Reply To: FSM # 29: Why the obsession with trailer music?

Well, long before that “Two Steps from Hell” act (and variations thereof), they often used existing film music, of course, and there was this obsession about it, that I noticed on film music forums. Not only the big and famous things, like Horner’s ubiquitous “Bishop’s Countdown”, but the ones you had to dig for. Didn’t understand the fascination back then, don’t understand it now. But it exists.
