Day #9 of the 30 Days of Halloween Challenge

The prompt is A horror television show soundtrack or theme song

Carry On My Wayward Son - Supernatural

This theme song fits the show perfectly. I downloaded the song because of the series. It is over the front credits or the preview section.

Oh youtube suddenly stopped letting me copy and embed videos in my journal and on FB. I have no idea why.

"Carry On" is a great song (it warms my rock dinosaur heart) and it's a perfect fit for the Winchesters.

My selection: Night Gallery; main theme by Gil Melle

Night Gallery may have suffered in comparison to Rod Serling's previous anthology series, but its main theme, at least, measures up just fine. Gil Melle's all-electronics slow burn, combined with those ghoulish pictures coming at you out of the darkness, did a great job creeping me out every week. (Why they ditched it for an inferior theme for s3, I'll never understand.)

Melle also did the score for The Andromeda Strain (1971), and I highly recommend it. My favorite score of his, though, is 1973's A Cold Night's Death, a TV movie starring Rob Culp and Eli Wallach as Arctic researchers threatened and manipulated by an unseen presence. (Unfortunately, AFAIK, the soundtrack has never been available commercially...)
