Question How important is the music in Horror Films?

As I've mentioned elsewhere, for my final assignment in my Music Technology course I have to conduct a study about a specialist subject of my choice involving music. I've chosen to do mine about the importance and relevance that music has in horror films.
So, what are your thoughts on this subject?
Would John Carpenters Halloween have worked without his excellent score?
Do films like the The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity prove you don't need music to create a suspenseful atmosphere?
I've already started collecting my research resources and would like to include the opinions of fans like myself, preferably from both sides of the argument so any help with this will be most appreciated.
I will be using screenshots of this thread as part of my final piece of work so if anyone would prefer not to be included then please still post your comments and I will ensure that your name is blanked out of the pics, thanks in advance Rik
