Matthew Sweet with a selection of film music inspired by the theme of Halloween, from the classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to more recent manifestations such as - Halloween.

Matthew looks at representations of Halloween in film in the likes of 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' and 'Meet Me In St Louis' and turns to scores from some of the great and scariest horror films, such as Suspiria, The Quatermass Xperiment, Doctor Who, The Night Of The Hunter, Psycho, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Babadook, Candyman, Insidious, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, Sinister, and - the Classic Score of the Week - John Carpenter's influential music for the 1978 Halloween.
