Sounds fine by me. If the theme doesn't fit in with Zombie's film, why force it? Besides, Halloween isn't just about a cool theme. I love the theme, I really do, but I'm not going to die without it being in the film. It's a piece of music that has been done in so many ways that, unless it's Carpenter's original, it's really not that effective anymore.As for the score that may be, I think ambient is a good change of pace from the stuff we've heard in previous films (Zombie's first Halloween film included). To me, every composer since the original Halloween II (which had Carpenter involved with the music) has over-thought the music (with the possible exception of Halloween 4, which had a more ambient mood as well). I've always thought that low, quiet sounds were a lot more effective than a large orchestra blaring and booming like crazy.
