Film composer Marco Beltrami and late director Wes Craven teamed up for the first four films of the Scream franchise and their loud and brash collaboration gave fans a pulse-pounding score. “Trouble in Woodsboro” and “Sidney’s Lament” are iconic, but the Scream movies had some additional support. If a slasher flick was going to be made, at a time when the horror genre was believed to be well past its port-mortem, great music would be a major factor in grabbing the attention of young audiences.

Magazine and website Fangoria, dedicated to everything horror, took a deep dive into the music of Scream and all its gory glory. In an article by James Wallace, he wrote about the first film’s sweet sounds, saying “Coming out of the '80s into the mid-'90s, you couldn't have a movie targeting teens without a soundtrack full of bangers--a cinematic mixtape made up of chart-topping rock stars and emerging artists alike.

Despite audiences having witnessed a brutal opening kill, the bulky computer Sidney is busy typing on might be scarier for modern-day viewers. After her boyfriend Billy climbs in through the bedroom window, cue Gus’ moody and slow vocals playing over the young doomed lovers. It’s much different from Blue Öyster Cult’s original, all the more perfect for the teen angst displayed on screen.
