Top 10 Horror Movies with the Best Theme Music
AlexandrThe Top Ten

This is the classic one
Well, I was looking for horror theme songs, but this is okay. I like this as my number 2, and since NOES wasn't on this, I couldn't vote for that. So, yeah. You happy, Mikey? Maybe Freddy will get you in YOUR dreams.
If you don't like Halloween, you don't like movies! Unpredictable, which is always a good thing, and this one movie you can never fall asleep after. Michael Myers will find you when you don't vote for him.
And trust me,... It won't be pretty.
Unique theme from classic horror movie - Alexandr


GAME OVER! - Cookiecutter26
Saw is far the best horror movie theme - DENISAE
This is without a doubt my favourite movie theme of all time full stop. It's clever, intimidating, dramatic, classical yet modern and frightening yet beautiful.

I know some people may not have seen Jaws. But when you do, you will instantly recognise the theme song. As it has been used in many films, and T.V. shows. Although this was the first thing it was in. - IronSabbathPriest
Seriosly, ghostbusters? Scream? Saw? Jaws has THE greatest horror movie theme ever.

John Carpenter's The Fog was great horror movie with great theme - Alexandr

Probably the creepiest theme I've heard. And that's why I love it
Year, I do love this one. CLASSIC

Now tell me a pedophile psycho-path coming into your dreams meaning to kill you both in your dream and in real life wouldn't creep you out. Because I had a dream... And, well... I'd rather not say the rest...

so awesome, what teenager wouldn't want a serial killer after them once theyve seen this movie.
Such a smart movie. Even teenagers deserve a psycho killer. - aeromaxx777

THe SoNg Of SAdaKO

The circus music is awesome to me



Great song. Mad World was played on one epoisode of Criminal Minds too.



The cover of "Summer Breeze" by Type O-Negative is really chilling. Surprised it's not on here.
