Please recommend scary, horror progressive rock albums. I adore the Italian horror prog. I'm sure that I am not aware of all of it. Besides the Italians, please recommend others. Prog horror movie soundtracks are welcome.

Check out Devil Doll. Not only spooky, but also very good music. |

Since you're no doubt familiar with the best of the Italians' output, here's a classic via Sweden. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

I'm familiar with 60% of the Italian horror prog. I have my blind spots. That said, the album you recommended sounds amazing!

Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack to the film Near Dark. Keith Emerson's first soundtrack Inferno was for Dario Argento in 1980. It's a good one. |

I though this 2017 release was something really special. Thick with that cozy 1970's proghorror atmosphere I love so much. Ok, so it's comforting rather than scary to me, but the same goes for that Morte Macabre album. And Goblin... |

Dragon (B) - Dragon (1976) This album is not particularly scary and probably not scary enough for you, Cindy, but I can at least recommend it for the beginners of "the genre" - like me.  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

John Carpenter's soundtracks might apply. Prog magazine has written some reviews on some of these. He has released 4 volumes of Lost Themes that might be of some appeal. -------------

Good call. Carpenter is an all-around talented man. I recently purchased the Alien 3 soundtrack, composed by Elliot Goldenthal. I own several Fabio Frizzi horror movie soundtracks, too. The Omen and Phantasm soundtracks are on my wish list.

That is an amazing score, and so different than Jerry Goldsmith's or James Horner's work which were more traditional cinema music. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

There's loads and loads of fantastic 1970's (and early 1980's) "Horror Prog" scores. Here's a few favorites (where I love more or less the whole album, but releases of full scores are often a mess with tons of bonus material that's almost identical to each other etc... so I usually end up curating my own listen): Recently Reissued as with plenty of bonus stuff as Nightmare City. Amazing score interrupted by a (inoffensive) disco song sung by Grace Jones:) - and then we're back to the dark stuff again |

I love the Phantasm score. I first bought the LP from the Varese shop via Fangoria. I've owned several iterations of the CD. The recent LP is a completely new remaster (still hoping they issue it on CD). Have you heard David Hughes' score for C.H.U.D.? ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Saperlipopette!/Starshiper: This one deserves more mentions. Solamente Nero's score was composed by Stelvio Cipriani, but Goblin was brought in to play and record the music.
