(I remember some of the audience's audible reactions to this moment in that movie when I saw this movie in a big theater; watching the entire movie that night remains one of my favorite movie-watching experiences)
And that music!!! Jerry Goldsmith's music score was life-changing for me - - his music is priceless.
Here's my favorite music part in the movie - - ("The Demise of Mrs. Baylock") -- if you have some minutes, give it a listen -- and DIGGGGGGGGG that demonic whispering the choir starts doing about halfway in the piece! Wow!! :)
EDIT: about the 1:13 mark is where the whispering begins

You and I have talked about this movie and its musical work of genius many times before. Even today it never fails to deliver. Love it and I too love the selection you posted.
Have I ever shared this version of Damien's lullaby with you. It is the song "The Piper Dreams" from the movie. In the film it is only instrumental but the soundtrack had a vocal of it performed by Goldsmith's wife.
Recently it was covered by this odd band named AxxonEn. Its just weird enough to go onto my playlist.
I wish I'd better remember details better of our conversations. :)
ooo -- the first seven seconds of this piece is creepy to me! The video makes it even creepier! I love it! (Obviously, that video has nothing to do with the music - - I mean, someone put it together to make it fit with this music! Excellent!0 - -yeah, i only knew of Goldsmith's wife's version.
I LOVE this AxxonEn cover! Thanks for posting it! (now, after listening, I wonder if you may have shared that with me before - - no biggie, either way - - it's all good, loved hearing it and watching)
A gay bud ands me --- we had walked together to go see the movie - - and walking home in the dark, late, both of us were laughing at ourselves about how scared we were just walking back to our homes in the dark! :)
I love the movie.
And, I agree with you -- "It's all for you!" - - what a scene!
A spooky movie from 1976 I think. Its "The Omen". A wonderful work in the classic horror genre. Its a movie that in the wrong hands could have been a disaster but with a score by Gerry Goldsmith unlike any score I have ever heard before, perfect direction by Richard Donner, and heavyweights like Gregory Peck and Lee Remmick bringing their star power, it is a recipe for a fun scare and movie magic which managed to become a part of cinematic and pop culture history.
I too remember seeing this film when it first came out. I was totally engrossed by it. I saw it in a smaller theatre with a full audience. I enjoyed it immensely. I do not believe I heard anyone cast a negative word of it.
If you're talking about my mentioning of the audience's audible reactions to that gif scene Tinkle Dink posted -- the audience members' reaction was one of terror. We were all so much into the movie and, finally, at this point in the movie (the end) - - we see little Damian do this - - whew! I heard gasping from people. :)
