313b Horror Themes

Just in time for Halloween, a set of recognizable theme songs from great Horror films.  Many of these should be recognizable to even a casual horror fan.  Others are a great deep dive into these composers vast catalogs.  Great stuff, and you can be assured this and the previous mix I posted will be playing at our house this year.

313a Horror Ambient

Horror, Giallo, spooky film scores and some tracks pulled from a mix that sounds like it could've been a horror film score from the always incredible Dream Weapons.  Some of these were pulled from the superb mixes at Nate Ashley's site.  The rest I have spent countless hours tracking down the soundtracks and film scores because I just love this style so much.   Due to the length, and how much material I had to sort through, this mix took me the longest to put together.  Time well spent in my opinion.

The Unseen, The Heartwood Institute and Catharsis are not from soundtracks but sound like they should be (denoted by *).  The First Bruno Nicolai track on here was listed as part of the "Virgin Among the Living Dead" soundtrack which I have and can confirm this is not on my copy, though it definitely sounds like the right composer.  The Francois de Roubaix "Beach Burial" I cannot confirm which film its from, sounds so familiar but I can't nail it down.  

I have not seen all of these films, but have enjoyed more than half.  The rest I found because of the composer or were included in aforementioned mixes.

Sit back and enjoy this near 2 hour mix of the greatest sounds from the horror genre.  The Spotify mix has some of these tracks and some from the next post, because not all of this is available on that platform.
