Tenebre

Goblin had disbanded in 1980 and Keith Emerson scored Argento's Inferno, but Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli and Massimo Morante came back together at Argento's request. Simonetti chose a more electronic sound, an electronica and rock hybrid with disco elements in the main theme, and kept pieces to three or four minutes to suit Argento's long takes. Simonetti played keyboards, synthesizers and drum machines, among them a Roland Jupiter-8, a Minimoog, an Oberheim DMX and a Roland TR-808; Pignatelli played bass and Morante guitars. The film opened in Italy on October 27, 1982. Cinevox released the album in Italy; later pressings include a 1997 CD, a 2012 CD and a 2018 double vinyl on Waxwork. AllMusic gave it 2.5 out of 5, while Tim Lucas wrote that the score is so fused to the picture the film could be called a giallo musicale. Justice sampled it on "Phantom" and "Phantom Pt. II" on Cross (2007).
