Lionel Ricihie’s “Hello” through movies (by ant1mat3rie)
The title of the film (as well as the novel upon which it was based) refers to the fact that, according to myth, vampires must be invited in before they can enter someone’s home (this is shown in the film when Eli asks Oskar to invite her into his apartment). The English-translated title of the book and film, “Let The Right One In”, is taken from lyrics to the song “Let the Right One Slip In” by Morrissey.

Miles Davis - Generique (via Elevator to the Gallows/Ascenseur Pour l’Échafaud: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
“I met the French filmmaker Louis Malle through Juliette Greco. He told me he had always loved my music and that he wanted me to write the musical score for his new film, Elevator to the Gallows. I agreed to do it and it was a great learning experience, because I had never written a music score for a film before.
I would look at the rushes of the film and get musical ideas to write down. Since it was about a murder and was supposed to be a suspense movie, I used this old, very gloomy, dark building where I had the musicians play. I thought it would give the music atmosphere, and it did. Everyone loved what I did with the music on that film.”
-Miles Davis, excerpted from Miles, the autobiography
Opening credits to Jackie Brown with Pam Grier. Song is “Across 110th Street” by Bobby Womack.
Miklos Rozsa - The Nightmare (via The Lost Weekend: Original Motion Picture Score)
Rozsa’s score for The Lost Weekend featured the first use of a theremin in a Hollywood film. He chose the instrument because he thought its eerie, other-worldly sound captured the distorted perceptions of reality experienced by an alcoholic on a bender.
