I'm a horror buff. I have followed him for a long time. In fact have some of his soundtracks. Demons has his feel all over it. Love the Bird with the Crystal Plummage. An Unexpected Violence is one of the best, moodiest soundtrack pieces ever. The same composer composed music for The Exorcist 2: The Heretic.
Ennio Morricone is arguably the best italian composer, he is most known his work with Sergio Leone, that was the master of Dario Argento. He was perfect for the soundtrack of the Giallo "animal trilogy" of Argento, "The bird with the crystal plummage", "The Cat o' Nine Tails", "Four Flies on Grey Velvet", but the most perfect fit for Argento were the soundtracks composed by the italian progressive rock band Goblin for "Deep red", "Suspiria", "Tenebrae" and "Phenomena":

The images are from a series of beautiful limited edition posters. My closest friends gave me one on my 21st birtday.

I'm also a big fan of Argento. "Phenomena", to this day, still gives me the worst nightmares!!! I'm really hoping Sandman is a "return to form" for him!
I hope too, because his last movie, "Dracula" 3D was a bit disappointing. I think his last GREAT movie was Opera. The stendhal sindrome was good too, but I don't like his daughter Asia Argento's acting skills too much.
Yeah, that deformed child is one of the most anguishing thing I've ever seen!
