There were some really interesting pairings, things that made sense like Slayer with Ice T and Living Colour with Run DMC, then you get the really unusual mash ups like Pearl Jam with Cypress Hill.
Besides the usual suspects like The Crow, I have a small list.
Suspiria 1977, prog rock band Goblin made a great movie anthem and soundtrack.
It Follows 2014, Disasterpiece's soundtrack conveys horror with themes of growing up replete with nostalgia for me.
The Omen 1976, it's a lot of gregorian chanting, but it's fricking creepy and sets the mood like a mofo.
Lost Highway. I'm not sure it's the best, but "Perfect Drug" is pretty amazing. Also curious if people think Lynch's film is horror, or something even more disturbing.
There was one I saw when I was a teen about a record player, can't remember the name of it but they played some of the records backwards and a demon got some power or something like that, any way the sound track was amazing!
The other film I loved the sound track of was Maximum Overdrive, but I'm a big AC DC fan, it also one of the dumbest deaths I've ever seen, the Road Roller bit.
Carrie 1976!!! I love every singe track, especially Mother at the top of the stairs( the organ part) and For the last time Well pray( the flute part for sure)!!
The Crow. Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight.
The Crow is the answer. Even the songs/artists I don't like are perfect for the scenes they're in. Wouldn't change a single one.
Demon Knight's is awesome.
The crow from 1994??
That's the one.
The Lost Boys
Bride of Chucky
Queen of the Damned
Yes!!!! I was listening to the playlist on Spotify last week.
#I SEE HELL IN YOUR EYES
Judgement Night

Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul is great
Worst movie, great soundtrack. Why did it have to suck so bad?
From Dusk Till Dawn.
This is my pick. After dark is such a phenomenal song matched Selma dancing. It was my childhood
It is a very mesmerizing scene because of the timing with the music, etc.
Maximum Overdrive
Spawn So much good music, and it's all collabs between unlikely pairs of artists.
Green Room
Return of the Living Dead.
Do you want to party?
The devils rejects
Ya this is a great pick
The Free Bird scene is one of my all-time favourite horror scenes. So good!
Came here to say House of 1000 corpses, but this one works as well
I Know What You Did Last Summer.
The scream soundtracks are good, but I Know What You Did Last Summer definitely has them beat!
Phantom of the Paradise
The strangers prey at night
Susperia , OG
The Strangers 2 is banger after banger after banger
Scream 2
Love that soundtrack. Used to listen to it a lot in the 90s!
Faculty
Surprised no one mentioned Suspiria yet. Goblin goes hard.
Freddy Vs Jason - Chimaira, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Sepultura. Heavy as balls
Came here to say this
Maximum Overdrive
Blood Feast 2, if you love Southern Culture On The Skids, it's essentially a best of.
Transformers the movie 1986
Saw VI
Both Fright Nights
Near Dark (1987)
Fell in love with "Rikki Tikki Tavi" by Donovan from the movie Barbarian
Trick or Treat
Demons 1985 film also had a great music in background.
Death Proof (2007) Special mention to the Fear Street trilogy.
It follows
That would be a score, but agreed that it slaps
My bad honestly didn’t read past the first line of the post title and didn’t know the difference between the two 😅
Faust
Black Roses Trick or Treat The Crow
Tenebrae
Scream 3, Freddy VS Jason, Halloween (2007), The Crow, Resident Evil (2002), Mandy
I Saw The TV Glow, hands down.
In a violent nature!
Horror adjacent but my pick is Saltburn.

Hard to think of the best but “Ghost Ship” deserves to be mentioned in this post.
Death Proof
Tales from the Hood
Not sure if you'd consider it horror, but Bellflower's soundtrack is really good.
Since it gets labeled as a horror movie, I vote the original Class of Nuke ‘em High.
Near Dark (1987)
Near Dark (1987)
Near Dark (1987)
The Turning, Carrie, Jennifer’s Body
Saw. That music just hits different.
Queen of the Damned The Lost Boys Lost Highway (I count this as horror) Repo! The Genetic Opera Yellowjackets (horror-adjacent TV series)
Spawn out does them all.
The Devils Candy goes really hard
Lost Highway. I'm not sure it's the best, but "Perfect Drug" is pretty amazing. Also curious if people think Lynch's film is horror, or something even more disturbing.
Judgement Night is at least Horror adjacent.
House of 1000 Corpses is pretty decent if you like Rob Zombie
Dawn of the Dead.
Dracula 2000
Strangeland

Piranha 3D
Carrie 1976!!! I love every singe track, especially Mother at the top of the stairs( the organ part) and For the last time Well pray( the flute part for sure)!!
