The Music was what really killed this movie for me


Don't get me wrong, Howard Blake is a good composer. But compared to Lalo Schiffren, the score for this movie sounds way too cartoonish and forced. Like a Disney Halloween special, that it makes the unintentionally laughable
suspensful/scary scenes evEn
more hilarious.

Ha! The scene where the guy is playing the "creepy" music on the keyboard had me and my husband in absolute stitches!!!

I like the music, I think it fits the movie very well. I suppose it is a bit cartoonish, at times, but so is the movie at times. I like some of the melancholy tone in some of it, and it is spooky at times if not in the same way as the first and second movie's music.
