This movie gave me a phobia of skulls and skeletons that lasted until the end of my teenhood. Now, as an adult artist, I draw horror themed art. Nothing like my childhood fears to fuel my creativity as an adult.
I remember my grandparents having a VHS of it and thinking it was gonna give me nightmares Then one day my grandma and I actually watched it and I was bored out of my mind.
So glad to have recently got this magnificent score by Danny elfman on CD. I always considered it to be among Danny's best work along with the scores to the first 2 Batmans with Michael keaton!
It's not just influence - It's a direct homage. The movie itself is a huge love letter to the sci-fi b-flicks of the 1950-1960s. So Elfman had to reflect it in his music - and he did.
While teaching "Music in Film," I started listening to the different music from different composers. I never realized the influence that Bernard Herrmann had on Danny Elfman. I knew Elfman was inspired by his score for "The Day The Earth Stood Still," but I never realized just how much. Listen to "Prelude/Outer Space" in TDTESS and then listen to this. Very cool...kind of a "passing of the torch."
@@user-nw3qf4xf2eOh absolutely. Dark humor is the concept of making light of a serious subject matter or situation. Good example off the top of my head in this movie: The Martian Ambassador and its bodyguards kills the entirety of congress on live television in a gruesome fashion. Mass Murder in graphic display. Everyone is reacting in disgust and horror to this massacre. Meanwhile Natalie Portman dryly says, "Guess it wasn't the dove" and an old lady in a nursing home points at the tv, yells out "They blew up congress!" and bursts out laughing. It's making light of the entire situation, and makes what would normally be considered a gruesome scene actually quite funny. That's dark humor, and Mars Attacks is full of situations like that.

@@rileysjonger4192 the actors aren't the problem, it's more the general tone which feels always the same now. Sleepy Hollow was the last original, then every subsequent film imitates Sleepy Hollow.
