Another classic 60's thriller with an electrifying Jerry Goldsmith score that's
long overdue for a DVD release...with a cast including almost every working
male character of that era (Simon Oakland, John Anderson...and of course the
immortal James Hong, who claims he heard top secret gossip from the cleaning lady!)
Agreed. Great score.
shareVery reminiscent of PotA.
shareScreen Archives has it. Here's their blurb...
Jerry Goldsmith's score to The Satan Bug was an important stepping stone, featuring snaking, snarling atonality and avant garde suspense as a kind of bridge from his television work (such as on The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) to feature classics like Planet of the Apes. Goldsmith wrote for an orchestra devoid of high strings—only cellis and bass—with a battery of brass, percussion, woodwinds and two early synthesizers, the Hammond Solovox and Novachord. Utilizing 12-tone serial techniques, Goldsmith concocted an eerie, malevolent sound world of astringent action and seething creepiness.
