Horror Movie Soundtracks 1996 – 2006
Presented by: Tristan Fidler
With Halloween around the corner, let’s celebrate the spooky season with an era that marketed horror to teens through marketable soundtracks. From Wes Craven’s Scream to James Wan’s Saw, two movies that reignited horror and set the goal posts for the successive trends in the horror genre. Here is two hours of goth-rock, pop punk, nu-metal, and trip-hop scores.
