Beyond the fact that movies like \u201cThe Shining\u201d, \u201cDracula\u201d or \u201cJaws\u201d have become\u00a0<strong>true classics of cinema<\/strong>\u00a0for their absolute brilliance, there\u2019s one thing we cannot deny: that \u201cThe Exorcist\u201d and \u201cPoltergeist\u201d would not be the same without \u201cTubular Bells\u201d by Mike Olfied or \u201cCarol Ann&#8217;s Theme\u201d by Jerry Goldsmith, respectively. The shower scene in &#8220;Psycho&#8221; would surely not work with &#8220;Singing in the Rain&#8221;, although it would be fun to try! And if you don\u2019t believe that music affects the narrative of history, take a look at the link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BEjxra5kHYI&amp;noredirect=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Horror movies are based on atmosphere: it prepares us to be susceptible to fear, to be surprised, to be deceived or it turns the scene around in the most unexpected moment. Noises, violent chords or simple lullabies are assembled with low-angle shots, contrasted light and characters to build the beginning of all our nightmares.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Halloween is getting closer, it is a good moment to get those works of art back. Works of art that are able to evoke, influence and communicate all the things that we can\u2019t see but hear while watching a movie.
