Top 32 horror movie themes (in my opinion)

[misterneonshuffle]

some of these are so light hearted you have to applaud the irony

[JokerThanos]

The songs(themes) are all good!

[crystalezio21]

anyone know the name of that espirito santo scary song?

[Roskomatt]

I didnt watchem all so was silence of the lamas on there

[THEGREASER100000]

candyman it was always you helen, shoud be number 1

[JasonVoorhees525]

Where can I find the audio file for the Chopping Mall theme? I want to create a CM video and need it to support the video!

[Erwinator1000]

what's the name of the Psychic-theme?

[ThisNickWasntTaken]

@Erwinator1000

Not sure, just Sette note in nero main theme or something.

[pedro26789]

no one missed phone call  wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooo­oooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[PeyserConley]

Great classic picks! But I'm surprised you didn't put Dawn of the Dead (1978) there somewhere. "L'alba dei morti viventi" and "Zombi" are both epic songs.

[Dafduk]

Briiliant list! Just remember are the choices of the creator, so clearly not everybody will be satisfied. Also, soundtracks are all the more creepy because of the images they conjure. That's why themes like 'Candyman' and 'One Missed Call' work.

[lpsrocks2007]

dude?? candyman?

[EvilspeakNL]

Where can I find that Deadly Spawn theme? I can only find another one

[ylellan12]

@EvilspeakNL if you find it send it to me PLEASE! I want it too ): I've been looking for it

[putooka]

I want to download the deadly spawn track. I looking for it but I don't find. Do you know where I can download the track? thanks man

[likelovelikelove]

:O(

[HazardKILLER7]

some of these movies are real classics.

[caleb4054]

i saw amityville horror and im watching halloween right now

[frazzzer8888]

No ROSEMARY'S BABY?

Dude...

[cryfab]

@frazzzer8888 Forgotten

[MechaDestoroyah8]

I know this is your opinion but if it was mine Phantasm would be #1

[MechaDestoroyah8]

What is Spawn?

[MichaelCavese]

@MechaDestoroyah8 i think its sperm lol

[MechaDestoroyah8]

@MichaelCavese *Facepalm* lmao

[aaronsehy]

is it me or does #19 look like micheal jackson lmao xD

[MegaMyxy]

@TheSkittles1001 I agree with the shining. Awesome theme for an awesome movie.

[MegaMyxy]

lots of great movies up there...

[UltimateGamerKodak]

Back Then (In The 70's and 80's) The Organ (Huge weird sounding piano) was the SHIT! (Wasn't it?)

[JokerThanos]

I like this,everything is good!

[ilovesaw9]

Was The Omen good? Everyone seems to think so... Maybe I should see it?

[axecalibore]

The best one by far is Chopping Mall. Lots of these others are not so memorable. Psycho is an obvious winner (but too familiar), as is Reanimator which copied Psycho. I'd forgotten how good Return of the Dead theme is! The Omen was Jerry Goldsmith's only Oscar for his entire career- the movie, not so good.

[0ri0n77]

A lot of the I didn't even knew... Body count seems amazing.

[TheBloodyPearl]

uhhh I am sorry @cryfab I didn't mean to be rude I just told you my opinion :D...Sorry if I make you feel bad ;)

[TheSkittles1001]

Where is Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Shining? They're classics and deserve some respect. Psycho should be a little higher. Gotta respect The Return of the Living Dead... Also, why the hell is Candyman on there..? Really..?

[cryfab]

@TheSkittles1001 Oh, my god, another one! Jason is my favourite boogeyman, A Nightmare OES is fuckin' awesome, The Shining is The Shining, I love them all, but in this video I consider the themes! The music, not the movies! It's a "In my opinion" video, I don't like so much the themes of these movies. I prefer exalting little unknown films (Chopping Mall) with excellent themes to great classics with themes I don't appreciate. I repeat, it's a "In my opinion" video. De gustibus.

[TheSkittles1001]

@cryfab How is the eerie theme from Friday the 13th not classic scary. The others I can see yeah, but just the feel of the 13th's theme is epic, and creative. Just sayin...

[cryfab]

@TheSkittles1001 In fact, Friday the 13th's theme is my favourite among the others you said.... Rethinking, I would add it in the next update (a top 75, why not). But about the other themes, sorry, I can't do much: they're good of course, but I don't find them enough special to consider "some of my favourite ones".

[syngervice67]

@cryfab i feel you also missed a good one, dead silence

[cryfab]

@syngervice67 I didn't remember it. Thanks, it's creeepy!

[Rykanable]

Saw is not a horror movie btw.

[cryfab]

@Rykanable What???

[PheonixZilla13]

@Rykanable Ya,it is

[TheBloodyPearl]

turokthewolf818 is right THE RING has realy cool (creepy) theme !!! And...why Cannibal holocaust is 4th in the list?! OMG it sounds like a romantic movie (PUKE) - AND I AM REALY NOT AGREE WITH THE FIRST PLACE

[cryfab]

@TheBloodyPearl Deep Red is my favourite horror theme.

I don't mind if you don't agree : it's an "in my opinion" video...

And about Cannibal Holocaust, if you watched the movie, you would understand how much strong and scary is this "like a romantic movie" theme... It's an extremely idiot definition of it, let me say. Matched with the absolutely violent images of the movie, the music is one of the creepiest things I've ever heard.

[1awfrench]

I am sure that HR GIGER did the poster art for "The Psychic"

[loz512]

The puppet master and deadly spawn themes are the best

[mrMyers22]

its very hard to find the body count theme. :/

[AndyDirks69]

good, but im better, check out my beats

[9milliGloccBoi]

dude i cant believe u left out friday the 13th's theme :o

[RAlmofti96]

Good choices :D

[GreenDayFan625]

the halloween theme is basically the theme for zombies with out the low daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[turokthewolf818]

i always wonder why nobody includes the theme song to dead silence or children of the corn, or the ring they all rule

[Jarekkk125]

Someone have this track from The Deadly Spawn?

I need it.

[Laney8898]

i've never have really thought of jaws as a horror film..

but it sure is gory like the rest of the horror films!

[Sc33n3]

The Cannibal Holocaust theme brings back terrible memories..

[iKHRONIIKZ]

can anybody help me i am looking for this creepy song and it goes kind of like

duuuuuhhhhh duuuuuuuuuuuhhhh duuuuuuuuuhhhhhh daaaaaaahhhh

[BastiPlump92]

i like the theme of Deadly Spawn No. 30

[Cherryvan11]

i love the theme of halloween, its just so... good and bad at the same time. good selection of horror themes!

[Differcow]

Cannibal Holocaust is such a disturbing movie. Not scary, just....O.o

[gigglemonster98]

the exorcist is awesome

[sakalak]

I really like Ortolani's score for Mondo Cane, but is it accurate to describe the film as a horror movie?

[cryfab]

@sakalak Well, "Mondo Cane" is not a pure horror film. But it describes the horrors of our world (and many scenes in the movie are extremely violent and/or creepy), so I decided to put it in the list... And the score is amazing!

[sakalak]

@cryfab Fair enough!

[foottothenuts]

Saw didn't belong anywhere on this list

[bostoncreamdonuts]

just subscribed! i love seeing other ppls opiinions about horror movies, and it looks like you have a couple "top" lists, good job!

[0904494005]

omg you are stiupid best horror movie ever is The Hills Have Eyes! not this fucks

[cryfab]

@0904494005 THHE's theme is not so notable. The movies (1977, 2006) both are very good.

[NancyKTV]

@0904494005 its not the movies its their songs

[psychoguy4]

i would also put a lot of italian horror theme songs in my countdown. oh yeah, you forgot to put city of the living dead and dawn of the dead (1978).

[hithr3000]

hey, i recognize 'the psychic' theme from 'kill bill.' i guess tarantino ripped it off.

[spyrothedragon590]

I actually respect your opinion. I loved it! Dario Agento's Profondo Rosso Track for Deep Red at 1#, I seriously couldn't agree with you more!

[cryfab]

@spyrothedragon590 Thank you: I've just made a "Top 51", take a look!

[FleshEater31]

i am really digging your choice of themes buddy. there are some awesome themes.

[radioblueheart]

Good choices! Ever consider doing another 8 to make it an even 40?

[megaultradamn]

Is Deep Red as good as they say it is? What about Chopping Mall?

[MechaDestoroyah8]

#31 is it just about a cerial killer because the theme sounds like its someone insane fits it perfectly

[CultofJ]

Really good stuff, glad you included some Fulci stuff here. Never realized how similar Poltergiest and Amityville are.

[LittleDewDrop16]

@CultofJ Halloween and The Exorcist sound the similar too.

[anon8660]

fantomas covered a lot of these. they are fucking great. pick up the album directors cut.

[ap95481]

2:59 where did you get it ive been looking for it but all i get is the disco and dance club version i want the actual original one

[Dale1cool]

No puts resident evil in their list, that has a great theme.

[MrJackThompson]

oh awesome that you have 'House by Cemetery; in there, that made it to my list

[XDeidaraXItachiXBFFX]

#4 made me piss myself just looking at the cover!!!! DDDDDDDDD:

[xdrualx]

can somebody tell me where i can find the whole psychic theme?

[Rattleheadism]

plz can i have the soundtrack of Body count (Il camping del terrore)?

[rhiangivan]

I never heard of half of these movie :) and now I'm curious to watch them.

[Ragnarokr]

Good choices. :D

[cassiatam]

I liked it, but I think which the Phenomena's theme should must be in the list.

[gagalathebest]

Halloween is the best *_____*

[ytrox3210]

ive been waiting for someone to use return of the living dead

[pagoogly]

XD i thought that i was the only one that knew about brain damage

[shalgiva]

You Have Great Taste!

[197faith]

the last three kinda sound the same and phantasm

[197faith]

you forgot dead silence



[ChertotheZ]

How dense am I? All the times I've watched Kill Bill and didn't know that the Psychic theme song was in there. Of course, now I have to go and watch The Psychic. Great tunes by the way.

[chexer1231]

i think saw should be #1!!!

[SlavicDemon]

@chexer1231 But its his opinion.

[chexer1231]

@SlavicDemon i know and i did say I THINK!!!!

[TRAPPATUBE]

a can u tell me who made creepshow theme

[NijenK99]

Why is everybody looking over the theme from John Carpenter's "The Thing"?

[petrietri]

#9 reminds me of Castlevania, and I think #23 is in Tarantino's "Kill Bill" when The Bride slices Buck's Achilles tendon in the hospital.

[mattTd7]

you forgot demonic toys 

[cryfab]

@mattTd7 I was unsure about adding Demonic Toys' theme, but finally I prefered Puppet Master's one. On second thoughts, I forgot Dolly Dearest: that was very nice. Maybe I'm going to make a top 50...

[CanswerHipHop]

Can you send me the theme for Body Count?

[PianoMan53100]

WHAT ABOUT THE SHINING!!!??!! :S

[dragonholder411]

I think songs like polterguist's are cute. As long as you don't think of them in a horror movie type sense. :)

[harryotterrules]

ReAnimator sounds exactly like Psycho

[NocturnalTerror]

Got to love John Harrison on Creepshow

[laurelfan1]

What about the theme from "The Fog" (the original)? That's one of my favorites.

[cryfab]

@laurelfan1 You're right, good one.

[shadymattuk]

The Hellraiser theme should get a mention. And Hans Zimmer's Ring as well. Nice collection though.

[morgwaine]

One of the best tops I´ve seen (and heard), awesome work thanks, I´m searching for each an one of this movies cause the themes are absolutely awesome! I would love a Nightmare on elm street theme here but that is a personal thing, suspiria, bodycount, and cannibal holocaust are movies that I haven´t seen but give me the creeps.

[fridaythethirteenfan]

wonderful. i really love the profondo rosso, sette note in nero and la dama rossa occide sette volte themes. theyre really good.

[geebeby]

creepshow (L)

[baboracus]

phantasm is top of the line music....I've never seen the movie before but based entirely on the theme song, I can swiftly conclude that I would enjoy the movie.

[Yaop92]

nice...

[120jours2Sodom]

Thanks for the vidéo ! Nice choice ! PLEASE, i have a question about a rap sample...i'm shure you don't like but they use a horror movie soundtrack i think & i forgot what's the title...i'm obset ah ah ah !

It's from the young rapper Donnie Darko (like the movie...) the title is " D. Darko " from the disc " Art Of Tha Devil ". You have a video here on YouTube. Sorry for this question...

Thanks from Switzerland !

[xernatas]

great !

[ashdeadite123]

Great list but what about The Burning theme?

[cryfab]

In fact, I forgot it... I would be high, maybe # 9...

[pttycks111]

I SOOOOOOOOOOO want to watch saw but actually my big brother who is 11 years old gets scared really easily and I am almost turning 10! So my mom and dad wont let my brother watch it who copies me in everything!

[TraumatizedTrailers]

The Cannibal Holocaust theme freaked me out. I guess because the song that plays during the main titles is so relaxing and the movie is so intense. You have some really good picks here. Good job!

[danduran89]

Wow. I've seen alot of "Top Horror Movie Themes" lists, but this is one of the most original and interesting. I love how you chose more obscure movies rather than the ones most of us already heard. I don't exactly agree with all of them: Psycho, Candyman, and The Amittyville Horror deserve higher spots, but there a few nice gems in this list. I would've included "Eyes Without A Face," "Rosemary's Baby," and "Carrie" though.

[Conflict4922]

Oh and also the Deadly Spawn theme....?

[cryfab]

@Conflict4922

Hi, you can find The Deadly... and Chopping... themes on buysoundtrax[dot]com, but I usually rip themes from the credits.

[Conflict4922]

Where did you getting the Chopping Mall theme...or did u just rip it from the opening credits?

[ThisNickWasntTaken]

Nice, you have good taste.

Where can I find that version of Deep red?

[ThisNickWasntTaken]

@ThisNickWasntTaken

Also, The Deadly Spawn song, gah I need to hear the whole thing! Where to find?

[nerdelicious5]

Bodycount is a really cheesy movie but it's got a great song.

[style70405]

How have you discover BODYCOUNT? : I like the theme !!!!!

[sharpnickelz]

No A Nightmare On Elm Street? No JC's The Thing? I see a noticeable omission of John Carpenter themes, besides Halloween. Make a top 50!

[cryfab]

I want to be sincere, I think that "A nightmare" and "The thing" are good themes, but they aren't between my favourite ones. About John Carpenter's ones, you're right. For example, I forgot "Escape from New York" and "Christine"... I love them.

[TheFlashbabe]

31 is awesome and deserve a higher place amityville horror house is great to and deserves higher candyman is awesome and deserves higher LOL puppetmaster sounds like a sims song. the saw soundtrack is awesome. the exoricst is a really good and famous one and deep red is also nice.

[FearTheTristen]

phantasm deserves better than 13

[TheDeaditeSlayer]

The music for the ENTIRE Phantasm franchise is my favorite! I love how they change it up to each sequel. Just superb!

[SlipknotFanForever1]

My favourite ones were excorsist, saw and halloween but i think you should have had nightmare on elm street! Great vid though

[deadinred11]

the omen is a religion movie of the devil! 666

[TonyBriggs]

what yr body count n chopping mall come out?

[jonasmyers77]

Candyman deserves a better place than 24#

[matheusmarchetti]

Great to see you have the theme to The Psychic in there. It´s one of the greatest themes in horror history, and so underrated. (so is the film btw)

[cryfab]

Oh, yes. The Psychic is awesome! Lucio Fulci is a fucking genius.

[timmyco3]

there are many themes from new movies but u didnt put anything like that in ur video...check out ring's theme, the grudge's, resident evil's.. basically, check out my horror movies soundtracks parts and u'll like it :)

[cryfab]

I prefer old movies, from the 70s and the 80s.

I put just the theme from Saw, 'cause I really like it... But in general I don't like themes from new horror movies.

[Horrortunes]

#9, #8, #6, #4 fucking awesome, hell, they all are, nice choice for #1, loving this

[BonkTheClown]

man i love dat fuckin Brain Damage ending theme, thanks for addin it

[RandallFaraday]

Woooooaaaaaaa !!!!

I would said is a damn good solid list !!

Really awesome and excellent pick it!!

BTW, do you have by any chance the complete ending theme of The Deadly Spawn (the one that is in the video) ?

[torulotus]

great selection no doubt!.

but mach better adding like Demons(1985),Nightmare city(1980)!!.

[donteandrashun]

11 should of been 1

[Conflict4922]

What about Night of the Demons? The opening song is zany as hell!

[cryfab]

You're right.

However, I forgot also:

"The Burning"

"Spookies"

"What have they one to your daughters?"

"The bird with the crystal plumage"

"Sleepless"

[Conflict4922]

Spookies! Now there's a movie thats hard to get a hold of...I've been trying for a while. 'The bird with the crystal plumage' is great early Argento. I love that Four Flies, Profondo rosso, Phenomena and some of the others he's produced like Demons!

[senfliebhaber]

good video,the best are the exorcist,saw and halloween :)

[verkenderkraftwerk2]

This is great, man. I love how it's so independent from everyone else's lists. I too, love all those themes, I'm personally obsessed with the music of Candyman from Philip Glass. I actually really like your list, ending it with some Goblin is great, no one else's list will probably ever come close to being similar to yours.

[sillyboybrett]

awesome! amazing! excellent! juicy! great choices. you should upload a torrent with all these songs... i would listen to it all day!

[loranthis]

Hello sir, could you kindly preach how can I find this version of Deadly Spawn theme, please? It seems to be nice.

[radioblueheart]

Excellent choices! I have never seen "Body Count" before but I really want to now!

[wenbilliams500]

Amazing choices but what about the theme from the 1986 horror film Spookies.

[cryfab]

Thank you!

I saw Spookies some years ago. That was weird... But I don't remember the theme...

[Joorum]

Great choices.

[misterbean95]

ottima classifica

hai classificato tutti i più bei film horror splatter mai realizzati solo che io avrei piazzato poltergeist all'8 posto almeno perchè è un bellissimo film

per il resto tutto perfetto

bravo

ciao

[Highlarry]

difatti lui non classifica i film, ma i TEMI musicali dei film. Ottima classifica. 5/5

[misterbean95]

a ecco perchè ora capisco

non ci ero arrivato perchè non mi funziona l'audio

beh allora la classifica delle musiche è bellissima

grazie per avermelo detto
