| Synopsis: It's 1968 in America.
Change is blowing in the wind...but seemingly far
removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town
of Mill Valley where for
generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It
is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah,
a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured
life into a series of scary stories, written
in a book that has transcended time-stories that have
a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers
who discover Sarah's terrifying tome.

From the very first screening it was clear
that the film already had a very specific atmosphere and
style, as well as a clear artistic message. Music just had to
intensify all these and go together with what was there
already. Guillermo and Andre were convinced that music was
going to be a crucial element in bringing everything together.
And after watching the director’s cut, Marco and I looked at
each other and realized that it needed a ghoulish and
orchestral kind of score. I mean, the movie felt like an
homage to Spielberg's Amblin movies and other great old films.
So, we had to acknowledge that in the music, too. In many of
Guillermo’s movies, some very clear message for the real life
hides behind the fairy tale and the fantasy world. This film
makes familiar stories strange, even though you recognize
their core. There are all these different textures, which we
wanted to use to inform the story. We came up with the idea
that every horror sequence was going to have its own 'sound
center.' For 'Harold,' we recorded these raw-sounding guitars and a broken banjo; 'The Big
Toes' came to be a brass-centered piece; 'The Red Spot' revolved around strings;
'The Pale Lady' turned out as a woodwind sequence; and 'Jangly Man' came to
be a percussive thing. We tried to be traditional in a modern way.
The audience will never pay attention to it, because, all in all,
it’s one single orchestral score, but we added a twist for
every story. |
