Score ID?

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
For me the icing on the cake was the score. It was so authentic both in style and in 'sound quality' that I cannot believe it was a modern pastiche.
On checking the credits, there are five or six composers listed, but I didn't recognise any of them.
Does anyone know if the music was composed especially for this movie or was it borrowed from original horror movies of the '50's. If so, could anyone name the movies?

cheers - Ed

All the music comes from the Valentino Library, which is based in New York, and dates back beyond the '50s. Some of the cues were used in many other '50s s-f films, most notably THE BLOB. The music in the trailer is comprised of Salter and Skinner cues from the classic Universal horror movies of the early '40s.
