Marco Beltrami’s Scream Score Returns on August 28

Marco Beltrami’s original music for Scream will be reissued on August 28. The original 14-track album will return as a single LP, with seven different vinyl variants planned. The expanded version goes beyond the 14-track vinyl release and collects 40 cues from the film that previously appeared in the 2022 Scream box set.

Beltrami provided 13 minutes of music for Scream early in his career. At the time, he had never composed for or watched a horror film. Budget restrictions prevented Beltrami from using a large orchestra for the music. The Cue from Hell is a 10-and-a-half-minute cue.

Scream was released in 1996, and Beltrami composed the scores for the next three films as well. Beltrami received Academy Award nominations for The Hurt Locker and 3:10 to Yuma.
