It rarely survives a bad score, because in horror the music reaches the part of you that reason cannot argue with — the animal listening for the wrong sound in the dark. These ten scores do the actual work of frightening you, sometimes with a full orchestra, sometimes with a synthesiser bought on a shoestring, once with almost nothing at all. For the mechanics of why they land, see <a href="https://vo.rs/screen/how-a-horror-score-rewires-the-audience/">how a horror score rewires the audience</a>; what follows is the listening list, arranged so you can hear the genre teaching itself across sixty years.</p>Tue, 09 Jul 2024 14:00:00 +0000
