Description
Who would've guessed that Syndey Sweeney's going to be our next scream queen? We could insert the infamous Paul Rudd meme ("Who would've thought?

One of these is the absolutely chilling, yet at times playful score, thanks to the brilliant Will Bates. On the week of the film's wide theatrical release Will and Áron talked about the building suspense in the music, the roller coaster ride it can take the audience on, and the instruments he used while scoring this film that you might not generally associate with the genre.
