I can't really think of an occasion where it isn't appropriate to play Goblin and I finally found someone who agrees with me.

Check out one person's video project after the jump, which is titled 'Take a Bath...Giallo Style.' The video features the music from Dario Argento's Tenebre, which was composed by Goblin. The Italian prog rock band has contributed to some of the finest soundtracks in Italian horror and well . . .horror, period. Though the video description claims it's unfinished, it's still cleverly done and gialloriffic with all the appropriate elements. I know exactly what music I'll be playing when I get sudsy later on tonight. Also of note is another video from the same person that is a party, shot giallo style, featuring the awesome, non-giallo sounds of The Magnetic Fields.

Now, where's my Ennio Morricone, spaghetti dinner video?

What Are the Creepiest Movie Soundtracks?

"Listen to this!" A friend pressed the ringer on his BlackBerry, and it played the theme to The Omen, "Ave Satani" by Jerry Goldsmith, which he'd assigned to a particularly heinous client of his. Another friend had, for a time, assigned a relative the unforgettable score from Halloween as composed by writer/director John Carpenter himself. And I'm sure somewhere there is someone with the theme from The Exorcist, which was written by Mike Oldfield.

Ringtones aside, there's no denying that a deft soundtrack or score can ratchet up the tension in any movie, especially one that uses droning noises and other disturbing, almost subliminal effects that can slip past the viewer and straight into our brain. Some of my favorite spooky soundtracks sure to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end include the above, naturally, but there are a few that need some love as well.
