Indeed, Tom. Panic In the Year Zero! has one of the most jarring scores I've even heard on a soundtrack, made even worse by the rather old-fashioned "family values" nature of the movie, which reflected star-director Ray Milland's own social and political views, which were quite conservative. All that jazz (so to speak), plus Frankie Avalon's being in the movie, really "trash it up". The film might have worked better had it been made for Republic, which was, alas, no longer in business in 1962. AIP's flicks had a jazzy-youth oriented-hipster feel to them, even when they weren't formally dealing with matters for which such an attitude would seem appropriate, and this "breaks" Panic In the Year Zero! just as much as it "makes" Bucket Of Blood and Little Shop Of Horrors.
