Whoah, check this out (main theme from a horror movie from a famous Italian director :o)
The House by the Cemetery ost main theme 1981
Ah, there we go. :) Watching the film, the music never really struck me as very
Castlevania-y, but listening to this tune now, it definitely has that sort of vibe.
I've posted this before, but there are some Claudio Simonetti (of Goblin) songs used for the film
Opera that I feel are a bit
Castlevania-esque.
OPERA Soundtrack 02 CrowsHas that rockin' flavor of
Rondo of Blood type stuff.
OPERA Soundtrack 03 Impending DangerI could also see this as an underground or dungeon level theme.
OPERA Soundtrack 05 ConfusionThis song reminds me of
Castlevania if for no other reason than it has similar instrumentation to the X68000 Arranged tracks at the end of the second disc of the original
Dracula X OST. :p Like this "Simon Belmont's Theme" remix:
Simon Belmont (Arranged Version2)Oh, and there's also a further
Castlevania-esque reprise of the above song.
OPERA Soundtrack 10 Confusion RepriseKinda reminds me of the Tower of Sorcery in the '64 games.
