Composed by Robert Prince
While busy in the worlds of Broadway, jazz, ballet, and the New York stage, Robert Prince turned to writing music for television in the 1960s, winning an Emmy Award with co-composer Billy Goldenberg for an episode of The Name of the Game. For Night Gallery, Prince made his mark with his tense, hair-raising score for "The Dead Man," a tale of a betrayed husband and a hypnotism experiment gone awry. Prince's panicked, quasi-operatic finale for the race to the cemetery, scored for cathedral organ and orchestra, throws this gothic nightmare into vivid relief.
Prince's fine score was reused principally in "Clean Kills and Other Trophies."
