A soundtrack is meant to enhance a movie ,but I just finished watching Masque of the Red Death for the first time and thought there were parts that would've been better without the soundtrack.
Are there any movie's you can think of where the soundtrack hurts a movie instead of helping it.

I would say the whole Giallo genre. It takes so much of my enjoyment away from Tenebre or Suspiria listening to Goblyn.
Great soundtracks would be The Thing, Psycho, and the Wicker Man.

I was watching a John Woo highlight and a lot of the seems would've been cooler without the generic rock in the background.

After watching Deep Red I'd say i have to agree. Though I wouldn't mind listening to the songs in another movie or just as music I think that except for the little kids song the music took away from the tension.

i once saw a movie where they could only afford one peice of music . so the heroic music for ''lets kill this vampire'' would have been used for ''hey come look at this basket of kittens '' it might have been alright if they left the music out out of some scenes but they didn't they used it for everything

The Great Escape would play this cheerful music even though they were in this POW camp.

The 30th Anniversary DVD edition of Night of the Living Dead.
The lack of music through most of the original release made it even creepier. Adding new footage and a soundtrack by some emo-looking goof (Scott Vladimir Licina) that played a priest with a mustache not of the period in some of those bonus minutes of footage was a total abomination. My fellow Austinite, Harry Knowles of Ain't it Cool news "promised to permanently ban anyone from his publication who offered positive criticism of the film". A nice man and a wise man, I tell you what.
That crap ruined the movie. Don't fix what's not broken. John Russo, I'm looking at you. Fuck you very much.

I tried watching Nosferatu with some crappy gothic/ industrial music added in and it just wasn't good, added to the fact that the visual quality was also extremely bad I decided to watch the original version and it had a great soundtrack.
