Hi All,
Click on a flashback episode of my composer podcast On the Score, as we pay tribute to the musically inspirational Master of Horror WES CRAVEN, whose resurgence on the SCREAM series gave birth to the rampaging, scare-centric career of MARCO BELTRAMI. For this show recorded at the release of SCREAM 4, both men talk about a collaboration that would make a murderous imprint on the genre both excelled at.

Excellent post, excellent interview. What a team.
The end of an era in so many ways, in this case of a wonderful, iconic, endlessly bountiful artistic partnership that I am personally very sad to see come to an end.

Thanks for posting this. Listened to the whole thing and was nice to hear Craven praise Beltrami and discuss their working relationship. I think in this case Beltrami's unfamiliarity with the horror genre and expertise with musical techniques helped make his scores feel like a separate character in the movies. I like how when you said that the score for part 4 had more character moments and wasn't as in your face scary, Craven was quick to say that was only there to serve the moments the scares would enter, almost as if he was protective of his movie not being the scarefest people expect lol.
In hindsight it's odd that Scream 4 wasn't more successful than it was; it brought back all the key players (very rare for any part 4 of a horror franchise) and even added new upcoming talent and it was a genuinely great entry in the series, I'd easily rank it after the first. There was even the Arquette/Cox divorce thing going on, this movie had all the publicity it needed yet still couldn't draw in the crowds. The only explanation I can think of is that people were tired with the previous sequels or there was just too much time in between.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this, good interview.
Thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed. I agree. Scream 4 is actually my favorite in the series in every respect

Does Craven talk about other composer collaborations, or is it only Beltrami?
