FRIDAY THE 13TH Part 5 A New Beginning: Harry Manfredini
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.
The double LP soundtrack album features lavish new artwork by Matt Ryan Tobin, deluxe packaging and old-style tip on gatefold jackets.

Double LP ‘Impostor Jason and crystal lake’ tri-colour split with splatter coloured vinyl
