Monster/Sci-Fi Movie Soundtracks

[Bogey]

Here are a few of the ones I have and was wonderin' what else you might suggest to add to the list:

Alien-Goldsmith
The Bride of Frankenstein-Waxman
Creature From The Black Lagoon-Salter
Dracula-Kronos Quartet (recent creation)
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken-Mizzy
The Best of Godzilla 1954-1975
Outer Limits-Frontiere

If there is a previous thread on this subject, a link would be most appreciated.  Thanks folks.

Wow! Where to begin?

First, go to Monstrous Movie Music and buy everything.

So, we just talkin' horror/monsters, maybe some sci-fi, if it's monstery enough (like Alien)?

You like Goldsmith? What about "Poltergeist" (I & II), or the "Omen" trilogy. Also "The Mephisto Waltz", "Magic", "The Other", "Twilight Zone: The Movie", "Gremlins" and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (not horror, but you can't live without that one!).

"King Kong" (Steiner), of course. (The Morgan/Stromberg rerecording on Marco Polo is very good.)

There have been many classic horror/Universal horror/Hammer horror  rerecords, on Marco Polo, Silva Screen and a few other lables.

I love the "Horror Rhapsody" album with the Universal horror suite and the "Horror Express" soundtrack on the flipside...that's a great two-sided coin that really delivers, for me.

I have heard that Best of Godzilla album mentioned, and that one is pretty darn good too.  Thing has everything on it, all my favorite tracks from the Godzilla films.

The Dawn of the Dead soundtrack is also a big favorite from the 70's...

*slaps forehead (hard) with hand* Yes, I have the Steiner Kong soundtrack....how I left it off I do not know.  Probably the best in the lot IMO.  Goldsmith's Star trek is top-shelf, and on my shelf as well.  The Klingon Battle track is outstanding.  I will have to look into the others you mentioned....now, to that site you posted.

Ain't it though.  Wish they would have made it into a series....kind of a Don Knotts as a Kolchak Nightstalker show.

I remember these folks now.  Looks like they have added a few things and maybe missing a compilation they once had....hard to say since I have not been to their site in a number of years....at least I believe it is the same folks.  glad to see they are still at it.

One of the BEST!

Here is the site if you would like to grab the Ghost and Mr. Chicken soundtrack:

THE CHANGELING is a fabulous soundtrack...if you can find it.


I third the vote for VIC MIZZY! (great guy, BTW)

All of their recordings are still available and highly recommended. THE BLOB is their first release that uses the original recordings. All the earlier CDs are beautifully reconstructed stereo recording of the scores (or cues).

I remember ordering my friend this one:



Never did hear if he enjoyed it.  Thought there was a similar looking one like the above, but I must be wrong.  I will have to check with him and see if I might "borrow" it for a while.    Have you ordered from them Mike?

Their 2nd CD (More Monstrous Movie Music) has a similar montage style cover.


I always order direct from them. More money for them, more chance they'll do another CD! They have audio samples from all their CDs on the website.

I'm really into Italian horror scores.  My iPod is filled with Goblin, Morricone, Frizzi, Cipriani, etc.

What Marricone scores do you have for this genre, Ray?

[raycastile]

I might be leaving something out, but scanning my Morricone playlist, I see music from:  The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Four Flies on Gray Velvet, The Cat O'Nine Tails, Danger: Diabolik, Lizard in a Woman's Skin, Black Belly of the Tarantula, Human Beasts, Exorcist II: The Heretic, The Thing, The Stendhal Syndrome.
