Bernard Hermann's score from Vertigo is probably the best on this list. It's not only one of the top horror movie soundtracks, but it's one the best orchestral works of the 20th century.

Jaws and Psycho have more memorable music (and are higher on this list), but let's face it, their scores are about eight notes each.

Vertigo was not a horror movie. It was a psychological thriller as was Psycho.

And they completely missed The Day the Earth Stood Still!

One of the greatest compositions of the 20th century.
