Jerry Goldsmith, Twilight Zone - The Movie, Nightmare At 20,000 Feet

[melfrog29]

Seen and heard it all, but when I was a kid, up till now & beyond, this music will always scare the bejesus right out of me!! Those little Demond gremlin trolls were totally evil!

[uroboros33]

I'm ok listening to this until about 4:43, when i start going into a cold sweat remembering being a little kid and begging in my mind for him to not pull up that window cover!

[DaemonicNimrod]

Jerry Goldsmith and Krzysztof Penderecki will never be topped when it comes to inducing whimsical majestic frenetics or sheer outright spine-chilling horror through film scoring

It's so bizarre and ironic that the segment with a gremlin in it has music by Jerry Goldsmith who later did the soundtrack for that movie and it sounds just like Gremlins! But the guy who directed Gremlins is the one who did the It's a Good Life segment, how twisted is that? That's so weird, but I love this song! I would say it's way scarier then the Gremlins soundtrack.

i hear some Poltergeist in there too

I remember at a young age feeling my heart drop out of my ass watching this. Years later the music still gives me goosebumps.

@TheGrimGunny "heart drop out of my ass." Yep, that about captures the feeling of watching this for the first time as a young child.

This is one of the best original scores ever! I love how terrifying it is, even without the movie accompanying it. This particular score is the reason I wanted to learn to play violin.

@LeeClaxton no . . . its not time out.

Great movie, very underrated anthology of horror and fantasy stories. One of my faves since i was a kid.

[mitrooper]

@ 4:38...Two years later Goldsmith would use a similar theme and motif for the Gremlins soundtrack, very nice.

The only watchable part of Twilight Zone: The Movie also had the greatest music. Many thanks to Scoretracker for uploading this terrific soundtrack!

[TheAltair4]

I like how this music matches perfectly with Lithgow's frenzied, manic performance in the film. Jerry Goldsmith was a true musical genius and is greatly missed.

The entire Twilight Zone: The Movie soundtrack was just released by Film Score Monthly. Only 3000 copies, go grab one quick.

[feedbackl00p]

I just managed to obtain a copy myself from screenarchives dot c o m.

This soundtrack is beyond awesome, and was well worth the cost in shipping all the way to England for me. :)

[Turtlegoyim]

O man I used to own this soundtrack - thank you so much! Forgot I'd ever heard it. What a find.

[ZipBalloon]

That great scratchy vilolin . . . which happens to also be a small nod (tho at the time we didnt know) to the "Gremlin Rag" Goldsmith would compose a year later for Joe Dante (who directed the segment "its a good life")

[TR0LL2R0CKS]

very true, and very well observed =)
