Whenever I watch 2010’s Birdemic, I wonder how the birds could possibly want to destroy a civilization that is capable of something like Hanging Out With My Family.

Horror Song of the Day: Main Theme From Psycho by Bernard Herrmann
Today’s horror song of the day really needs no introduction.
From 1960, here is the main theme from Alfred Hitchcok’s Psycho, composed by Bernard Herrmann.
Bonus Horror Song of the Day: Do It To Me by Riz Ortolani
Since I earlier shared the theme song from The New York Ripper, it only seems appropriate to share another 70s-style Italian horror theme song. From the infamous House On The Edge of the Park, here is Riz Ortolani’s Do It To Me.
Seriously, this is a song that gets stuck in my head every time that I hear it.
Horror Song Of The Day: New York One More Day by Francesco De Masi
Tonight’s horror song of the day is perhaps not as well-known as some of the other songs that I’ve shared. It appeared in Lucio Fulci’s controversial (to put it mildly) giallo, The New York Ripper. That film is so infamous for its violence, nihilism, and killer who quacks like a duck that it is something overlooked that it features a great score from Francesco De Masi.
This is the main theme from The New York Ripper and it captures the movie’s mix of horror and police procedural. It’s the 70s cop show theme from Hell.
Bonus Horror Song Of The Day: The Lions and the Cucumber by The Vampires’ Sound Incorporation
Today’s bonus horror song of the day comes from the 1971 film, Vampyros Lesbos. The Vampires’ Sound Incorporation was a band specifically formed to do the soundtrack for Jess Franco’s classic portrait of Eurotrash decadence. This song found renewed popularity in the 90s when Quentin Tarantino included it on the Jackie Brown soundtrack.
I like this song. It’s great driving music and it sounds like something that a vampire would actually listen to.
Horror Song Of The Day: Theme From The Fog by John Carpenter
Today’s horror song of the day comes to us from John Carpenter. Best-known as a director, Carpenter is also an accomplished musician and composer who is responsible for some of the most iconic horror themes of all time. Today, we offer you the main theme from his 1980 film, The Fog.
As I’m sure you have guessed, there will be more Carpenter songs in the days ahead.
Bonus Horror Song Of The Day: Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus
Since I seem to be in a vampire mood today, this only seems appropriate!
Horror Song of the Day: Main Theme From Zombi 2 by Fabio Frizzi
For today’s song of the day, we have Fabio Frizzi’s main theme from 1979’s Zombi 2. If you’ve ever seen the film, it’s impossible to hear this piece of music without imagining hundreds of zombies walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Bonus Horror Song of the Day: Electronic Battle Weapon 7 (Acid Children) by The Chemical Brothers
“You are all my children now.”
Hey, does that voice sound familiar? Who would have thought you could dance to Freddy Krueger?
Some people have told me that they find the clown in this video to even scarier than Freddy.
Horror Song of the Day: Buio Omega by Goblin
Today’s horror song of the day comes from the 1979 film, Beyond The Darkness.
This film’s soundtrack, courtesy of Goblin, was so acclaimed that it later turned up in several other Italian horror film, usually without anyone bothering to ask Goblin ahead of time.
