The Horned King (score) - The Black Cauldron OST

[pacman5698]

Hail the Horned King! Long live evil!

[ryanartist88]

ah lol on wonder iv just seen who composed it Elmer Bernstein lol its the same guy who did compose the the scores for ghostbusters he also composed the famous theme for The Magnificent Seven.

[ryanartist88]

the dark bit at the start is ever ghostbustersy sounding

[godkingzulu]

This along with the score he did for Heavy Metal is both one of the most under appreciated--and brilliant of his scores...Like the little jazz bits he did for Creeper, almost like he felt that H.K's whipping boy had no business being in the movie, but made the most of it and in turn made Creeper far more memorable than he deserved to be.

I don't know why but it's aways these darker gothic disney movies like this, beauty and the beast and nightmare before christmas that stay with me more than cinderella and sleeping beauty and the like.

I like the music they have for the Horned King's henchman, Creeper at around 0:33. It sounds like a drunken fanfare played on the clarinet or something.

[Ironcabbit]

Elmer Bernstein, huh? Guess that's why the Horned King's theme sounds like Gozer the Gozarian's theme...

The Horned King was awesome. He's definately one of my favorite Disney villians.

[JasmineStarcatcher]

@Videot01 He most certainly is! Though it's a shame he had to be removed from the front cover of the box cause he was too scary - he was one of the reasons I wanted this movie XD

i havent seen this in ages, i have the VHS but i havent watched it in a long long long long time.....

[GhostPlanetFilms]

@Heylilvelvet Well, they released the 25 Anniversary Edition DVD. Go buy it someday.

[xXxMindless]

i watched this for the first time when i was 6. Im 18 now and i still feel like running behind the wardrobe to hide when i hear this music : D

[majoblue2]

then they should had renamed the horned king/ princess Eilonwy theme then

greetings nice soundtrack

[KrakenGuard]

Hmm.. Creepy at the beginning, but somewhat light-hearted at the end.. Very strange. Is there something about the Horned King that we dont know about? :|

[Yahoosoundtracks]

@KrakenGuard You're right xD I think the music around 1:45 is when Eilonwy first appears.

[KrakenGuard]

@Yahoosoundtracks Yup. It's very strange though! It goes from creepy sounding to pretty-ing it up at that point, it makes it seem Out of Character! :P Ah well, it's cool to listen to the music from the movies. Thanks again for uploading them :)
