Watching The Screaming Skull for the first time and I swear the title theme sounds just like the opening to The Shining! Has anyone else noticed this? I apologize if this has been brought up before.

The title music for The Shining was Dream of a Witches' Sabbath from Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique and The Screaming Skull did use the same piece of music. Since the Dream of a Witches Sabbath is about a man having a nightmare about his wife being burned at the stake by witches, and other gruesome things, it gives a major clue to what Kubrick's version of The Shining was all about: the ghosts weren't real, it's all the 'waking nightmares' of the Torrance family. Oops, I went off topic there. But yes, it definitely was the same musical theme.  |
