Shownotes

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.
