Audiodrome #21: Mayhem, Murder & Morricone - Part I
![]() |
"Death Serenades Me" * |
While particularly renowned for his scores for Sergio Leone-directed Spaghetti Westerns, such as Once Upon a Time in the West and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Morricone has written film music for almost every conceivable genre. Though they are not as renowned as some of his other scores, his soundtracks for various horror films, psychological thrillers and Italian gialli are amongst some of the most dazzling, unusual and nerve shredding scores ever composed.
Head over to Paracinema to check out the first in a two part series in which I examine some of Ennio Morricone's musical contributions to the darker side of cinema...

Incidentally, his score on The Thing is one of my all-time favorites, and it never comes off my MP3 player.
