Suspiria - Director: Dario Argento, Soundtrack: Goblin
Even though it’s really obvious, you can’t have a list like this and leave that out. It would be a crime to leave it out. This score is a tour de force. I don’t think Goblin ever bettered this and I don’t think Argento ever bettered this and it’s a perfect marriage. If you took that score away from that film and put other music in, it wouldn’t be as terrifying as it is. I was talking to Josh Saco [Cigarette Burns Cinema, occasional Quietus film writer] about this and he said, you could put the Suspiria score on to any other film and it would make it a better film and he hit the nail on the head. Argento’s imagery combined with those wailing, screaming and guttural noises. I don’t think anyone else has matched music and visuals together as well as this.
