I remember sitting in the theater waiting to hear a classic Friday orchestrated piece, and I was totally bummed when I heard absolutely nothing. Not to mention the fact that the music that was created for the film totally sucked. There was just nothing riveting about it at all. Good scary music is supposed to build on the suspense of the movie. I was of the feeling that the scary parts of the film, could've been even scarier had they had some pieces of music that captured those intense scenes. I read the argument about Harry not wanting to repeat himself. He doesn't necessarily have to. Just like that of John Williams, Harry can take some of the classic score and add new music to it. John didn't suddenly drop the Main title from all of the Star Wars sequels. He kept it as is, and built upon it. I have faith that Harry can do the same thing. ...by the way, the other thing I couldn't stand about the reboot was another drab location shoot. STOP shooting these movies down in the south! The woods/forest they have been shooting in for the better part of 20 years don't look anything like that of the first two movies. The Friday franchise is supposed to take place in New Jersey, so the movies should be shot out on the east coast.

It's a classic Friday score, with a more 1940s horror twist in there. Mine would be, Harry’s from Part V.

I think it's time to shop around for a new composer. Jablonksy wasn't bad, it was just that his stuff was barely played. Meh, Manfredini’s latest stuff lacked something fierce.

Because his Jason scores sent a chill down my spine! It wasn't only about the ki ki ki ma ma ma...It was the tension in the music. The suspense he created with the music itself just added to the fun of it all. All of Harry's music in the Jason flicks always matched the feel of the individual movies the music came from. Like in Parts 1-5 his music had that pure terror feel/pure slasher sound that fit the movies absolutely perfectly(my faves). For Part 6 the music had a little gothic feel/campiness that totally matched the feel of the movie as well. In JGTH he went the synthesizer route with new sounds we never heard and transformed the F13th music into something very different as the movie itself was very different. In Jason X he went the way of synthesized sci-fi which worked because the movie was very slasher meets sci-fi. I don't think Jason X would have worked with classic F13 music cause of the sci-fi elements. Harry's work on each F13 movie has always incorporated what type of F13 movie it was. So, I believe that had he done the music to the new F13th reimagining, he would have created something wonderful and different as he always has. The music would have probably been orchestral and fast with lots of his classic zinging style but I think he would have modernized it very much being that the new F13 was itself very modernized. I think he should definately return to the F13th world and send chills up our spines again! Come back HARRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I would love Harry back.
