The Frighteners: Rescored

The opening scene from Peter Jackson's 1996 film The Frighteners, with new music by me.

Obviously not a patch on Danny Elfman's score, but I'm quite happy with it.

Great work, man! How did you remove the original music track but still retain the dialogue?

@sonicmuse On the 3-disc DVD there's a music featurette that compares the scene with and without score.

I agree about it being a bit sub-par in the kitchen scene... I was just hoping no one would notice.

I've added some strings and brass to the latter half of the video... see the video response above...

Nice, what program did you use to compose it?

[untamedaggression]

Cheers, dude.

I used Garageband for Mac, employing the Orchestra JamPack add-on.

When the camera enters the house and we see the girl running down the stairs we need to feel a texture change in the music.

I really like the original, it reflects that it's supposed to be a comedy as well. though this is good, it works.

solid work, well done. It get's a bit "boring" during the scene in the kitchen I think. I'd have added some pizz basses and spicato violas but like I said very solid work :)
