Scream: Music

The Scream franchise is a cinematic holy trinity, with the screenwriter, director, and composer working in perfect harmony. For Scream, Marco Beltrami is that essential third pillar. Eschewing the clichés of typical horror scores, Beltrami crafted music that is not only terrifying but also hauntingly beautiful, adding a distinct personality to the films.

Beltrami’s work on Scream propelled him to prominence, making him one of Hollywood’s most sought-after composers. His influence spans the entire Scream series, and his work remains some of the most memorable in horror history.

Here, is the full guide to all released Scream soundtracks.

The Scream franchise is as iconic for its music as it is for its scares. With a versatile and modern repertoire, the soundtrack embodies the spirit of the films, shifting between heavier tones for moments of terror and slower tracks to relieve tension or highlight rare romantic interludes. Its eclectic mix of lesser-known bands adds a unique layer to the franchise’s identity.

The original soundtrack for Scream was released on December 17, 1996, by TVT Records.

Highlights from the Scream OST
  • “Youth of America” by Birdbrain: A rock anthem with a Scream-themed music video that perfectly captures the film’s energy.
