One of my favorite movies of all time is Joe D’Amato’s haunting 1979 romance Beyond The Darkness.  Not only is it one of the best Italian films ever (and the best film ever directed by D’Amato) but I think it’s also one of the best films ever made.

One reason the film is so effective is because of its soundtrack, which was composed and performed by  (who else?) Goblin.  The music will be familiar to any Italian horror fan, largely because it was reused by about a thousand other movies that came out in the years after Beyond The Darkness.  (Director Bruno Mattei, in particular, was fond of it.)
