Best Horror Movie & Sci-Fi Film Themes Throughout The Decades !

I am a perennial insomniac and some nights are worse than others. Whenever I can't sleep, I create a challenge in my mind. I count tunes instead of sheep...

Tonight's challenge was to list at least five theme songs from the sci-fi horror film genre and try to cover all the decades starting with the fifties. If I do not succeed, it might be because I fell asleep while composing this blog entry, and my wife kindly hit the "Publish" button for me...

The Fifties

Best horror films ever made on a low budget, but it did not matter: I still covered my eyes in the back of my dad's Oldsmobile at the drive-in and could never get to sleep that night ( an early premonition of my sleep problems ? )

"The Blob" - 1958 opening tune

"War Of The Worlds" -Classic Film Theme - 1953

The Sixties

The "Go-Go" Years were better produced and showed much improvement in the use of special effects :)

"2001: A Space Odyssey"

1968 Opening Theme ("Also Sprach Zarathustra")

The Seventies

Star Wars Theme Song By John Williams - 1977

The Eighties

E.T. ( The Extra-terrestrial ) Theme Song By (again) John Williams - 1982

Sorry, I'm starting to get really sleepy ...

The Nineties

Jurassic Park theme song - John Williams ( again ?? ) - 1993

I can hardly keep my eyes open ! ...




GOODNIGHT, much too sleepy to go on, and my apologies to all "The Matrix" and "Star Trek" etc.,fans, zzzzzz...
