INTRADA Announces:
FEAR STREET TRILOGY 5-CD SET
Music by MARCO BELTRAMI, MARCUS TRUMPP, BRANDON ROBERTS, ANNA DRUBICH
INTRADA ISC 498
Marco was my first and only choice for composer. I started thinking about him before I had even finished the scripts. All of his work is incredible, but his score for the Scream series completely reinvented the language of horror music. I think it’s genius and so inspiring—it manages to be fun and energetic, but with this unnerving chaos that keeps every scene on edge. This was exactly what I wanted for Fear Street. Needless to say, when he officially came on board I was over the moon with excitement.
-- Leigh Janiak, Director
Intrada presents an expansive 5-CD set featuring the music from the three-part movie series Fear Street. The spellbinding original scores are the work of a team of composers led by Marco Beltrami, whose extensive horror credentials include the original Scream, The Faculty, and high-profile remakes of The Omen, The Thing and Carrie. The vision was to create a separate musical identity for each movie, but with an overarching, coherent spirit. Each part is set in a different time period, with a complementary score. Joined by an immensely creative team made up of Marcus Trumpp, Brandon Roberts and Anna Drubich, Beltrami was able to create a saga of horror music and some of the most thrilling music for full orchestra and choir. Fear Street: 1978 is a striking standout with its use of large chorus and Jerry Goldsmith-inspired action riffs.
At the time the movies dropped on Netflix, vinyl and digital albums were released, but no CD made an appearance. Given the sheer amount of music written and the epic nature of both score and films, it became a priority for Intrada to seek out a license and give each score full presentation in a deluxe package—each score is in its own jewel case with newly commissioned cover art by artist Sam Gilbey and housed in a cardboard slipcase. The entire set was produced by Scott Williams and Tyson Lozensky working directly with the composer team.
This album wouldn't be possible without the kind cooperation of both Sony Music/Milan and Netflix.
Before author R.L. Stine gave readers Goosebumps, he introduced them to Fear Street—a series of more than 150 novels, including spinoffs. Targeting a mostly teen audience, the books chronicle murder and mayhem in the cursed town of Shadyside, USA. In 2021, Netflix partnered with Chernin Entertainment to release a trilogy of interconnected Fear Street films inspired by Stine’s novels, drawing especially from The Fear Street Saga. The films, spanning from 1994 to 1666, follows a group of teenagers in the cursed town of Shadyside as they confront a series of supernatural killings linked to an ancient witch, Sarah Fier. The saga begins with a modern-day massacre, delves into a summer camp slaughter in 1978, and ultimately reveals the origins of the curse in 1666. As the teens unravel the mystery across different time periods, they uncover dark secrets and face malevolent forces to break the cycle of violence haunting their town.
