From the 1977 soundtrack to Dario Argento's Suspiria.
The greatest horror soundtrack artists of them all, Goblin (led by composer Claudio Simonetti) broke free of the typical "minor key and dissonant classical strings" sound that was the stereotype for numerous decades, and instead brought their varied blend of Italo-prog and avant-garde that remains to this day some of the most unique soundtracks since Morricone. This track was used to great effect for the very best scene in Suspiria, an over-the-top murder that was filmed with such attention to color and artistic merit in general that it's by far my favorite death scene of any movie. If you haven't seen Suspiria (and if you haven't, RENT IT NOW!) just stick with the audio-only version above, but if you have, take a moment to revisit how well this amazing soundtrack helps elevate the stunning cinematography into a total nightmare:
