Friday the 13th minimalist horror scoring at its most effective: sharp string stabs, lurking synths and that infamous whispered “ki-ki-ki, ma-ma-ma” doing most of the heavy lifting.
Manfredini’s music doesn’t so much accompany the films as stalk them, building tension through repetition, silence and sudden jolts rather than grand themes.
Strip away the camp reputation, and you’re left with a masterclass in low-budget atmosphere - unsettling, sparse and far more influential than it gets credit for.
Essential late-night listening if you like your soundtracks cold, creepy and quietly iconic.
To keep in tune with the original 3-D theatrical release of the film, Waxwork created a deluxe 3D lenticular mounted album cover for the heavyweight old-style tip-on gatefold sleeve, which houses two LPs featuring the complete score.
180g metallic red and blue swirled colored vinyl.
