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.

I have this Carpenter, a re-recording by him of his film music --

That is an amazing score, and so different than Jerry Goldsmith's or James Horner's work which were more traditional cinema music.

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. Tongue

Actually, it's only the last track which is a bit scary, but it's a nice album. Big smile

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.?

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.

That one is a great album, methinks. Pity that it has been overlooked.

Yes I love the opening title, but not so much as a full album.
