Best End Themes in Horror

[The_Driller_Killer]

Hey guys, what are your favorite tunes to jam to during the end credits of your favorite horror films? Here's a few of mine. These tracks aren't only a good listen, but compliment the film's conclusion, in my opinion:

"Bad Case of Lovin' You" - Performed by Paul Rogers
From Dr. Giggles

"Haunted" - Performed by Poe
From Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

"Don't Be Afraid of Your Dreams" - Performed by Go West
From A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

"Fright Night" - Performed by J. Geils Band
From Fright Night

"Scary Movies" - Performed by Pleasant Company
From Return to Horror High

"You're Just What I've Been Looking For" - Performed by Frank Vinci
From Sleepaway Camp

Well, that's just a few for now. I'm sure a ton will come to me later. For now, I'll leave the floor open to you guys.

From Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 LOVE that one, Poe is fantastic. Except I originally heard it from the "House of Leaves" 'soundtrack'. Pretty cool song.

"How Can I Live" by Ill Nino for Freddy vs. Jason.

[Servo]

"Why Was I Born?" Performed by Iggy Pop for Freddy's Dead
I just love the montage sequence during the credits and the song rocks the house.

"One Step Closer" Performed by Linkin Park for Dracula 2000
I love Linkin Park, and I'm one of the few people that loved Dracula 2000. Listening to this song as I left the theater was just awesome.

I just was going to type that. Absolutely haunting theme.

How about that sad and slow song that played during the credits of Jacob's Ladder.

or that one song by Poe that played during the credits of Stir Of Echoes.

Or the cover of "Don't Fear The Reaper" by some band I can't remember in The Frighteners.

If anyone can help with song titles and band names, I'll appreciate it.

id forgotten about that, one of the best soundtracks to a film ever

"How Can I Live" by Ill Nino for Freddy vs. Jason.

[TheAxeGrinder]

John Carpenter's themes for Halloween, Escape from New York and The Thing (okay, the last one was by Ennio Morricone, which is actually a better trade off when you think about it) were kickass ways to cap off those movies, particularly The Thing's theme.

"The Hell of It" performed by Paul Williams at the end of Phantom of the Paradise.

I fuckin' love "The Hell of It". Sometimes I watch the entire movie just for that moment alone.

Yes, it is. Very quirky though. Very 70s.

"The Time Warp" and "Late Night Double Feature" - Performed by Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show

Both songs are actually sung by Richard O'Brien (and the second one is actually called Science Fiction/Double Feature). Great song choices!!!

you are the fucking bomb.


<bows to wheresdonnie?>


even though i was not a fan of the movie, i thought 'Down with the Sickness' was a good end theme to DOTD 04....i also liked the lounge version of it in the middle section of the film.

I always dug the theme to Dream Warriors.

Your right, I got confused. Its just that when I think of anything related to Rocky Horror, Tim Curry always pops into my mind. But I love both of those songs a heck of a lot! I just bought that DVD and spent like the whole weekend watching it over and over again....I love that part of the time warp song where it says "but its the pelvic thrust that really drives you insaaaaaaane!" Funny shit.

That movie is too cool.

I really liked that song as well...Im not a fan of disturbed, but that song is very fucking catchy.

[The_Driller_Killer]

I had completely forgotten about the "Science Fiction Double Feature" Reprise at the end of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Excellent choice! Has always been one of my favorites. I love how the song sounds so somber, almost as if it's playing out of a music box.

[Mr-Blonde]

Okay-- as long as we're at it I gotta show some love for the Killer Klowns from Outer Space theme song by The Dickies.

[therealjohng]

"Fantasia for Stings" at the end of The Exorcist is creepy as hell.

Definitely. Gotta love that "Killer KlowowowowOOH!"

[the_ultimate_evil]

childs play theme from the first film, i thinks its played over the credits, its a paino and a voiceless choir,


i used to have an mp3 version but lost it:(

[William Munny]

"The Road Leads to Nowhere" as sung by David Hess over the credits of "Last House on the Left", and then the version his kid did over the "Cabin Fever" credits.

[MadmanMARZ]

He´s back (the man behind the mask) by Alice Cooper
for Friday the 13th part 6
Identity crises by Cooper from Monster dog
I´m the Future from Class of 84 with Cooper
Love song for a vampire by Annie Lennox in B.S Dracula
Cry little sister from Lostboys (Main theme)
Strong as I am from Michael Manns thriller Manhunter

are a few great songs in horror movies

[deadeye]

The ballad that runs at the end credits of My Bloody Valentine. Don't know who did the song, but it fits great.
