Also, Frank DeVol's screen credit was sometimes presented simply as "DeVol."
More often than not, I think. And Nathan Van Cleave would often be credited simply as "Van Cleave" I think.
Composer Fil Eisler went by "iZLER" for many years...really didn't make one expect the fine orchestral scoring he was capable of, to be honest: http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8229/.f

Watched a 1970s TV movie where the soundtrack credit was in the end titles: MacLeod and Prigmore.
Figured it was a production library, or maybe a duo, but turned out to be actor Murray MacLeod. He also used the composer alias "The Orphanage" which I saw in another 1970s TV movie recently. Sort of looks like Robert Walker Jr. Acted mostly in TV in the 1960-70s.

It's not an alias but Angela Morley was born Wally Stott.

This board is supposed to be a Goldsmith shrine! Shame on you for not mentioning J. Michael Hennagin, or was that just an urban legend? I think he took the name from his brother-in-law at the time or something.
Not an urban legend, and he didn't "take the name". He simply gave his brother-in-law J. Michael Hennagin, also a composer (and trying to get a start in Hollywood at the time) initial credit for his Black Saddle theme, because he was basically cheating on his exclusive CBS contract with another studio (as a favor for a producer friend) and would have gotten in trouble if he took credit for the theme he wrote. So why not help out a relative in the process?
I'm virtually certain this was a one time thing, but it created confusion several years later when J. Michael Hennagin *actually* contributed some music to a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode, making some people speculate that it was Goldsmith himself writing that music in addition to his "Jonah and the Whale" score, under a pseudonym for some reason. But it wasn't. Goldsmith never wrote under a pseudonym to my knowledge; he only (initially) gave credit for this one TV show theme to a (real life) different person.

Here's an example of Hennagin's concert work (I rather like it!):

P.S. It's also worth pointing out that the Black Saddle series itself has no on screen composer credit for the theme (or orchestral music at all, on the episodes I sampled). So Hennagin's credit must've merely been on the written music itself (the "cue sheet" presumably).

"Mullendore", too.
I recall reading that 'Von Dexter' [who scored 4 movies for William Castle] was also a false name, but, since we don't know what his actual birth name is, we continue to refer to him as Von Dexter (... and with no known first name, either).

Birth Name: LaVon Hawley Urbanski

Assuming you can trust contributor Jim Marshall who added info for other composers on imdb.
This is interesting. I didn't see that birth name in the mini-bio on the 1st page ... but it's listed seperately on that detail page.
He truncated the "La" off his 1st name to yield "Von".
