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 Complete Soundtrack By Harry Manfredini and Fred Mollin
