This article mentions Carlos's collaborations with Kubrick. She actually composed a full score for The Shining, but the director ended up using only parts of it. [0] Instead, he used existing pieces by other contemporary classical (acoustic) composers. Carlos's influence on music was huge, as this article points out, but Kubrick's eventual choice of music for The Shining has also gone on to influence horror movie scores since then. To this day, many emulate the sounds of Bartok, Ligeti, and Penderecki.
