ZOMBI, released in 1978, is actually the international version of George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD, edited by Dario and Claudio Argento. This movie features an amazing soundtrack created by the legendary Italian prog-rock band Goblin, with its iconic lineup of Simonetti, Morante, Pignatelli, Marangolo, and Guarini. The music is a perfect combination of sinister synths, rock guitar riffs, and driving tribal percussion, blending electronic and acoustical elements to create an unforgettable score. The band brings out the suspense on-screen, adding to Romero's action-packed set pieces. Interestingly, some of these cues have been repurposed in other Italian exploitation films, which is a testament to Goblin's enduring influence among genre directors
