day: Lalo Schifrin – The Amityville Horror Music Suite
Most horror franchises have a lot of ups and downs, none perhaps more so than Amityville but thanks to Lalo Schifrin, it helped to make the original Horror memorable.
Song of the Day: Vic Mizzy – The Addams Family Theme
While the show might have been more comedy than horror, both genres are a lot of fun and the theme song is a classic.
Song of the Day: Jay Chattaway – Maniac’s Theme
A bit of mood music from the film Maniac by Jay Chattaway.
Song of the Day: Ennio Morricone – Magic and Ecstasy from The Exorcist II The Heretic
Just a little Ennio Morricone from The Exorcist II to start the day off on the road to Halloween.
Song of the Day: The Dudes of Wrath – Shocker from Shocker
How can one not like a band called The Dudes of Wrath? Suffice it to say, this all-star outing creates a track that may just be better than the film.
Song of the Day: John Carpenter & Alan Howarth – Chariots of Pumpkins from Halloween III
For this Halloween, an aptly titled track from both John Carpenter and Alan Howarth.
Song of the Day: Hans J. Salter – The Creature From The Black Lagoon Suite
One of the greatest creature features of all time would receive a great soundtrack courtesy of Hans J. Salter. A fantastic bit of music for the season.
