Great film and a great soundtrack!Nikolas of the Mists wrote:I like the soundtrack to "The 9th Gate"
Surprise, surprise its another great work by Wojciech Kilar
I'd also suggest the soundtrack to the 1931 Universal Dracula w/ Bela Lugosi which was redone by Kronos Quartet/Philip Glass in 1999.

Personally, I don't often use music during games, unless it fits with the in-character circumstances. Something classical in the background if the PCs are attending a Dementlieuse ball, for instance, or old vaudeville for a Paridon music-hall setting.
OTOH, I often write Ravenloft material while I'm listening to music. If I hadn't dug out my old CD of Alice Cooper's Constrictor, for example, Colin Graben (new NPC villain from the Nocturnal Sea netbook) would've been a very different character.

Nox Arcana has many fun albums just perfect for Gothic gaming. "Carnival of Shadows" and "Winter's Knight" are my two personal favorites. (Though if you use Winter's Knight, watch out toward the end of the CD, lest your players be distracted and begin wondering why the heck you're playing *Christmas* music...It is, technically, a Christmas album. Great rendition of Veni Veni Emmanuel, though...)
Always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual. --Terry Pratchett
Ohhhhh, I'm going to try these out at the next module I run out of the house. Hopefully at Halloween time
I have the house all decked out for Halloween, so I think the setting plus the music is going to really add to the horror modules I run.
Thanks for the ideas!
/cheers!
