The Haunting Of Julia (Full Circle) - Colin Towns


One of my favorite movies and soundtracks.
Based on a novel by Peter Straub, this film is one of the creepiest haunted house films of all time.
This film, and "Ghost Story," are the only two films based on Peter Straub's works, and that is a shame. I read a novel years ago, cannot remember what it was, but I thought for a popular writer, his fiction has been slighted cinematically.
The music here, by Colin Towns, is a creepy blend of simple piano and basic instruments, but it will send chills up your spine, almost becoming a character itself.

I'm really confused. Is the length of the first track (Theme) 10:43 like you would expect or one hour and 47 seconds as it appears on my .mp3 player. The second (Have You) is 2:22 or 7:10?
