Anything that Ennio Morricone did for the spaghetti westerns will be a good sound source.


Also check out Greg Edmonson's work on Firefly. It's a sci-fi/western series that ran for only one season, but the music is brilliant and captures the western vibe quite well.

 

 

Yah, go here, read this:

then listen to as much of his music as you can find.

 

Good luck.

I kinda wanna work with the cliche. It's only a Western because it's set in the West. It's actually a horror theme.


I can hear it so well in my head, but nothing I can find as far as other soundtracks to use as examples is "big" enough.

 

 

i dunno what you're hearing in your head, but i'd be tempted to do something really different instead of the same old western/folksy soundtrack that's been done to death already, especially since it's a horror flick and not a western. instead of looking to westerns for inspiration, i'd be listening to horror film soundtracks.
