Quentin Tarantino has admitted that Ennio Morricone's movie score for The Hateful Eight was originally composed for The Thing, Gigwise reports.
Talking at a post-screening Q&A session with Interstellar director Christopher Nolan in Los Angeles, the Tennessee director stated that most of the music Ennio Morricone created for his new film was in fact written for John Carpenter's 1982 classic The Thing.
“I had a little voice in my head saying, ‘This material deserved an original score.’ And I’ve never thought that way before, I’ve never had that voice before. I didn’t ever want to trust a composer with the soul of my movie,†Tarantino said about his reasons to reach out to Morricone.

Perhaps it just on my phone, but both links send to 404: page not found.
Dimitri Tiomkin’s score was the definitive one...
Morricone should have won for the best movie ever made “ Once Upon a Time in America”

I liked Carpenter’s score for The Thing.
Interesting.

It was also quite repetitive. Much more like a piece by Philip Glass.
Not very impressive.
Many of the western scores that have become classics such as those for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly or The Magnificent Seven included sequences that intimated the sweeping grandeur of the western landscape.
H8ful Eight I believe all takes place in a small cabin in a snowstorm. It would probably be inappropriate to have a musical score like those classics, but there is room for other elements that hint at the era.
Morricone's score has none of those referents.
Nevermind. I just read the trivia on IMDB about it.
Only because you said please, I won't bash the cop-hater.
