I remember this film primarily for ONE thing -- the creepy-as-fuck poster with that grinning vampire face hovering over the house. Freaked me out as a kid, but also fascinated me. Didn't see the film itself until much later, and was kinda bummed that it was more a dopey horror comedy than what that poster had promised years earlier.
I think I sampled this score, and - finding no evidence of the delicious darkness style I can tolerate in horror films, and more than its share of standard horror tropes - moved on to other things. Might be time for a reevaluation, though.
Funny to read the discussion from 2011 above, about the omission of songs. Personally, I tend to weed out songs from score albums unless they're part of the score's fabric otherwise, written by the film's composer etc. If they're just existing songs pasted in, I'd rather seek out the original albums instead.

Yes. The poster art was the most impressive part of the project and it promised way more than it delivered. I also enjoyed Roddy McDowell, but the score was leagues away from the delicious darkness style that you, and many others, enjoy.

Been listening to this. I'm not a fan of it, it's lacking interesting melodies. I didn't particularly like his Terminator scores either, besides the iconic theme.
Stealing this for Facebook. Thanks!

I missed out on this when it was released, and would jump on a rerelease. Although it is probably sacrilege to admit, I actually like Ramin Djawadi's score for the remake better than the original. The film is pretty good too. That said, I also like both the original film and its score.
