This is going to be totally pedantic: Horner didn't really expand on Goldsmith's ST:TMP score so much as make his own thing, and Danny Elfman didn't score Ed Wood, Howard Shore did.
The more I read io9, the more I hate it. Blatant disregard for fact checking, lack of respect for the history of the genre, seemingly incessant obsession film only the film and TV aspect of the genre .
