Favorite horror soundtrack would have to be "Frozen".
I get a genuine feeling of dread every time I hear "Let it Go".

Honestly, all the throwbacks to old horror soundtracks in American Horror Story are particularly great. I think they've used some themes from Halloween, from Dracula.. their selection makes for a really fun mix.

My favorites are Dracula and The Omen, off the top of my head. I could list more, but there's nothing like those two! And the theme to Pet Semetary (the movie) is nice and creepy.

I tend toward the oldies ... Waxman's "The Bride of Frankenstein", Goldsmith's "The Omen", Tiomkin's "The Thing From Another World".

"Littenies of satan" by Deomanda Galles it's not a movie sound track that i know of but her sterio screaming and the chanting will get to about anybody after extended periods, like . maybe 6 seconds!
I tried using this in my "House", too upsetting ,too scary for the style of entertainment i am doing here. (Consumer-friendly)

I really like Antoni Maiovvi & Umberto's "Hook & Pull Gang," which is a new re-score to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'm also always playing the score to "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," as well as other Carpenter scores.

Check out the soundtracks to "The Village" and "Sleepy Hollow". Both are great background tracks to have playing. I even purchased one with Vincent Price reading Edgar Allen Poe. Crazy eerie!

I don't see how anyone could like her music. Downright annoying. But, to each their own.

My favorites have always been the soundtrack albums from Carpenter's "Halloween," King and Romero's "Creepshow," and that marvelous soundtrack from "The Lost Boys." I have all three on vinyl.
