Another album packed with more chilling orchestral music in the classic mode of horror, with dissonant violins, ominous effects, and punctuating brass chords that create an atmosphere of dread. “Epidemic” uses discordant pianos to build up waves of discontent, while “Poe Knows” makes for some very creepy underscore that would be perfect underneath a freakish monologue or that scene when the young actress is reaching out for the handle.
