Aside from being a horror movie fan (understatement), I am obsessed with music. I have said in my Top Ten Horror Films that film score is something that really influences me, as it can make or break the movie easily. Along with a thematic score, I also take into consideration the songs used in the movies. Are they necessary, or does it feel like they are trying too hard? Does it make the movie badass, or just….meh. Below I have compiled my top 5. Along with the movie, I’ve also added my favorite song for your listening pleasure! Enjoy.
