Music of the Scream franchise
The Scream slasher franchise has generated several soundtrack albums. American composer Marco Beltrami composed the film scores for the first four films in the series, while Brian Tyler has composed the film series since.
Scream (1996)
The original soundtrack for
The Scream score by Marco Beltrami was released by Varèse Sarabande on July 14, 1998, on a CD titled "Scream/Scream 2", which also contained tracks from the score of Scream 2.[3] The release consisted of only six tracks—"Sidney's Lament", "Altered Ego", "A Cruel World", "Trouble in Woodsboro", "Chasing Sidney", and "NC-17"[4]—with a runtime of only 12 minutes, compared to over an hour of music made for the film and the more common 30–45 minutes of music found in other original scores.[3] Some reviewers felt the restricted runtime was a result of the high cost of releasing a composer's music commercially, combined with Varèse Sarabande's unwillingness to pay.[5] The track "NC-17" was named after the censorship battles over the film.[6]
Scream 2 (1997)
The original soundtrack for
Scream 3 (2000)
The Scream 3 original soundtrack was released on January 25, 2000, by Wind-up Records featuring 18 songs consisting largely of the metal genre by artists such as System of a Down and Powerman 5000, some of which are represented in the film. The album fared better than its predecessors, spending fourteen weeks on the Billboard 200 and reaching a top rank of #32;[12] it was further certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying that the album achieved sales in excess of 500,000 units.[13] The album was released on iTunes on February 1, 2012.[14]

Scream (2022)
The Scream (2022) soundtrack consists of 15 songs primarily of the pop, alternative, and hip-hop genres and featuring artists such as Kim Petras, DJ Khaled, and Santigold. The soundtrack received positive reviews, with Joséphine Michele of Screen Rant describing it as matching the tone of the Scream films perfectly while still feeling modern, saying "the movie itself takes heavy inspiration from the first film, but Scream (2022) ups the gore and violence, and the soundtrack brings it into the 2020s."[20]
The fifth film's score soundtrack was released on January 7, 2022, by Varèse Sarabande.[21] The score was developed by Brian Tyler, making it the first film in the franchise with a score that was not created by Marco Beltrami, who composed the score for the previous four films. Tyler had previously worked with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett on Ready or Not.[22]
Scream VI (2023)
Scream VI was scored by Brian Tyler and Sven Faulconer. Tyler returned from the previous installment, and in January 2023, it was announced that Sven Faulconer joined to co-score the film.[23][24]
