Music is insanely important to horror films! Crappy or out of place music will totally change what's happening on screen.
I don't think that something like Suspiria would be scary if it wasn't for the legendary music score which is truly terrifying. Imagery is one thing but you need the sound too.
If I was a musician, making cues for horror/genre films would be my dream job. People from 'bands' are all at it these days, look at Clint Mansell, Nick Cave even Danny Elfman started in a new wave band!
