Sound of Cinema - The Romance of Horror

Monsters, spooky atmosphere, terrifying effects, but horror is also a genre exploring ideas about relationships, as Matthew Sweet explains with music for the romance of horror. The programme features cues from classic Hammer Horror by Harry Robertson alongside Wojciech Kilar's 'Bram's Stoker's Dracula'. Also in the programme is some of Roy Budd's score for 'Phantom Of the Opera', some of Maurice Jarre's score for 'Ghost', James Wong's 'A Chinese Ghost Story', Georges Auric's 'La Belle et la Bete', Alan Menken's 'Beauty and the Beast', Carter Burwell's 'Twilight' and Richard Wells' 'Being Human'. And Matthew meets Academy Award-winning composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who discuss their latest score for the new Luca Guadagnino film 'Bones And All'.
