Music from the House of Hammer : Music in the Hammer Horror Films 1950-1980

In Music from the House of Hammer, Randall D. Larson shows us how Hammer Film Productions's strikingly innovative use of music contributed both to the success of individual films and to the success of the studio. With music that was alternately romantic and experimental, Gothic and modern, Hammer composers helped shape the image of horror in the cinema. Remembrances by Leonard Salzedo, Monty Norman, Gerard Schurmann, Mario Nascimbene, and others, coupled with the author's critical analysis of each score, offer readers a sense of the history and artistry of the music that made Hammer films unforgettable.
