Halloween is here and what better way to decorate your house party than listening to Cesar and Greg's run down of their top horror film scores. From axe-wielding drone metal to retro-fuelled synth-wave, from over-the-top Italian prog rock to grandiose religious chants, this is a mix of terrifying sounds you might not want to listen to with the lights out.

“I wanted the score to haunt you, almost uncomfortably close, scratching at your skin.” - Mica Levi
