The first horror movie I ever saw at eight years old. Sleepless nights for weeks and an obsession with the horror genre since. Watching it again forty years later, I completely understand why the opening five minutes completely freaked me out. Mental.
Superbly eerie, calculatedly creepy score of the great 1964 B horror noir flick, THE NIGHT WALKER. Recommended viewing and listening! Thanks for posting
Parts of this theme was also used for the 1972 MFTV version of The Hound of the Baskervilles which starred Stewart Granger, Bernard Fox, Bill Shatner and Sally Ann Howes.
This had to be a dream project for Master Castle... a horror film from the writer of Psycho. I've been a fan of Vic Mizzy's music for as long as I can remember... the TV themes and don't forget the Ghost and Mr. Chicken's organ piece. What a thrill master!
LOVE IT!! Can you get the WHOLE SOUNDTRACK on TH-cam? I love to hear it before Halloween 2013 with a glass of whiskey and a shot of tequila and pretend I was young again I'm 61 years ...I saw the movie and I WAS SCARED !!!
I have the sheet music for this from the Vic Missy archive at UCLA. I'm working with Vic's publisher to get permission to print new arrangements of this and other spooky Lizzy songs. I will keep you posted.
Wow, I just looked in the internet a friend of mine said AMAZON has it ....BUT, they want about $149.00 for the CD...MAN, I really wish I could get it I WOULD if I COULD d0~0b

Some of Vic Mizzy's best music! What a creepy classic!
Getting a compliment from Composer Bernard Herrmann speaks volumes as well.
I was terrified by this movie as a kid. Never forgot the theme music, which still gives me a chill,

This is a great post. No one knows about this movie! How did you learn of it?
Love that Double Bass & Percussion note at 03:44-03:49.
Im just now finding this on Svengoolie
It just finished XD
Bought everything Mizzy had on cd years ago at reasonable prices. That includes the Percepto, RCA, and Chapter III releases.

My friend, if you are still thrilled by this music, you will ALWAYS be young!
Opening four notes are a direct lift from the musical Oliver (1960), "Food, Glorious Food" I believe the song is.
saw that movie in my youth in black and white, not a great movie, but what a great soundtrack!

I hope that your able to get permission to do so, I would love to get some sheet music for the piano of some of Vic Mizzy's music. Keep us posted.
Fancy seeing a big TH-camr with taste!
..highly descreptive music.. in a brilliant way...the horror!

Boy the cover art of this has ZERO to do with the actual film.
