A Clockwork Orange's rape scene used "Singing In The Rain", not "In Dreams".

Right, accidentally left that out, thanks Fnarf. Fixed now.

ditto FNARF's comment.

it should be noted that the clockwork orange rape scene took the longest to shoot (three or four days) of the entire film and was largely improvised.

kubrick got the rights to singin' in the rain for a ridiculously low sum (something like $10k, which is unheard of today).

The goblins soundtrack for George Romeros 'Dawn of the dead' and those Agento films like 'Susperia' those synthesizers and howling ghosts effects freak me out

C Average playing a live soundtrack to F.W. Murnau's silent film classic "Nosferatu" on Halloween at the EMP a couple years ago was quite epic and very EVIL.

Ditto to #5. Suspiria is a bad movie, but the soundtrack is creepy as fuck.

Who could ever forget the soundtrack to the original 'Omen'? Choruses in Latin, for what have to be the freakiest church hymnals ever recorded.

Um, Old Testament church hymnals to be more specific.

That excerpt of " East Hastings" by GSYBE was awesome and made 28 Days Later so good. Too bad they couldn't include it on released soundtrack lp. i mean cd.
The goblins soundtack stuff is wonderful in a creepy prog rock kinda way.

Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai can get hairy and heavy as well.

Too many good soundtracks to choose from!
