5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent John Carpenter soundtrack., September 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In The Mouth Of Madness: Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)

This soundtrack is different than JC's older soundtracks as it's more of a haunted house type music then his trademark synthesizer pulse style.Very long and it contains alot of music that you barely notice in the movie (because it's set low in the movie).My fav tracks include the catchy "The Book Comes Back",and the very chilling "Just a Bedtime Story".

4.0 out of 5 stars Carpenter returns to his creepy roots., October 29, 2001

Once the listener gets past the peppy movie titled opening track, Carpenter's score for his return to hard edged horror settles down to the creepy basics. The entire album constantly moves back and forth between mood music and unsettling sound design, both working well in the raising gooseflesh department. Highly recommended for Halloween parties or as background ambience when reading a scary story.

A very long soundtrack that refreshingly is in the order of the movie scenes.More of a haunted house soundtrack than the usual pulsating synthesizer music that's the JC norm.My favorite tracks are "The Book Comes Back" a funky and eerie track,and the closer "Just a Bedtime Story" which IMHO is the most chilling JC composed track ever.
