I thought it was a fun list, definitely wasted some good minutes reading and enjoying it.

I am certainly glad nobody tasks me with putting a cap (even of 100) on anything I love.

Guys, there's a reason that so many recent releases from DW, OWS, WW etc are on this list… because they've been releasing some of the best soundtracks!

Also I agree with Spencer on the Halloween 1/Halloween 3 overall listen… but I will say that the original Halloween theme itself has got to be one of the best movie themes of ANY genre.

I really liked the Gino Marinuzzi Jr. "Planet of Vampires".

I like that the bootleg LP for BURIAL GROUND is mentioned. That is such an awesome release!

The list is heavily biased towards synth based movie scores. (And 90% recent releases)
Not including Jaws (One of the most famous horror soundtracks of all time, and one of a handful of themes most people actually know), Bride of Frankenstein, the Mummy and countless of other fantastic, original ,highly influential orchestral works while listing dozens of obscure, often derivative Italian horror scores is just silly.

Putting the score to ANY Italian zombie movie score above Bernard Herrmann's iconic Psycho (that other horror theme even regular folks know) is pure blasphemy.

Seriously, I love to watch a Steven Seagal movie every now and then, and I don't care much for classic movies, but if I had to make A list of greatest movies ever I wouldn't think of putting "Under siege" above Citizen Kane , no matter how much I enjoy the former and dislike the latter personally.
