It's a good point and a fair comparison. My guess is that Blade Runner features much more heavily on Classic FM's playlists than Halloween, so the viewers are more likely to vote for Vangelis's music than John Carpenter's.

Similarly, Howard Shore's Suite from Seven is a wonderfully brooding and foreboding piece of music (I'm listening to it right now) and it's probably unlikely to be played with much frequency on Classic FM!
