An ideal listen around and during Halloween. Very atmospheric, foreboding and eerie. Better than Charles Bernstein's haunting score for the original Elm Street. Christopher Young outdid himself here.
shareYeah the score rocks. And it's also fascinating as a kind of state-of-the-art for orchestral horror in the mid 80s. You can hear some influence of Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner, and you can almost hear it take some steps into territory that Marco Beltrami would cover with Scream in the coming decade.
shareGood call on Goldsmith and Horner.
I need to familiarize myself more with Beltrami.
