But for someone like Thor..to bark about expanded scores..when in the past here..complains about expanded scores..and why he doesn’t buy or listen..is in expanded score threads.
While that is true - and Lukas Kendall himself directly told Thor to knock it off or he'd be banned - you're not going to win anyone, anywhere with the wild punches you're swinging.
Actually, this it the thread about John Williams' thoughts on DRACULA and how movie genres blur. The expanded Dracula score thread is just about next door, not far away down the hall. Glad I could help.
M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!!
A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!
M: Oh! Oh I see!
A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.
Hey Lehah... you wanna buy a "Black Knight" figure that I have? Mint in the box! 12 inches tall, with detachable limbs!

The LSoH magazine issue on Badham's Dracula that Bagby quoted from is first rate in every way. I've always loved the movie, and delighted with the stories behind it.
It'll be fun to flip through soon with the newly released score expansion!

Thanks, Bagby. That was a very interesting read, and does explain somewhat why this score in particular seems to have been one he enjoyed working on.

great original question and zomg that interview excerpt!
williams touches on this a bit in the interview, but obviously he was attracted to the film's gothic romance and likely influenced by musical antecedents from horror films of the 30s and 40s (assuming 'dracula', 'bride of frankenstein', maybe 'the wolfman', etc.) -- melodic, minor mode, diminished, grand, sweeping, occasionally dissonant. though he mentions bernard herrmann as an inspiration, from 'psycho' on the horror/suspense genre kinda went towards more extreme dissonant, atonal, and/or avant garde electronic especially in the 70s, save for a few prime examples (e.g. goldsmith's 'omen', except that's pretty darn dissonant.)
is it possible that williams was wanting to do for 'dracula' what he did for 'star wars'--bring the classical romantic idiom back to a genre that had lost the life blood (!) of full orchestral invention? and if so, was it a success? i struggle to find subsequent examples except perhaps kilar's work on 'bram stoker's dracula', and maybe some of elfman's work on 'dark shadows' or 'the wolfman', though the latter two seem a little more in the pastiche vein.
i'm hoping those of you with more film music knowledge than mine (most of you?) have some thoughts to williams's contribution to the evolution/devolution of music for the horror genre.

Sometimes enjoy eating the hot dog and ignore how it's made.

Doesn't Ford A. Thaxton say the same thing?
Doesn't mean its wrong. Sometimes you guys overanalyze so much you lose sight of why you love this stuff in the first place.

Put it on a sign above the door.
