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.
