The Top Twelve all Time Great Horror Themes Lets review the past eleven days, shall we? At Number 12: Rain forever, the theme from The Crow 11.The main title from Hellraiser 10. The Gonk from George A. Romeros Dawn of the Dead 9. Jerry Goldsmiths main title theme from The Omen. 8. Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells, used to great renown as the theme from The Exorcist. 7. Charles Bernsteins haunting and memorable melody from A Nightmare on Elm Street. 6. Bernard Hermanns legendary string heavy murder theme from Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho. 5. Hello Zepp, Charlie Clousers intense, instantly recognizable musical motif which signals the revelation of a twist in the Saw films. 4. Ray Parker Jr.s catchy, enduring and somewhat illegal pop culture classic Ghostbusters. 3.Harry Manfredinis eerie and unforgettable theme -including the Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma sound - from Friday the 13th. 2. John Carpenters legendarily haunting and sinister piano driven theme to Halloween. And finally.... D.S.Ullerys Ghastly Page of Horrors pick for the number one, all time greatest horror movie theme is.......... 1. JAWS. It doesnt matter who you are or where you live. It doesnt matter if youre young or old, rich or poor. it doesnt even matter if youre a horror movie fan. If you were born after 1975, at some point you have either heard this theme, a parody of this theme or an homage to this theme. Every industrialized country in the world where cinema and media exist has at least one citizen who is familiar with the theme to Jaws. When John Williams created this simple , predatory theme for Steven Spielbergs masterful adaptation of the late Peter Benchleys novel, he set a new standard in what motion picture music could do. No other theme is as instantly recognized, accepted or beloved as this one the world over. Nothing comes close. Not only is this the greatest horror movie theme ever written , it may in fact be the most recognized piece of film music in history, regardless of genre. Thank you to everyone who followed this countdown for the past twelve days. You are awesome!
