Although I recognize the name Charles Fox, I think his atonal electronic score for the William Castle produced and Jeannot Szwarc directed "killer bug" movie might mark his official entry into my ever growing collection of horror, science fiction, and fantasy centered movie soundtracks.
That a composter renowned for crafting memorable melodies such as the 1972's chart-topper "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and catchy themes for numerous television series, such as Wonder Woman, The Love Boat, and Happy Days, could and would compose something as strange and otherworldly sounding as the music for Bug only serves as another fine example of his sizable and inarguable talent.
The alien soundscape Fox crafted for Bug is a chilling experience in un-easy listening. Relaxing this is not...
And now I want to watch the movie again.
