This is my all time favorite horror movie soundtrack. Never before have I heard a soundtrack that basically carries a movie so far as this one did in Suspiria. The movie was a haunting and visually stunning piece of work, but I have to admit that the soundtrack gave it the boost over the top to make it a true and LEGITIMATE classic.

I often wonder how modern horror, if that's what you want to call predictable stories with a bunch of Abercrombie and Fitch models getting hacked up (as they very well deserve) by a fellow loser classmate, can even be considered horror at all. All they really are is bunch of high priced cd commercials for modern "rock" bands.

What ever happened to the good old fashioned scary horror soundtrack? Exorcist's music was good as well as Dust Devil, Halloween, Santa Sangre, Creepshow, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc...

Anyway back to Suspiria. This, as I said, is a stunning achievement where horror soundtracks are concerned. Never before have I heard such a dark and sinister sound for a movie and I have collected quite a few obscure horror soundtracks. I was very happy that this became quite available. I recommend it HIGHLY for all occasions and especially Halloween!

Enjoy!

The third album by Italian soundtrack band Goblin is a sinister treat for all lovers of horror film music. The main title theme is a child-like lullaby set adrift in a sea of hissing voices and crashing rhythms. It perfectly captures the versatility of the Goblin sound. "The Sighs" is an eerie evocation of brooding dread that builds in intensity unil it becomes almost unbearable. Other tracks such as "Witch" and "Markos" continue the descent into sonic doom before breaking into the mellow piano and synthesizer-heavy sounds of "Black Forest." The funky "Blind Concert" and the playful "Death Valzer" round out the disc. Note: on some releases, the tracks "Aquaman" and "Dr. Frankenstein" are included. These are not a part of the "Suspiria" soundtrack. They are, in fact, from the earlier Goblin album "Roller." This album is a classic!! For tuneful terror at its best, look no further than this creepy work from the boys from Italy!!

After the success of the funky soundtrack from Dario Argento's DEEP RED, The Goblin's thought up this simple, scarey and fabulas soundtrack for SUSPIRIA. Just hearing that title song makes me quiver in fact, I think that without it soundtrack, SUSPIRIA won't be scarey at all (besides the scene with the witch at the end). I reccomend this soundtrack to any fan of gothic music.

I first heard Goblin while watching the movie Suspiria -- my friends and I could not believe the crazy soundtrack we were hearing. It was full of screams and bangs. We remembered it for years after we had forgot the plot of the movie. I spent many years looking for these albums and when they were finally released (as imports) I bought all of them and all of Goblin's music ROCKS! It is an eclectic mix of groovy rock, techno, industrial, and well, Goblin. You will never find anything else like this anywhere. The closest I can think of is Revolution 9, by the Beatles.
