THE SCREAMING SKULL - Ernest Gold - "Main Title" (1958)

Beside "Screaming Skull," Austrian composer Ernest Gold also did an enormous array of music including the music for the 1956 TV series cartoon "The Gerald McBoing-Boing Show." Besides cartoons he composed music for a number of crime drama, war, and western TV and movie titles. Very prolific & a master of creating a mood for any occasion, did I forget to mention he also composed the music for "Exodus," "Inherit The Wind," & "On The Beach." Pretty heavy credentials for the late 50's & early 60's without a doubt! The beautiful and voluptuous Peggy Webber plays Jenni Whitlock magnificently & really makes this film! Here's"Screamin' Skull."
 
 Oh, Yeah, nice car, cool grill, headlights & gull wing styling!!!

  1. The scummy gardener is played by director and constant cowboy movie star Alex Nicol, who also directed one of my fave Seventies grunge horror flicks -- BLOOD MANIA!

  2. When I first saw "The Screaming Skull" in the early 1970s, I thought the scene with Peggy Weber undressing was incredibly erotic. It was before implants and WonderBras. I worshipped her breasts.
