The Los Angeles-based Vitamin String Quartet has become famous over the past two decades for their all-strings covers of music from all aspects of popular culture. The group has paid tribute to rock groups like the Rolling Stones, to scores from movies like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, and, more recently, to the anime classics of Studio Ghibli. But VSQ’s next musical homage is a special treat for all the horror hounds out there.
This amazing playlist serves to remind us that often enough, the one thing that makes a horror movie a classic and sets it apart from the rest is its score. After all, what are Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Vorhees without their famous themes? Or The Exorcist without its use of the song “Tubular Bells?” The horror movies that stand the test of time almost always have a instantly recognizable music that goes with them, and these new versions celebrate the best of the best.Which horror movie theme music is your favorite, or creeps you out the most? Be sure to let us know down below in the comments.
