Synopsis: A year after her
mother's death, Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell), and her
friends started experiencing some strange phone calls. They
later learned the calls were coming from a crazed serial
killer, in a white faced mask and a large black robe, looking
for revenge. His phone calls usually consist of many
questions, the main one being: Whats your favorite scary
movie? Along with many scary movie trivia, ending with bloody
pieces of innocent lives scattered around the small town of
Woodsboro.
A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
The Land's End CD had just come out and two guys
by the names of Peter Kelly and Chris Probst were both involved
here. I had lunch with Peter where he was talking about the Land's
End CD. The next day Wes Craven's office, who had been interviewing
composers, had not found what Wes was looking for. Out of
desperation he had his assistant Julie call up Hollywood On Line,
this Movietunes thing. This is where I'm not sure, wheter Julie
called Chris because she knew him or she called Peter directly. The
fact that I had lunch with Peter the day before and he'd heard an
old score of mine called The Bicyclist, which he really loved, led
him to recommend to them that they listen to my work. I got a call
from Julie and she asked me to send them a CD or tape. I put
together some music and the next thing I knew Wes loved it and asked
to meet with me. I had an interview with him and he asked me all
kinds of questions about my music and what I'd been doing, we seemed
to be in sync. He showed me a little bit of the movie and asked me
to score the first scene where Drew Barrymore gets killed. We had a
meeting on Friday afternoon and he said "We're having a screening
and we'd like you to write something for this scene". It was a cue
that is thirteen and a half minutes long that I had to do. They
wanted it on Sunday so they could cut it in for Monday. So I said
"Okay" and I was nervous as hell, but I went home and wrote the
scene, gave it to Patick the editor, he cut it in, and Wes heard it.
I was sitting there when Wes heard it and I was so nervous, but he
loved it and they sent it to New York and the Weinsteins heard it
and loved it. The rest is history. I got the job and it worked out
great.
