I'm pressed for time right now, but I just HAVE to comment on that horror film scores / soundtracks item: they had a good list (especially Near Dark's "Mae's Theme" - my personal favorite on their list - and "Willow's Song"). But they should have extended their list. I honestly can't believe they forgot Carlo Savina & Edda Dell' Orso's "To Mirna" from Bava's Lisa and the Devil. I also love Carter Burwell's "Scream of Love" from Psycho III, as well as "Warm As a Cry for Help." And... yeah, I'll say it: "Angela's Theme" from Sleepaway Camp has always haunted me. The lyrics are actually pretty sad and romantic. And lastly, no horns (if I'm not mistaken) but what about Morricone's "Come Un Madrigale" from Four Flies on Grey Velvet? Oh, and, Donaggio's theme for Piranha is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. Oh, and "Jennifer's Friends" from Phenomena (I think this is my favorite horror theme of all-time).
