This cover of a Prince B-side from 1985 kicks off the film as we pan down to a screening of the movie within a movie, Stab.
So, today we take a moment to reflect on all the 90s alt-rock, rap, and R&B goodness that exists within the Scream 2 soundtrack. The album spent 10 weeks on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in February 1998. In addition, the reviews on Amazon are high, and if the studio wanted a hit, they succeeded. Turek, the Director of Development at Blumhouse and creator of Still Screaming, and Galluzzo, Senior Editor at and creator of The Psycho Legacy, are two people whose opinions I trust. Hosts of the podcast, Rob Galluzzo and Ryan Turek, agreed that one highlight of the franchise is the music. Recently, I was listening to a Shockwaves podcast episode where they discussed the music from the Scream movies to celebrate Marco Beltrami’s score release on vinyl. I began to wonder, am I the only one who appreciates this soundtrack? Others have criticized the music on the album as filler tracks that weren’t good enough to include on the artists’ own albums. I think about the characters, kickass moments, and themes of the film.Īfter reading a few reviews online, I discovered that critics thought the Scream 2 OST release was nothing more than an attempt to create a hit soundtrack and make up for the less than successful sales of the first film’s soundtrack. Every time I hear a song from one of the soundtracks, it brings me back to Woodsboro (or Windsor College or Hollywood). Music has the ability to instantaneously take you back in time and recall feelings from distant memories. I still keep a copy of the soundtrack in the car and even created a Spotify playlist with music from the Scream films. I remember getting the CD that Christmas and playing it on repeat for months. On November 18th, 1997 Capitol Records released the soundtrack album Scream 2: Music From The Dimension Motion Picture.
