Music was a key part of what cemented the original Suspiria as a massive cult classic. Director Dario Argento tapped seventies prog rockers Goblin to score the film, resulting in what's hailed as one of the best horror movie soundtracks of all time. It's a tough act to follow, but Yorke's certainly up to snuff. "Suspirium" lacks any bit of abrasiveness, instead opting for an uneasy tranquility laced with Yorke's familiar, haunting falsetto. Hear it below.

Suspiria hits theaters everywhere November 2.
