THE GHOST OF SORWORTH PLACE
Composed by Lalo Schifrin
This was one of the few music scores not specifically written for Night
Gallery. Lifted from Dark Intruder (a busted TV series pilot given a
theatrical release in 1965), Lalo Schifrin's music wound up cut-and-pasted
into four Gallery episodes, the first being "The Ghost of Sorworth Place."
Schifrin, who started his career as pianist for Dizzy Gillespie and later
composed for such projects as Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke, The Amityville
Horror, and Mission: Impossible, delivered a score of brooding power and bold
orchestral colors which translated perfectly to Night Gallery.
The music was also reused prominently in "Last Rites for a Dead Druid"
and "I'll Never Leave You -— Ever."
