Damn That Score!
Kevin Williamson wrote Scream, Scream 2, and The Faculty, and made contributions to the script for Halloween H20. Each were also scored by composer Marco Beltrami. Unfortunately, Beltrami did not create separate scores for each movie. He seems to have just remixed the same one for all four! There are three different directors between the four films and both Williamson and Beltrami have done plenty of work without the other (as though one or both of them were contractually bound to one another or something).
I find this "coincidence" incredibly annoying because I LOVED the score in the original Scream, but three movies later, I was well beyond sick of it! It's hard to enjoy those three latter movies now because it feels as though they just ripped off Scream. Anyone out there know the story?
