The Jonathan Elias score from the 1984 classic "Children Of The Corn" is a chilling and superb piece of work that owes a great deal to the scores of "The Amityville Horror" and "The Omen". However, "Children Of The Corn" is a completely original piece of work, with its own mood and tone. It's dark, 80's synth all the way, and it's now available in a 25th Anniversary re-issue from Varese Sarabande, and sounds better than ever.
It's a spooky and ominous piece, and it perfectly captures the menacing mood of the film. The film, along with the score, has settled quite comfortably into cult classic status over the years. It's a must-have for horror score lovers, and is generally easy to find. And definitely worth the hunt. It's honestly one of the stronger horror scores to come out of the great 80's, and probably the most known score from an 80's Stephen King production. I'm actually listening to it now. Creepy stuff. Here's a sample.
