You can't beat the original Halloween theme, but I found the Season of the Witch music far more thematic. The tracks are more atmospheric and more interesting than the overall Halloween 1 and 2 scores. Also, Carpenter and Howarth had honed their craft and got more out of their keyboard presets by this stage. The EFNY score is very basic in comparison but no less fun for it.

What do you think of Carpenter's collaboration with the late Shirley Walker on the Escape From LA score? Like the movie, I hated it on first hearing but grew to like it over time along with the movie.
