Ross,
Not sure if you have these already or would be interested, but if you go to Harry’s website, you can download portions of his score from the original Friday’s for no charge.

I do agree that I think at some point they should release this music for the fans. But, as you said, it believe it’s all about the rights issue.

It surprises me that Harry’s famous music from the series hasn’t seen more official releases. Think of just about any horror movie, and you can find a soundtrack. The only thing you can find for the first six Fridays is bootlegs (or a rare release that has music from the 1st three)!!! Maybe its all rights problems?

I haven't heard any news on a anniversary edition release. There are a lot of issues that would probably keep that from happening with rights between the composers and studios. The music from Part 7 and Part 8, which was composed by Fred Mollin, is for sale on a seperate CD. Check out this Amazon listing for the Part 7 and 8. The Jason Goes To Hell listing The Jason X listing The Freddy vs Jason Graeme Revell score You might be able to find these cheaper on eBay sometimes too.

Any chance we’ll get some of the music released on CD or downloads for the anniversary (or ever)?

Thanks again for the interviews. It’s nice to know what the people involved in the frranchise are thinking and what they are up to now.

I actually liked a lot of parts from his score of Jason Goes To Hell. The opening scene has a lot of his classic cues and sounds. I like the fast pace music he used uring the chase scenes as well. Overall, one of my favorite scores!

I have seen on youtube where people have rescored the new friday with Harry’s old score. It feels forced at times, and a little superimposed, but I see where the fan-editors were going with it, and it really would have been an improvment over the final product if they had used harrys score.

Here are some links.

Good stuff. Ive always liked the music styling in which the early friday the thirteenth films were set. It seems like they were often imitated in other (horror) films but never duplicated. Good interview it has some good info.

i hope he comes back to the francise, although unlike a lot of people i thought the score for the reboot was good. Was sure I’d read that there was no new score for part III, just spliced together music segments from the other two movies? I guess the interviewer was referring to the disco theme. That being said, the score for three was the best in my opinion. i loved the pt 1 ending surge music (from when jason pops out of the lake to grab Alice) being applied to Loco’s pitchfork in the gut. Part III is the best! Let’s get back to the clean cut Jason
