Original score from the 2007 comedy horror feature film directed by Matt Flynn, starring Danica McKellar, Jay Kenneth Johnson and Juliet Landau.

THE STORY: Wanting to raise their grades, a handful of college kids are randomly selected for a field trip to study wildlife, but don’t get the chance as cliché horror film-style murders occur.

THE SCORE: With an abundance of interesting musical ideas and some very neat references to genre classics such as Interview With the Vampire, The Shining and Psycho, Scott Glasgow’s large orchestral score for this film, a tongue-in-cheek horror comedy starring Danica McKellar, William Forsythe and Sean Kanan, is both exciting, frightening and entertaining. The music was recorded with the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra in Bratislava under the baton of the composer, who had a blast doing the score which – just like the film itself – makes fun of other horror films. “What this gave me as a composer was an opportunity to explore all these visually parodies with musical parodies – if you hear similarities to your favorite film score it is intentional and appropriate for the scene. On top of that you get many other fun styles unrelated to any other films like circus music, baroque opera, Scottish bagpipes, Japanese ‘Samurai’ music and light orchestral ‘fun’ cues”, explains the composer.
