Scream (2022 soundtrack)

The soundtrack to the 2022 slasher film Scream, a direct sequel to the Scream film series, comprises a score composed by Brian Tyler and an array of licensed music tracks. Unlike some previous entries in the franchise, this soundtrack features a more prominent and contemporary selection of songs spanning various genres including alternative rock, electronic, and pop.

Tyler’s score aims to evoke the suspense and tension of the film while also paying homage to the musical cues established by Marco Beltrami in previous Scream films. Recurring musical motifs are interwoven throughout the score, connecting it thematically to the broader Scream universe.

The licensed songs are strategically placed within the film to enhance specific scenes and amplify the emotional impact of key moments. These tracks often serve as counterpoints to the on-screen violence, or underscore the anxieties and relationships of the characters.

The soundtrack's release accompanied the film's theatrical debut, and is available digitally and physically. It is generally considered a significant component of the film's overall atmosphere and storytelling. The inclusion of both original score and curated songs aims to cater to a wide audience, appealing to fans of horror film soundtracks as well as contemporary music enthusiasts.
