Editing Ennio Morricone (section)

==== ''Giallo'' and horror ====
Morricone's eclecticism found its way to films in the horror genre, such as the giallo thrillers of [[Dario Argento]], from ''[[The Bird with the Crystal Plumage]]'' (1970), ''[[The Cat o' Nine Tails]]'' (1971), and ''[[Four Flies on Grey Velvet]]'' (1971) to ''[[The Stendhal Syndrome]]'' (1996) and ''[[The Phantom of the Opera (1998 film)|The Phantom of the Opera]]'' (1998). His other horror scores include ''[[Nightmare Castle]]'' (1965), ''[[A Quiet Place in the Country]]'' (1968), ''[[The Antichrist (film)|The Antichrist]]'' (1974), and ''[[Last Stop on the Night Train|Night Train Murders]]'' (1975).

In addition, Morricone composed music for many popular and cult Italian ''[[giallo]]'' films, such as ''[[Senza sapere niente di lei|Unknown Woman]]'' (1969), ''[[Le foto proibite di una signora per bene|Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion]]'' (1970), ''[[A Lizard in a Woman's Skin]]'' (1971), ''[[Cold Eyes of Fear]]'' (1971), ''[[The Fifth Cord]]'' (1971), ''[[Short Night of Glass Dolls]]'' (1971), ''[[Black Belly of the Tarantula|The Black Belly of the Tarantula]]'' (1971) ''[[My Dear Killer]]'' (1972), ''[[What Have You Done to Solange?]]'' (1972), ''[[Who Saw Her Die?]]'' (1972), ''[[Spasmo]]'' (1974), and ''[[Autopsy (1975 film)|Autopsy]]'' (1975).

In 1977 Morricone scored [[John Boorman]]'s ''[[Exorcist II: The Heretic]]'' and [[Alberto De Martino]]'s apocalyptic horror film ''[[Holocaust 2000]]'', starring [[Kirk Douglas]].
