This week a list of horror movies with a score by Il Maestro Morricone.
According to http://www.chimai.com (http://www.chimai.com/index.cfm?module=FMG&mode=CAT) there are only 10 scores classified under the moniker Thriller/Fantasy-Horror (Thrillers with scenes of horror).
However, doing my own search I come across a title like Amanti d’oltro tomba from 1965. IMDB classifies this as horror, but chimai.com places it under Sci-Fi/Mystery. Same goes for Holocaust 2000. Also Le Foto proibite di una signora per bene I classify as a giallo, but chimai.com as Suspense. And The Island (1980) surely isn’t what we would consider horror, is it?
So I’m mixing some chimai.com genre categories to create the list below of which I (and IMDB) use Horror as a the main classification (and I am omitting giallo scores – that’s for another list).
Any ideas and additions are more than welcome.
With all the above in mind I only count 11 horror scores.
