The Film Score
Like many of you, I love this movie and it still creeps me out, decades after I first saw it as a kid. The score, by Carmen Dragon, was probably the first one I noticed as a child as really contributing to the story......almost like another character; I thought it was brilliant! It really made me pay attention to music in other movies and appreciate how much it can help convey the emotional content of a film.
Also a bit of trivia....did you know that Carmen's son Daryl was the "Captain" in the 70's pop group The Captain and Tennille?
