Okay, so, I'm watching The Dunwich Horror - the one from the 70's, with Dean Stockwell. It is...kinda terrible and definitely one of those movies where having actually read the original story puts one at a disadvantage, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. Because I like terrible things.

However. The music that plays over the opening credits. I know that I have heard that piece of music before, probably in some other movie, but I can't place it for the life of me. And bits of it keep being played as background music and it keeps bothering me. So, I know this is a hell of a long shot as there is no real reason to suspect that any of you have watched both this movie and whatever the hell other movie it was that I heard that music in but...have you?

It's kinda driving me crazy.

according to IMDB, the composer was Les Baxter. if that doesn't ring any bells, i can get the cue sheets from one of the US societies. or we might even have it in our database already. just let me know.

he wrote a heap, maybe 'similar' to another soundtrack if not the same?? I'm a bit hopeless with music but checked out the film reference & it led me here ;)
Take care
