And unless you can find a nifty way around it, à la “found-footage” freak-outs like The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity, the right soundtrack — be it an original score or the right, spine-tingling tunes at the right moment or a combination of both — is equally indispensable. .”), but I also have a friend who gets legitimately creeped out if she’s within earshot of you brushing your teeth. Halloween (1978)With the original Halloween, John Carpenter could lay claim to not only directing the prototypical American slasher film, but also to penning the prototypical American slasher-film soundtrack. Carpenter remains a master horror composer, as evidenced by the works collected on the recent Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 set. The Thing (1982)Can it be mere coincidence that a John Carpenter film about an insidious alien life form capable of replicating the humans who’ve thawed it free from the Antarctic ice inspired soundtrack god Ennio Morricone to turn in his own more-Carpenter-than-Carpenter soundtrack?
