KeymasterI found this on the venue’s website:
“Come indulge in a new adventure where three world-class musicians invite you into a rare, intimate exchange. We’ve set aside the traditional program to focus on the fusion of three voices in unusual combination, an exploration of curiosities designed to be discovered in real-time. Dip your senses into a mysterious and delightful evening featuring new works woven from playful textures and wickedly fun ideas.”
KeymasterNice write-up. I need to go back to SEND HELP soon. I listened to it non-stop for weeks, and needed a break! We need a new Elfman score soon.
KeymasterBTS Featurette on the score from SEND HELP:
KeymasterSoundtrack album available digitally Jan 30, with a run time just over 47 minutes.

The FrightenersKeymasterGreat news, thanks for the update!
KeymasterBlu-ray featurette on the score has been announced:
KeymasterFirst trailer:
KeymasterWell my copy of the CD arrived today. Not much inside the booklet except extensive credits. Of note, Chris Bacon is credited with “additional music arrangements”, and is not indicated as co-composer on any of the tracks.
KeymasterFunny, this came up. I’ve been a bit cool on DRACULA. Not entirely sure why, but I find it’s missing some clarity, perhaps in the orchestration. It sounds very streamlined, missing many of the burrs that Elfman’s style and voice bring to things. Consider DARK SHADOWS, for instance, versus DRACULA. Perhaps it’s in the recording, but to me DRACULA doesn’t have that overtly decorated feel I expect from Danny.
KeymasterDigital release coming August 22, 2025.
KeymasterThat’s good to hear. I was a bit concerned skimming the S2 V1 album on Spotify and not really hearing Elfman’s theme jump out at me, I figured maybe they excised him entirely (but why?)
KeymasterI ordered the CD from Waxwork today. Sorry to see it’s the same content as the streaming album. I was hoping for a few alternates from the FYC version to round things out.

KeymasterIs Danny Elfman back?!?
KeymasterI was going to post a screencap, but that seemed like an old-fashioned way to share the post when Instagram lets you do that already…
KeymasterLots of unreleased and alternate (film-version main titles) music here—

You can assemble an extended score album with a little patience and a lot of tape.
KeymasterKeymasterI’m going with a wild theory here that Danny only wrote the main and end titles — perhaps the Dolores flashback, but that’s it — despite that interview from earlier.
KeymasterI don’t mind the mix—it starts off like a bit in the Dark Shadows sonic world. The plinkety ethnic percussion is pure Boingo before those two big notes (electric guitar?) The brass on the left does sound a like a sample.
I’m really bummed about this no score album news. My hope was we’d get new material even if it wasn’t in the film. I guess we’ll have to wait until it slowly filters out to the collector community.
KeymasterI’m mellowing after my initial reactions to the film. It’s not the films fault it wasn’t the movie I’d built up in my head. Fingers crossed if the score gets released there are some used bonus tracks.
Not sure if it’s a bad sign but the score was recorded in London and LA. Those LA sessions could have been last minute rescoring and replacements making this entire thing so frustrating.
