Is that a general rule? I've always used Internet Explorer by default. Is this not a wise move (I got the mix to download no problems though) . . . ?

IE is quite an old fashioned browser, the newest version is better but Chrome and Firefox are based on more modern programming. I prefer Chrome because it 'feels' lighter than Firefox which can chug along at some points. It's all personal preference though at the end of the day.

Default Horror Film Scores

Not a thread about what's your favorite score, but one about the first time you ever remember being aware of a horror film's score as something other than just background music. For me it was the American re-edit of Gojira. I saw it way back on tv in the mid 70s and remember being truly disturbed by numerous pieces in the film, most notably that discordant piano that was used during the scene in which the oxygen destroyer was demonstrated on this fish in Serizawa's lab. Also the music set to the school children's prayer for peace as well.

The next instance I remember of again being aware of score was Halloween, then Psycho.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Yes, one that particularly stuck with me as a kid was Krzysztof Komeda's hauntingly beautiful score to Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers. I used to rewind and watch those credits over and over again.

It remains one of my favourite credit sequences and still sends chills up my spine.

Being an 80's child I'd have to say that Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street really stick out in my mind as soundtracks that were a character in the film and really stuck in your head adding to suspense, the horror, the shocks!

As a grown up, the music now makes or breaks a horror film for me, and I'll often base my appreciation of a film on a number of factors but the score being a very important one.

Have you seen the giallo, Death Laid an Egg. That's a soundtrack that tested my patience to say the least, although I'm intrigued to see the film again as it's so unusual.

I've never seen it although it does have quite a bit of love on this forum, it's pretty hard to come by isn't it?
