3. The Power of Spooky Music!

  • Summary

  • Tis the theme of All Hallow's Eve this week! Yes, we're a bit late... but not by much!

    In this episode we cover the spine-tingling but unsuspecting Exorcist theme and its origin. We also look at the accumulative End Credits theme of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.

    We discuss:

    • The GOATs of film music composition.
    • The necessity of music in a jumpscare.
    • When we discovered how magnificently talented we really were at a young age.

    The tracks we explore:

    • The Exorcist (1973) Main Theme, an excerpt from "Tubular Bells (Part One)" by Mike Oldfield.
    • The end credits theme, "Closing", from The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) by Danny Elfman.
