Music has always made a lasting impression in my life. I remember as a kid, in my pre-teen years, sitting in front of the television every Saturday afternoon to watch Monster Matinee or “mwanny muny” as I lovingly referred to it as. It was my weekly dose of fright!
I grew up on the classics such as Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Mummy! The original Universal Studio films made a lasting impression on my very impressionable mind. The Vincent Price “era” of The House of Wax, The Pit and the Pendulum and The Fall of the House of Usher are my go to classics every Halloween!
Probably the best music soundtrack which captures those amazing classics has been compiled on Themes From Horror Movies (1959 Edition) artfully performed by Dick Jacobs and His Orchestra. There are hundreds of amazing, mood-setting themes and scary scores to enhance your Halloween haunting, Here is a list of some of my favorites for spooking up great memories!
