    Ensnaring, eerie... a truly haunting score. The film is a total gem of Gothic melodrama and Lovecraftian high horror.

    I love this theme, and the opening credits sequence in general. The stark black background against the webbing sets such a perfect mood for the film, and the music is fantastic. It's very grand, almost waltz-like, and it reminds me of Franz Waxman's score for "The Bride of Frankenstein".

    One of the best openings of any horror movie ever. Brilliant in its simplicity, setting the tone of dread perfectly. 😎

    Absolute gorgeous piece of music worthy of the classics, is very good up to 1.14 when the full string section comes in which then is pure ecstasy.
    The allegorical video very clever, as well as the beauty being trapped in a finely spun web.
    There was a limited edition CD of this film score and Premarital Burial of 3000. Unfortunately the first 1.14 of the above score is cut and replaced with the American International Pictures Fanfare, which not an uncommon practice on soundtrack albums and generally the one you want the most.

    This is Stein's best work IMHO.

      For me this one is tied with the opening theme from The Last Woman on Earth. Stein was a genius.

      @@garymorris9571I enjoyed the score for Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman. It had some interesting music for every scene in the movie.

    This was on TCM last night. I swear something I recently saw played this music because it was familiar. Great stuff, and I enjoy celebrating Halloween with the more classical atmospheric scary movies than the gross teenagers-getting-tortured-for-two-hours stuff people are generally into.

      I hate those kinds of movies. Classic horror is where it's at and the kind of movies I grew up on every Halloween.

    Pretty sure this was by Stein. Baxter did the much more psychedelic and ON THE NOSE music to the later film "The Dunwich Horror".

    I'm sure this was used in another Price film, but can't remember which!

    I know this is a dumb question but Why do I find this main theme sound so hot? Is it wrong for me to think that?

    Of course it's Stein- it says so right in the credits @ 2:14. Duh.

    The music is by Les Baxter -- not Stein!
