I love The Stand’s score 😍

Matt Elliott

So hard to pick. here's my top 3. The Shining, Shawshank and Dead Zone.

Bryant Burnette

I voted for The Shining, but with a major caveat: very little of the music in the movie was actually written for it. Most of what you hear is repurposed stuff by Ligeti, etc.

Sammy

the intro score to the dead zone is unmatched

Matteo Greco

Christine. I also think it's Carpenter's best score. There's more there than Halloween, and what's there is just as good as the few themes in Halloween.

Lewis Shaw

This is really tough!

Joanna

I think The Shining and Shawshank probably have stronger scores, but I had to go with It because the instrumental score during the circle/swear scene at the end gets me EVERY TIME

Bryant Burnette

Going by that standard, then, it's definitely The Shining. My #2 would probably be Creepshow. There are a fair number of strong King-movie scores, though; that's a deeper bench than it might seem.

When I was a kid I would walk laps around the recess yard listening to Newman's scores for Shawshank and The Green Mile on a discman (you can imagine how popular and attractive to girls this made me). Surprised by the lack of love towards the Green Mile score, I might even prefer it to Shawshank's. Such a spectrum of emotion to it. Refresh yourselves!

Er, guys, you appear to have Maximum Overdrive from this list?? ;-)

Brett Douglas

'Silver Bullet' !!! Joyride, baby!

Brett Douglas

Oh, duh...and Richard Bellis' score for the IT miniseries.
