Friday the 13th Special – Favorite Halloween Movie Themes
Who can’t remember the haunting melodies of “Tubular Bells” from The Exorcist that still give us chills every time we hear them? Or the iconic Addams Family theme created by Brooklyn-born TV and film composer, Victor Mizzy, that perfectly reflects the series’ and films’ eerie themes. Whereas, the theme from Beetlejuice composed by the brilliant Danny Elfman, takes you on a sonic roller-coaster of insanity with the french horn as its backbone and piano instrumentals, trumpets and trombone sounds for staccato upbeats. This fall, you can listen to them and many more at The Chapel on Sycamore at a Friday the 13th Special, celebrating the soundtracks of Halloween movies.
