VERY under-rated soundtrack!
I loved the soundtrack. It was perfect, and better than most american horror movies from around that time. I'm calling it under-rated because I have yet to see it mentioned in any other thread.

Yep. Fulci's movies, scattershot as they might have been in the story department, almost always had perfect soundtracks for the movies he was making.
City of the Living Dead's got a great, foggy atmosphere, but it would be a hell of a lot less without the warbling guitar over the heavy synth. Zombie without that thumping, marching score or The House by the Cemetery without its quasi-Bach are unimaginable.
You can thank Fabio Frizzi for that. He made music for many of his films.
Yes, i think it`s pretty good, but i think the theme song could have been used less. I think it kind of loses it effect because it`s used so much. I like it, but it`s just too much.
"Mother, this cloth smells of death"
Wait-hold on a minute now.
You bought the soundtrack to City of the Living Dead?
As far as I know it was never released/made available for purchase.
From where/who did you buy it?
What country do you live in?
I'm in middle North America (ignorantly called United States), myself.
This is the only release of the score/soundtrack I know of and it's one of those 'only from a convention' things because it has one of those statements on the back of the jacket along the lines of, "Not made for Retail".
It was just about 100 dollars and luck that it was there for me to buy.
