Please keep in mind that the majority of the artists that appear on this blog, along with their respective record labels, are not wealthy and need your support.

Various Artists - The Exorcist (1973)

It is the time of year when many people go searching the internet for scary music for their parties or their own amusement. Undoubtedly there are thousands typing "the exorcist soundtrack" or "the shining soundtrack" into G00gle. It's understandable. The pieces of music used in William Friedkin's 1973 religious horror staple were well chosen. Penderecki pieces dominate this collection. It's always safe to go with Penderecki if you want to frighten your audience or generally instill a feeling of queasiness. I was listening to this album the other day to "wind down" after my brain was bombarded by a professor at school. My hair stood on end I kid you not. It was "just what the doctor ordered".
